Aponal Lusso
San Polo
This is the most spectacular piano nobile apartment (400 sqm) of a 15th century palazzo cocooned around the Rialto and Campo San Polo close to the Pappadopoli gardens, in an optimum position for those seeking complete privacy in tranquil surroundings.
Previously an old upholsterer's atelier, the space has been impressively restored by the interior designer owner. No expense has been spared on the exquisite fabrics and furnishings throughout the whole apartment.
Enter into the grand salon tastefully decorated and with high ceilings, exposed original beams, frescoed walls, hanging tapestries and terrazzo floors. Various chaises longues and velvet sofas are scattered throughout, tempting its occupants to lie down and luxuriate for the entire duration of the day. Vast windows light up the entire space and lead to a step on balcony, the perfect setting for an afternoon aperitivo. The salon is overlooked by a minstrel’s gallery, the ultimate zone to wind down and relax in complete comfort.
The salon leads to a large contemporary well-equipped kitchen, designed in a witty and novel fashion with an exposition des lumieres for the adventurous. Just a few steps away is the bright and classical dining gallery with frescoed ceiling, ideal both for formal entertaining or a simple meal with family and friends. A step on balcony further adds to the charm of the room.
The apartment has three double bedrooms decorated in serene tones with luxury linens, each with high standard en suite modern bathrooms. The master bedroom and guest bedroom have high ceilings and bathrooms with bathtubs with shower attachments. Both are positioned either side of the dining gallery. The third bedroom is a mezzanine with exposed beams and ensuite shower room.
