Interior and Layout

The PONTE DE LE ERBE apartment is an intimate, bright space of approximately 40 m² with a height of 4 m. The main area is an elegant living room combined with a dining area featuring a large table and a fully equipped kitchenette. Neo-Gothic windows let in plenty of light and offer a view of the canal, bridge, garden, and a typical Venetian street with picturesque shutters.

A charming cast-iron staircase leads to the mezzanine, where the main, comfortable bed is located. A second bed of the same size is located in the living room, discreetly tucked behind the sofa. Guests can choose which bed they want to use — just inform the host. Access to the bathroom is through the antibagno (anteroom).

House Rules and Atmosphere

Guests have the entire apartment at their disposal. We encourage you to enjoy the authentic Venetian rhythm of the day: open the shutters in the morning and close them in the evening. We kindly ask you to:

• No open flames or matches (historic building).
• Respect the quiet hours – this is an authentic home with local neighbors.
• ADULTS ONLY – Due to the unique character and style of the apartment, this space is intended exclusively for adults. It is ideal for a couple, for three friends who are comfortable in a shared open space, or for a single person wishing to immerse themselves in solitude and fully experience the Venetian rhythm of life. The apartment is designed for a maximum of 3 people. The apartment is not suitable for small children, and we do not accept pets. We take care to ensure that every guest can enjoy an elegant, comfortable space, free from signs of use by toddlers or four-legged companions. Thank you for your understanding — this helps the place maintain its unique atmosphere and high standard.
• Smoking cigarettes and using e-cigarettes is strictly prohibited in the apartment. Please respect this rule for the comfort and safety of all guests.
