For an open terrace in Venice, start with Ca’ Lorenzo. For a smaller space connected to the kitchen, consider Ca’ Raquel Attico, described as a small terrace with a veranda. These are different holiday apartments: choose the kind of outdoor space first, then check access and availability for your dates. If an open balcony is a requirement, ask before booking.
Compare the space before choosing the apartment
Both apartments are in Castello, near Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Compare the outlook separately from the outdoor space: the view from a bedroom can differ from the view outside.
| Apartment | Space and connection | Outlook | Capacity and floor | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ca’ Lorenzo | Open terrace connected to the apartment | Rooftops and campo from the terrace; canal from a bedroom window | Up to 5 guests, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom; third floor | Route onto terrace, current seating, stairs and lift arrangements |
| Ca’ Raquel Attico | Small terrace with veranda, reached from the kitchen | Bedroom and living-room windows face Campo Santa Maria Formosa; canal view unconfirmed | Up to 4 guests, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom; third floor | How the veranda opens, usable space, seating and access |
Guest capacity is the apartment’s overnight capacity. It does not establish how many people can sit outdoors together. If separate bedrooms matter, Lorenzo has two; Raquel has one. Check the sleeping arrangements for the whole group on the detail page.
Ca’ Lorenzo: an open terrace above the rooftops
Ca’ Lorenzo’s photograph shows the terrace layout, with a table and four yellow chairs. The opening photograph also shows this apartment’s terrace. The terrace faces rooftops and the campo. Lorenzo’s canal view is from a bedroom window, a separate feature of the apartment.
Lorenzo is the starting point if sitting in the open air matters to the stay. Before planning meals outside, ask whether the furniture shown remains in place and whether the current arrangement suits everyone in the group. Photographs describe the space; they do not confirm its setup for future dates.
Ca’ Raquel: a small veranda off the kitchen
At Ca’ Raquel Attico, the kitchen leads towards the small terrace with veranda described in the apartment details. The table in this photograph is inside the kitchen. For meals outside, ask what table and seating are available for your group.
The bedroom and living room overlook Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Ask separately about the view from the veranda itself. Ask how enclosed the veranda is, which parts open and how the space can be used during your stay. If a fully open terrace is essential, confirm those details before selecting Raquel.
Terrace, balcony and veranda: choose by use
A terrace, a balcony and a veranda should not be treated as interchangeable booking filters. The useful question is what you want to do: step outside, sit with a book, or eat together. An open terrace and a partly enclosed space can answer different needs. Here, Lorenzo offers the open terrace and Raquel the smaller terrace with veranda. A separate open balcony is not listed among these options.
If the priority is watching water from the apartment, read the canal and lagoon view guide. For the neighbourhood around these apartments, see our Castello guide. The wider apartment catalog helps compare outdoor space with bedrooms and location.
Questions to settle before requesting dates
- Use and privacy: is the space reserved for this apartment or shared, and are there any rules on its use? Ask about screening from neighbouring windows if this matters.
- Seating: what table and seats are currently available, and can the group use them together? Ask for confirmation rather than estimating dimensions from a photo.
- Access: both apartments are described as third floor. Ask about the stairs, any lift, the doorway or threshold onto the outdoor space and luggage. Explain any mobility needs before booking.
- Children: ask about barriers, openings and access from inside. An outdoor photograph does not establish suitability for a child.
- Weather and season: how exposed is the space to sun, wind and rain? What shelter is available? Plan an indoor alternative rather than relying on outdoor meals every day.
- Dates: request the apartment for the actual arrival and departure dates and full guest count. A terrace photograph does not indicate availability.
Frequently asked questions
Does a terrace mean a canal view?
No. Lorenzo’s terrace faces rooftops and the campo; its canal view is from a bedroom window. Raquel’s canal view is unconfirmed. Choose the view and the outdoor space separately.
Is Raquel’s veranda the same as an open balcony?
The description calls it a small terrace with veranda connected to the kitchen. Confirm the enclosure, opening and usable space if an open balcony is a requirement.
Is there a lift to these apartments?
Both are described as third floor. Ask about lift availability and the full access route. Ask before booking if stairs affect your choice.
Can the whole group dine outdoors?
Lorenzo’s photographs show a table and four chairs, while its overnight capacity is five. Raquel’s pictured table is indoors. Confirm current outdoor seating and suitability for the group.
Check your dates with the space in mind
Open Ca’ Lorenzo or Ca’ Raquel Attico, review the full photographs and send your dates and guest count through the apartment’s request form. Add the outdoor use and access details that matter to the stay. Our direct-booking page explains the request process; ask for the total and applicable terms for those dates before confirming.
