Quintessential Venetian Piano Nobile of a 16th century Palazzo

San Marco

This is the quintessential Venetian residence encompassing the entire piano nobile (roughly 300 sqm) of a 16th century palazzo designed by the renowned Jacopo Sansovino. Only a stone's throw from San Marco, you will be able to escape to this haven in the oldest sestiere of Venice, relax in the private garden (260sq.m.) under the shade of the fragrant magnolia tree and let the rest of the city slip into the background.

What better way to arrive than along the Rio della Pietà to the private water entrance of the Palazzo. Entrance through main ingresso to the first floor (35 steps) into the impressive salon adorned with exquisite frescos by Paolo Pagani, high ceilings, 18th century oil paintings original terrazzo floors and magnificent antique Murano ‘Rezzonico’ chandeliers. The spacious salon has been designed in two sections with both a formal dining area and an elegant yet classic sitting area. Both benefit from the abundance of light streaming through the vast Gothic style windows which at one end leads onto a step on balcony with views of the canal and at the other end onto the divine private garden below.

Stuccoed portico doorways lead to a labyrinth of rooms, one into the modern and well equipped ‘live in’ kitchen full of fantastic cookbooks and another into the library with shelf upon shelf of antique books in a multitude of languages. This tranquil spot boasts the most spectacular and breathtaking views of San Giorgio Maggiore from the step on balcony. Divine.

The apartment has three good-sized double bedrooms each with high standard bathrooms, two on the first floor with high ceilings and the third a mezzanine on the second floor with exposed beams, parquet floors and a small dressing room.

All bedrooms have integral air conditioning and luxury bed and bath linen and white dressing gowns are provided.

Our comment: A fantastically restored apartment in classic Venetian style enhanced with all modern conveniences. A dream come true!
