Manifesto

Casa Anconeta is…

City. Travel. Balance.
A space where to focus and ponder on your trip to as well as your accommodation and overall stay in Venice

City

Casa Anconeta is a space where to discover possible new ways to stay in the historical old town of Venice, starting from a synergical dialogue among its dwellers – be them temporary (students, workers, visitors) or permanent. The goal is to find possible proposals to make living in Venice sustainable.

Travel

Knowledge, respect, relation with the local context all allow to appreciate the history, culture, and distinctive features of the city, while making your trip a unique experience. The respect for the local context spans from the transportation modes to reach the city up to the length of your stay. At Casa Anconeta we highly appreciate slow arrivals (by foot, bicycle, rowing or sailing boat, train) and long stays. We aim at raising awareness around travelling in a sustainable and responsible way.

Balance

To reach the goal of reducing as much as we could our waste and environmental impact, and thanks to the collaboration with two craftsmen, we gave new life to two historical wardrobes from our grandparents, now turned into ten decor pieces (other wardrobes, cupboard, dresser, wall units, kitchen island). Several other objects of Casa Anconeta’s, display forms of salvage, reuse, and solidarity sharing, and have been donated by nearby organisations as well as by single supporters.
