Palazzetto Grand Canal
Price available upon request
A stunning, light filled apartment with direct views onto the Grand Canal, the Salute Church and the Guggenheim. This property boasts expansive room spaces and extraordinary designer details, making it the ultimate romantic and stylish place to stay in Venice. Not many private villas can offer such magical views from every window in the three sublime salons, which give directly onto the Salute, the Guggenheim, and open out to the lagoon; all with amazing light streaming through during the day. Simply breathtaking.
This architectural tour de force was hand crafted by one of Venice’s leading architects in collaboration with one of France’s leading decorators, and takes its inspiration from the work of Carlo Scarpa, with its terrazzo floors, creamy marmorino walls, bronze windows, and incomparable floor to ceiling slab marble bathrooms. Furnished with a curated collection of wonderful 50’s and 60s furniture from iconic Italian designers and architects including Gio’ Ponti, Gardella, Franco Albini, Caccio Dominioni, Angelo Mangiarotti, Ico Parisi, Fontana Arte, Bruno Gambone and Marcello Fantoni.

Floor/Building:
The villa is situated on the Calle Dose da Ponte and the Grand Canal. There are only 3 apartments in the building so it is very private. There is a private jetty for the Calle which is just outside the villa, so the water taxi stops there and then its about 10 meters to the door to the villa.
As per the historic nature of Venice, most residential buildings do not have elevators. This is true for this villa. There are two levels of stairs before you enter the villa. If you need assistance with luggage, we can arrange a proffer service to meet you at your water taxi. -
