Housed in a historic building, this apartment is situated in the Riviere Esterne neighbourhood of Padua. While you'll need to take the stairs up to the home's entrance, it has two small balconies – one overlooking the district’s internal canal and another over the Riviera Paleocapa. If you need to catch up on work, there’s a study area here too, but we bet you’d prefer to explore this cultural city. Known for its frescoes such as those in the Scrovegni Chapel, there’s plenty to see. The iconic Specola is a five-minute walk, while an eight-minute stroll will take you to Piazza Duomo and the centre of this university town is ten minutes on foot.

Home truths
Please note, there is a lift in the building, but it is only for residents on the upper floors. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the first floor.
The double bed in the main bedroom is positioned on a raised platform with two steps. This means great views of the canal, but it may not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.

There's a dedicated desk space here should you need to catch up on work.
Free on-street parking is available.
