‘Chic’, ‘elegant’ and ‘luxurious’ are the first three words that spring to mind when you lay eyes on Apartment Elisa, a stunning four-bedroom apartment that accommodates up to six guests. Boasting show-stopping views of St. Mark’s Basilica, St. Mark’s Square and the Campanile, this stylish property enjoys a prime location in the heart of Venice, and features everything you and your family need to enjoy a relaxing and memorable city break.
Apartment Elisa is located on the fourth floor, and is resplendent in light, neutral shades with wooden parquet flooring, and delightful decorative touches. The fully air-conditioned property features a bright and spacious south-facing lounge/diner, with tall glass doors that flood the room with light and open out onto a glorious furnished terrace – the perfect spot for enjoying a morning cuppa while you take in the breath taking views of the Basilica. You’ll find ample, comfortable seating in the lounge, as well as plenty of dining space for enjoying meals with family and friends, along with a cosy relaxation area with library and a TV for your entertainment – if you can tear yourself away from those gorgeous vistas!
To the rear of the sitting room, you’ll discover the apartment’s galley kitchen, well-equipped with oven and hob, high-end appliances, and a good amount of food-preparation space. Towards the front of the apartment is Apartment Elisa’s elegant master bedroom, a stylish haven of comfort and relaxation featuring a comfortable double bed and glazed doors leading out onto the terrace and overlooking the bronze horses of the Basilica.
The apartment’s second double bedroom is just as beautifully presented, with sumptuous furnishings and a sophisticated ambience, with steps leading to a fabulous ensuite bathroom with shower facilities. The apartment also has two single bedrooms, perfect for kids and charmingly chintzy with a fresh white decor and accents of rose. One of the rooms has an ensuite with a shower, and there is also a separate bathroom with a bathtub for the convenience of the other guests. Apartment Elisa features a handy laundry room with a washer/dryer – ideal for those who are enjoying a longer stay, or for guests who want to pack a little lighter and save some room in their luggage for those all-important souvenirs.

Location:
Apartment Elisa’s location is truly spectacular, just a few steps away from restaurants, bars, boutiques, and iconic historical attractions. The apartment overlooks St. Mark’s Square, one of the most famous piazzas in all of Italy, and which Napoleon once called the ‘drawing room of Europe’. This incredibly beautiful spot is an absolute must-see while you are in Venice, and it is here that you’ll find the famous St. Mark’s Basilica, the jewel of the square and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful churches you’ll ever see.
The basilica is full of stunning mosaics, relics of St. Mark himself, and perhaps most famous of all, the four bronze horses (that are actually made of copper!). Tours of the church interior are free of charge, but it is worth knowing that queues to enter this popular attraction can exceed 45 minutes at peak times, so Oliver recommends showing up early!
If you want to enjoy one of the most iconic views in all of Venice head to Campanile San Marco, a fantastic vantage point for looking out over the Doge’s Palace, the basilica, and the Venetian Lagoon. Unlike some of the tower views in Italy, this one requires you to simply take an elevator to the top, rather than climbing hundreds of stairs – bonus!
For an afternoon of people-watching, refreshments and relaxation, you couldn’t be in a better place, as there are several beautiful little cafes in the piazza, all serving excellent coffee and delicious pastries – often served with a side order of live music. Oliver recommends visiting Caffe Florian while you are here, which opened its doors in 1720 and is thought to be the oldest cafe in Europe. Enjoying an authentic Italian coffee in a 300-year-old cafe while overlooking a 1000-year-old church is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
It’s hard to spend time in St. Mark’s Square without noticing the impressive St. Mark’s Clocktower, which virtually rubs shoulders with Apartment Elisa and features a stunning blue face and gold zodiac symbols. To truly appreciate this 500-year-old masterpiece, we highly recommend booking a guided tour to enjoy the inside of this fascinating building.
