Best Venice-Castello holiday apartments

Unique Vacation Rentals in Castello

Castello is the largest ‘sestieri’ in the city of Venice. It is home to a dazzling array of classic Venetian architecture, stunning waterways and plenty of Italian charm. Originally, Castello was a 13th century port and has transformed into one of the most visited areas in Europe. Remnants of Venice’s naval past can be seen at every turn, and Napoleon’s Biennial Gardens still wow visitors with their stunning beauty. Venice, and Castello in particular, is famous for its incredible Churches, and no visit to the floating city should pass without paying a visit to the Church of Santi Giovanni and the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci.

Venice is famous for its incredible architecture and extensive network of waterways, but you should ensure you don’t miss out on its eclectic selection of art and culture. The San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, is home to an amazing collection of Carpaccio’s finest works. Take a trip to the San Zaccaria and you’ll get the chance to gaze upon a selection of artworks by the likes of Bellini and Tintoretto – as well as catching a glimpse of the famous flooded crypt. However, if you’re in search of stunning Ital-ian architecture, the Santi Giovanni e Paolo Church boasts a number of interesting structural features and a selection of interesting artefacts inside. The best way to immerse yourself in this stunning city is by staying in your own vacation rental in Venice from 9flats.com and see the city through the eyes of the locals.
