This palatial home is a whole second piano nobile floor (400 square metres) of a huge 15th century palazzo seven minutes from San Marco with terrazzo flooring, high ceilings, and a spacious feel which is so hard to find in Venice - the perfect large residence for only those people seeking the complete Venetian experience, with lots of space and great Venetian style.

The large terrace is divine, with views as far as the lagoon.

The main entrance opens into a large salon/entrance hall, usually a vast empty space but which has the possibility for use for dinner parties up to 12, and off which lead the various reception rooms and bedrooms. Double doors open onto the main drawing room with exquisite original casement windows on to the canal below, a bright and sunny room with big squashy sofas and elegant furniture. From this room you enter the library/formal dining room, a peaceful and distinctive room. The apartment is furnished throughout with beautiful antique pieces, mirrors and chandeliers, while decorative finishes and stucco wall features have been added by its talented and artistic owner, making it very much a comfortable home with personal artifacts and objets d'art.

The apartment has five double bedrooms (all either double or twins) and five luxury bathrooms. The kitchen is modern and well equipped.

Our comment: This is the quintessential Venetian home, with masses of character and style. Everyone should stay here at least once in their life!

Facilities: Telephone/fax, washing machine, dishwasher, central heating, TV/video/ CD/ DVD. Air conditioning in four bedrooms and one reception room.

Note: this apartment may be booked with either four or five bedrooms - please ask us for details.
