Scaleter is the term used to indicate pastry chefs in Venice. The name derives from some desserts that were produced on the occasion of special parties or weddings.

MORE IN DETAILS
Sleeping 4 + 2 guests in a classic pared-down elegance, the apartment comprises :
– An entrance hallway
– A canal-facing sitting / dining room with plush sofas (including a sofa bed), a dining table for 6, and a semi-separate well-equipped kitchen
– An inner hallway at the centre of the apartment, off which sit Scaleter’s 2 roomy double bedrooms. The first bedroom to the very rear of the apartment overlooking the Palazzo’s narrow inner courtyard / calle to the side, with a beautiful wooden beamed ceiling, a double bed, plus a separate walk-in wardrobe with wood-lined interior. The second bedroom offering a similar outlook and dressed in similar style with a double bed and restored stuccoed ceiling overhead.
– Scaleter’s 2 modern bathrooms are also off the inner hallway – one with a mirror-backed bathtub lit by an intriguing Gothic quatrefoil stone window bringing to mind the Palazzo’s ancient roots, and the other with a shower & wash hand basin leading to a separate w.c. & bidet just beyond.
LOCATION :
The apartment is located in the heart of Cannaregio, overlooking the quiet Rio di Santa Fosca canal. The entrance is on a closed fondamenta, very quiet as it is not passing through but a few steps from Strada Nuova, the main artery of the city that connects the railway with Rialto and San Marco.
The Rialto bridge is a 10-minute walk away while the Casino di Venezia and the Ca’ D’Oro are in the immediate vicinity.
The area is very characteristic, easy to reach from the mainland and at the same time convenient for exploring the city.
CONNECTIONS :
The entrance to the building on the Rio di Santa Fosca makes arriving by water taxi very practical and spectacular.
However, getting around by public transport is just as simple as the Scaleter is located near several vaporetto stops: San Marcuola to move along the Grand Canal, Madonna dell’Orto and Fondamente Nove to reach the airport and the islands of the lagoon.
