Meticulously restored to its original splendour, this once hushed space once more rings aloud with the happy chatter of delighted guests captivated by its very special ambience, exquisite décor, unparalleled comforts and fine sense of history.

Offering memorable accommodation for up to 9 guests, Ca' Cerchieri Loredan is on the 1st floor of the palazzo served by lift and has a Grand Canal water entrance for smooth as silk arrivals, departures and sightseeing trips by water taxi.

Furnishings throughout are a much-loved miscellany of 17th -19th century family antiques intelligently integrated alongside modern and classic pieces and decorative features, many of them specially designed for the palazzo by the highly respected Florentine company ArchFlorence (experts with impeccable credentials, whose work graces some of Italy’s finest properties).

Sofas crafted by Florentine artisans are upholstered using traditional Venetian cloths, while the description of room finishes reads like a Who’s Who of the very best in international interior design in which gorgeous Zoffany and Brunschwig wallpapers rub shoulders with sumptuous Fortuny fabrics and Farrow & Ball paints.

Truly ravishing and offering air-conditioning in all its main rooms (with the exception of the bright and airy ‘salone’ – see below), its accommodation comprises:

• A capacious light-filled formal ‘salone’ where Venetian terrazzo flooring and the lofty beamed ceiling provide a fabulously jaw-dropping framework to intricate 18th- century gilded wall sconces, twinkling Murano chandeliers suspended from above and, one of the most priceless features of the piano nobile if not the entire palazzo, the stunning fairy tale Venetian Gothic windows opening directly onto a long marble balcony overlooking the Grand Canal 

Come play Doge of all you survey…

• To the right of the salone and also overlooking the Grand Canal sits a regal yet comfy and tall-ceilinged sitting room bedecked in antiques and rich golden fabrics and where 18th-century Venetian mirrors in gold leaf – a fashion of that bygone age and crafted by one of a number of ‘Lacador’ artisans – sit beside plump teal blue velvet-soft sofas and two intriguing collections, one of antique wax seal stamps sourced at auction in London and the other a cherished family treasury of silver boxes from Russia and China, all cleverly displayed within a handmade Roman crystal glass table

• To the left of the salone sits the main dining room also fronting the Grand Canal – a vision of Venetian poise and elegance where the formal table for 12, perfectly attired in custom-made Chiarastella Cattana linens, requests the pleasure of your company within the rich deep red walls boasting graceful gilded sconces and a ‘capriccio’ of carved wooden Roman churches collected during family travels to Marrakech

• The breakfast room beyond seats 8 and is perfect for more informal dining and light snacking during your stay, while adjoining it lies…

• The beautifully designed deluxe contemporary-style kitchen where bespoke brushed oak units, smart matt black marble work surfaces plus a central free-standing wooden butcher’s block sit alongside a major discovery within the palazzo - an original 15th-century fireplace lain hidden for centuries and uncovered to the delight of all during the apartment’s restoration (an amazing find now protected and displayed for posterity behind a transparent screen). There’s a professional Viking double oven with 8 gas burner hob for aspiring chefs – or, if you prefer, our own in-house chef – an American-style fridge freezer with ice machine for keeping those cocktails nicely chilled, as well as further appliances by Miele

• At the rear of the piano nobile lies an additional sitting room overlooking the lush and leafy west-facing garden (a grassy inner-sanctum in a watery Venice) and a classic, cosy counterpoint to the more formal salone

• To one side lies the double master bedroom with a romantic four poster king size bed in a soothing blend of soft Wedgewood blues and milky whites with ruby red and velvet button back chaise-longue and a luxurious en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over

• And to the other, the equally lovely 2nd double bedroom in a fanciful bird and blossom print with a tester style king size bed and a luxurious en suite bathroom with shower

Calm, welcoming and supremely relaxing, both bedrooms also overlook the garden

• To the centre of the apartment are 2 further bedrooms – a double and a twin

The 1st understated and gorgeous in delicate dusky pinks and ivories with a king size bed and an en suite bathroom with beautifully tiled shower, and the 2nd, a Marco Polo fantasy of oriental Toile de Jouy, objet d’art and Chinese blues and lacquer reds in which two single canopied beds sit beneath a pretty vaulted ceiling and off which is a ‘secret’ corridor leading to its own private luxury bathroom with twin sinks, bathtub with shower over

• Near the kitchen is a further bathroom with shower while completing the accommodation (and accessed via a staircase from the kitchen) is a self-contained mezzanine suite – simply furnished with a single bed and with a separate spacious bathroom with shower

All bathrooms are fitted with soft lights, quality fittings and white Egyptian stone and boast deluxe Cattana bathroom linen, luxury soaps… and excellent water pressure!
