We must have strolled past it a thousand times but little did we appreciate what lay behind its doors…
Nestling in secret behind the garden wall of Dorsoduro’s 15 th -century Gothic Palazzo Trevisan Degli Ulivi, we’re opening the doors to the pretty Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo directly on the ‘passeggiata’-popular Zattere canal-side promenade.
Named in keeping with the Palazzo and enjoying a much sought-after south-facing courtyard garden all of its own, the apartment is on the ground floor and allows 4 guests to luxuriate in air-conditioned luxury within what we think is a true jewel box of a property.
Surprisingly secluded yet prominently located near the Church of ‘I Gesuati’ in one of Venice’s most coveted and upmarket residential neighbourhoods, Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo is entered by way of an anonymous arched double doorway leading directly from the Zattere into its dainty secret garden - a paved and furnished haven set away from the madding crowd, where an ancient stone ‘vera da pozzo’ well-head rests in retirement amongst raised flower borders and established small trees… heavenly.
Furnished not as a simple rental apartment but first and foremost for the personal pleasure and occasional enjoyment of its charming owner, the accommodation is
adorable and comprises:
- An open plan main living area with 2 sets of glazed French doors opening onto the garden and bringing ‘the outside in’ during the summer and fine weather.
- Elegant, cosy and cosseting and framed by a ceiling of white painted beams, polished Marmorino walls and the most gorgeous Tuscan floor tiling we’ve seen for
quite some time, the room features a sprinkling of fine period pieces, original paintings, an immaculate all- white and well-equipped kitchen with an integrated
dining table for 4, and a luxuriously appointed sitting area with beautifully upholstered club chairs and sofa.
Wi-Fi and a utility room are there for you too, while sitting peacefully to the rear is:
- An attractive double bedroom with perfectly co-ordinated furnishings and a double bed (which can be made into twins – please let us know your preference
when booking)
Separated from the living area by a multi-paned window which can be curtained off for added privacy, the bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, Egyptian stone fittings and velvety sage green polished plaster walls, while just to the side of the living area sits the:
- Super-sweet master bedroom with built-in double bed, twin upholstered chairs, a splendid en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over, and wall-sized glazed French doors opening onto the garden and
mirroring Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo’s main entrance* beyond
* Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo’s main entrance (the grey arched double doorway) leading from its courtyard garden onto the Zattere promenade and Giudecca Canal is pictured open in the photographs to give an idea of the position, aspect and view outside the apartment but please note that this doorway is normally kept locked by guests for security

PROPERTY PRÉCIS
Bed down in the beauty of dreamy Dorsoduro… an exquisite and enchanting slice of Venice to yourself.
One step away from stunning canal views across to the island of Giudecca, and within minutes of the Accademia Bridge/Accademia Galleries and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection on Venice’s Grand Canal.
A short stroll to the Church of the Salute and to the Punta Della Dogana Museum of Contemporary Art at Dorsoduro’s Eastern tip, and close to a great choice of eating places and bars along, and close to, the Zattere, including the well-known gelataria ‘Da Nico’; ‘Osteria Al Squero’ and ‘Cantinone Gia Schiavi - Al Bottegon’ (perfect venues for a spritz and ‘cicheti’); ‘Lineadombra’ and ‘Ristorante Riviera’ for an evening of fine dining, or for something simpler, ‘Ae Oke’ with its mind-boggling array of eat-in or takeaway pizza (perhaps stopping at ‘El Chioschetto’ on the way!)
An easy walk to 2 Conad supermarkets – one at the western end of the Zattere and the other near the Zattere Santo Spirito vaporetto stop, and for Venice-lovers, within moments (via a short covered alleyway or ‘sottoportego’) of the sleepy calle near Campo Sant’ Agnese where, in a scene from the classic 1955 David Lean film ‘Summertime’, Katharine Hepburn and her street urchin companion laughingly cool themselves down in the waters of the neighbourhood fountain.
Very close (and with no bridges to cross) to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops for travel around the city – Zattere just beyond the apartment entrance and Accademia to the north – and to the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to
Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
