Choose a holiday apartment in Venice DorsoduroAre you looking for the magic of Venice before it succumbed to commercialism? Dorsoduro lies just across the Grand Canal from San Marco and has managed to leave the hordes behind. This district is situated higher than the rest of Venice and forms a peninsula with St. Mark's Basin, the Giudecca and the Grand Canal surrounding it on three sides. You may remember the quaint place from the 1955 film 'Summertime'.The Santa Maria Della Salute dome can be seen from almost every holiday apartment in Venice Dorsoduro, standing out against the skyline. Its dome is equally popular from the inside, with splendid paintings by Titian on the ceiling of the sacristy. Campo Santa Margherita is the bustling center of the area; locals and tourists flock to its cafes and pubs. This district is a cultural hub and has a large community of creative persons, including writers, painters, musicians and fashion designers. There is a good chance you will see an artist trying to capture the essence of Dorsoduro with focused strokes of the brush. The Gallerie dell'Accademia was the institute for art in 1750 and is a much visited art museum today, with masterpieces such as the 'Tempest' by Giorgione. You can reach Dorsoduro by crossing the wooden Ponte dell'Accademia bridge. Visit the old boatyard where the trademark gondolas of Venice are made. It is situated around the corner of the San Trovaso and Ognissanti canals and appears like a gigantic cuckoo clock rising out of the water. Wander through its alleys at leisure and explore the numerous stores, each offering something unique, right from traditional block-printed Venetian fabrics and paper and Carnival masks to hand-made mirrors and designer kitchenware that will give your kitchen back home a complete makeover. After a tiring day of shopping, get treated to sumptuous Mediterranean seafood at La Piscina, accompanied by a glass of wine or two. With a Venice holiday apartment in orsoduro that complements the natural charm of the place with its coziness and warmth, it is no surprise if you decide to extend your stay or make this an annual getaway. |
