Company information

I'm born in Venice and I'm back after work experience in EU and far east. I'm a traveller and I fully understand the needs in relation to travel. It will be a pleasure to tell you about my favorites restaurants, authentic craft stores or best bakeries, but I even tell you which are the bad shops with fake souvenir. Once in a while, you'd need a help to schedule your tour. I'd be helpful to plan or resolve any doubt or unforseen. I'm not a guide, but I'm born in this amazing city and I'll be here to welcome you.

Ideal for independent travelers, smart workers, or couples, Sottopiano is a simple yet authentic base in a strategic location in the heart of Venice.

Neighbourhood information

Sottopiano is located in the sestiere of Castello. This neighborhood is populated by the highest number of locals. This means it's easy to find useful shops, fish markets, handcraft shops (not just souvenirs) and the last old cobbler and barber shops. The apartment is for exclusive use of the guests. Do you want to reach Saint Mark’s Square or Rialto in 10 minutes and the Biennale Gardens in 7? Or maybe... do you want to get on a public line boat bound for Murano in 3 minutes? If your stay is at Al Piano, all these options are available. This neighborhood is populated by the highest number of locals. Visit "Walking Venice", our channel of daylife on youtube. This means it's easy to find useful shops, fish markets, handcraft shops and the last old cobbler and barber shops. In this sestiere you’ll find the Biennale Gardens, Arsenale, Sant'Elena (the green area of Venice). Castello shares a border with Saint Mark Square, the historic heart of Venice, and Rialto Bridge, crossroad and center of the city where you can find the central fish market and fruit and vegetable markets. Some of them unfortunately have converted to touristic products, but there are still many authentics...
