Choose a holiday apartment in Venice Rialto

Rialto is the heart of Venice, and the oldest settlement area in this beautiful ancient city. This region was famous as a section where ships laden with spices, fabrics and exotic goods docked while on their way to far-flung markets of the world. Rialto is home to the famous Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, and a perfect spot to book a luxury apartment in Venice while you explore the city and the plethora of tourist attractions found in the region.

Rialto earned its name from the Latin term Rivus Altus, which loosely translated means deep stream. It was a perfect place for habitation by the natives due to the fact that it gave protection from the high tides of the lagoon. Ancient Rialto was not as attractive as it is in the modern times. Italians were fond of throwing rubbish from windows and letting pigs roam free, which would then scrounge off the waste and multiply in the hundreds. Thank goodness for the passage of time, as modern day Rialto is a sight to behold, with intricately carved and colored gondolas floating lazily by the canal, bathed forever in a beautiful light at all times of the day. The balmy, breezy weather ensures that should you choose a holiday apartment in Rialto, you won't ever have to worry about adverse weather conditions, just sunny skies, white fluffy clouds and temperatures ranging between 30-34 degrees Celsius. Downtown Rialto is cooler and can be visited any time of the day.To the south of Rialto lies the Riva Del Vin, which was a port for wine barges that used to dock there. This is a perfect area for shopping and eating out due to the many restaurants and shops that cater to a variety of tastes and budgets. While here, you can check out Ristorante Pizzeria Wine Bar.Some places that are worth checking out include Campo de la Pescaria, the fruit and vegetable market, and Casa del Parmigiano, the local cheese store specializing in an array of cheeses you can purchase. Drogheria Mascari, situated in San Polo 381, is a specialty shop which stocks Venetian knickknacks and souvenirs, coffee, spices and dried goods.Rialto is the perfect place to start and stay in for that magical Venetian holiday, romance, charm and beauty all rolled into one Italian gift.
