Moorish in design yet Venetian in spirit, and entered by way of its own private doorway on the sleepy little Calle Navaro in the dreamily sedate district known as ‘Incurabili’, this pretty Venetian ‘casa’ is crowned with a very special ‘altana’ terrace offering views across rooftops to the Campanile at St. Mark’s.

Fittings and furnishings are truly exquisite and will resonate with guests only used to the very best – from plush designer textiles, superb hand-crafted finishes and wonderful lighting in all the right places, to pristine bathrooms, all mod-cons in the kitchen and beds carefully chosen to promise a blissful night’s sleep.

Recently restored, tasteful and flooded with light, this remarkable property offers Wi-Fi and air-conditioning throughout and comprises:

• An independent entrance and vestibule hallway on the ground floor with a staircase rising up to the apartment’s…

1^st Floor, home to –

• A bright and beautiful sitting room with elegant eau-de-nil ‘Venetian Marmorino’ polished plaster walls, ample seating, and whitewashed beams paired with whitewashed timber flooring
• A dining area just to the side seating up to 6 guests in stylishly upholstered chairs around a circular dining table beside a feature wall decorated in Cole & Son’s ‘Palm’ wall-covering
• A well-equipped and custom-built fully fitted kitchen in a bespoke teal green with travertine worktops and a Miele oven and fridge
• An exceptionally stylish beamed master bedroom resplendent in smart Tapet-Cafe ‘Deco Fan’ wallpaper and fabric, and with a double bed, a mirrored wardrobe, and its own bathroom with Bisazza mosaic, bathtub and shower over
• A sweet and very charming 2^nd bedroom in a powder-blue reminiscent of the hues of the Moroccan village of Chefchaouen near Tangier and furnished with a French size (small double) bed, a mirror-and-fretwork-fronted wardrobe, & with an en suite bathroom in mocha Marmorino with a shower encased in lapis and clay colour Moroccan-themed tiling
• A staircase with an attractive (and original) wrought-iron wooden-topped balustrade rising to the

2^nd Floor, where you’ll find –

• Decorated on a boating theme - a further spacious sitting / TV room beneath the eaves with a writing desk / study area and a super-large and comfortable double sofa-bed in smart herringbone upholstery
• Gondolieri’s 3^rd bedroom in a cheery tangerine orange with a well-dressed double bed (which can be split into twins upon your request) and a pair of fabric-lined wardrobes resting beneath ancient burnished timbers
• A further bathroom in blue Marmorino with bathtub and separate shower reached via a quaint little ‘bridge’ with balustrade crossing over the stairway below

And a few steps rising to the rooftop and to –

• The superb restored ‘altana’ terrace – fully furnished for relaxing after long walks about town and enjoying a glass of chilled Prosecco in the sun…

PROPERTY PRÉCIS

A Venetian Golden Oldie becomes the Hip Kid in town!

A wonderful apartment (even though we say so ourselves ;), meticulously restored to provide the most pleasurable combo of luxury and charm possible, and featuring fittings and furnishings carefully selected, designed and made-to- measure to make the surroundings and ambience as bright, cheerful (and as enjoyable!) as can be.

A short amble to the iconic Church of the Salute, the Accademia Galleries and Bridge (and the DIMORA ITALIA office!), the Palazzo Cini Gallery, plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art at Dorsoduro’s eastern tip, and close to a fine variety of eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for cicheti and spritz.

An easy waterside stroll to the Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere, to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia – for travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!), and also close to the traghetto at Calle Lanza / Calle del Traghetto San Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the district of San Marco.

Also within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
