Description
‘And silent rows the songless gondolier’ – Lord Byron
And awaiting your arrival… the sublime ‘Gondolieri’
Ushering in one of VOV’s most ambitious and successful restorations to date and raising the quality of our portfolio to unprecedented heights, we proudly embrace new apartment ‘Gondolieri’ and needless to say we’re delighted with our new recruit!
Perfectly placed for lovers of the ‘real Venice’ between Dorsoduro’s Guggenheim Collection and the waters of the Zattere promenade, this super-chic apartment with its sun-kissed southern aspect sleeps 6 guests in accommodation arranged over 2 floors.
A sumptuous retreat for hanging loose with your companions and a place where precious ‘me-time’ can come top of your list, Gondolieri’s deluxe interior is the last word in refinement and has every creature comfort ready and waiting to be enjoyed.
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 the culmination of the link-up between ace architects ArchFlorence and the team at VOV.
Fittings and furnishings are truly exquisite and will resonate with guests who are only used to the very best – from plush designer textiles, superb hand-crafted finishes and wonderful lighting in all the right places, to pristine new bathrooms, all mod cons in the kitchen and beds carefully chosen to promise a blissful night’s sleep – and all of this crowned with a very special ‘altana’ terrace offering views across rooftops to the Campanile at St. Mark’s.
Tasteful, original and flooded with light, this remarkable new 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
First floor and 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 2nd 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
Second 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 3rd 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
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…
Are you part of a larger group who would like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer another apartment in this building: La Baruffa (with its own private garden!)
OUR COMMENT
A Venetian Golden Oldie becomes the Hip Kid in Town!
A wonderful new apartment (even though we say so ourselves ;), meticulously restored to provide the most pleasurable combination 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 and to 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 Rivierafor 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 S. 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.
*Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation. Generally, the heating works from middle of October to middle of April, while air conditioning works between middle of Aprile to middle of October. Please contact us for further information.
For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.

Excellent Stay in a Beautiful Part of Venice

The apartment was perfect for our family - 3 adults and 3 kids. It was well-equipped and clean. It's in a beautiful and quiet part of town, but very close to all the action. Would 100% stay again.

Loved the beauty of the fabrics used throughout the apartment. The rooftop or “Altana” was a wonderful way to relax at the end of the day . The location feels quiet and authentic.

One of the blinds was broken - didn’t really bother us but needs to be rectified. Altana was a highlight but difficult to get to if mobility a problem.

I would definitely book again with Venice Views - the service was first class. On our arrival in Venice - Marta was waiting for us with a very warm welcome. The Apartment was still being cleansed - so we went straight out - it would of being nice to arrive at the Apartment when it was all cleaned. But I totally understand it was early afternoon when we arrived. Venice Views made our stay in Venice excellent. Marta was very helpful with recommendation on Restaurants - etc. she was excellent. I look forward to our next visit to Venice and I will definitely book with Venice Views./, Kind regards.

We had a great experience with Marta and Views on Venice. Loved the apartment - it was perfect for 3 couples, beautifully decorated and maintained. Everything about it was great. Marta was very helpful, from arranging the beautiful flowers and champagne, to organizing a Murano expedition for my sister and brother-in-law. We also had recommended VoV to friends who joined us in Venice, and they were equally happy. You will remain our go-to source for great Venice apartments. Thank you so much!

Gondolieri is a truly wonderful apartment, beautifully decorated with all amenities you could wish for. My only negative comment is that the entrance is via a long flight of stairs, from ground level to the second floor (third floor for Americans). That proved a problem for me, but I cannot say enough good things about Views on Venice's assistance in relocating us. They made the process very smooth. We have already booked with them for our next Venice vacation.

We were a party of five and we spent a fabulous Christmas and New Year at the Gondolieri apartment. This apartment has been recently renovated to a very high standard with a great deal of thought to make it comfortable and easy to live in. It is stylishly decorated, good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen with Miele appliances. The lounge and dining room were well designed with plenty of room for us all. And importantly in the winter the heating was incredibly efficient making it very cosy. The apartment is in a very quiet part of Dorsodouro and one feels that this is the real Venice. The only sound was that of the church bells. The apartment is within minutes of the Accademia bridge, vaporetto stops and an easy walk to a well stocked supermarket. Location is fantastic. This was a home from home and a wonderful apartment to spend a family Christmas and New Year. Equally it will be lovely in the summer with a terrace overlooking the rooftops where we celebrated Christmas with a bottle of Prosecco on a sunny Christmas morning!

The ULTIMATE in refinement and elegant living, with views that must surely be second to none!
Directly overlooking St. Mark’s Basilica, St. Mark’s Square and the Campanile towering tall, it’s with barely contained excitement that we welcome Due Leoni…
… A property that made us all gasp in astonishment, to describe it as ‘stunning’ would be an understatement to say the least!
Hosting 6 astute guests in trip-of-a-lifetime surroundings and (almost!) rubbing shoulders with the Torre dell’ Orologio (Clock Tower) next door, the 4 bedroom Due Leoni is as rare as it is ravishing and is bright, uplifting and exceptional throughout.
Classically furnished with grace and panache and on the 4th floor served by lift, the air-conditioned* apartment boasts gorgeous wooden parquet flooring while its walls are adorned with period paintings and prints.
‘Take-your-breath-away-wonderful’ and including Wi-Fi, the accommodation comprises -
- An airy and spacious south-facing sitting / dining room with ample comfortable seating, a beautiful Aubusson-style rug, and an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling glazed doors opening directly onto the long furnished terrace overlooking the Basilica… take a browse through its photo gallery - need we say more!
- A cosy library / relaxation area with sofa to the side where the TV, though just the thing for chilling out during downtime, inevitably ‘plays second fiddle’ to the splendid vista outside
- A streamlined, modern galley-style kitchen - well-equipped and found just to the rear of the sitting room
- A quietly elegant master bedroom to the front of the apartment with a double bed and 3 floor-to-ceiling glazed doors opening onto the terrace enjoying eye-level views towards the Basilica’s famous bronze horses and extending down to the waters of the Bacino beside the Doge’s Palace
- A beautifully presented double bedroom to the rear with double bed and a few steps leading up to an en-suite bathroom with shower
- Two very pretty chintzy single bedrooms to the middle of the apartment (and on opposite sides), one with an en-suite bathroom with shower
- A separate bathroom with bathtub to the very rear of the property, & completing the apartment…
- A laundry room with combined washing machine/dryer, ideal for longer stays
* Present in all main rooms with the exception of the kitchen
Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation. Generally, the heating works from middle of October to middle of April, while air conditioning works between middle of Aprile to middle of October. Please contact us for further information.
OUR COMMENT
100% Chic and entirely unique - one of the most remarkable rental properties in Venice today.
Standing in the iconic beating heart of ‘La Serenissima’ - St. Mark’s Square - where, at night, the orchestras of the world-famous Gran Caffe Quadri and Caffe Florian conjure up a truly magical atmosphere (music is dependent on weather and season!), while the pink and white marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness.
A short stroll to the Rialto Bridge crossing the Grand Canal and within easy reach of 2 well-stocked supermarkets for all your self-catering requirements - one at Salizada San Lio and the other at Rialto - and to the vaporetto (water bus) stops at San Zaccaria and Vallaresso for simple and convenient travel around town.
For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.
Beds will be arranged as either doubles or twins as shown in the photos. The possibility of turning a double bed into twins or vice versa can be found in the description and must be requested at least 7 days before arrival.16 reviews -
AN ESTABLISHED STAR ON THE VENICE SCENE!
Taking centre stage amongst our expanding galaxy of fabulous properties - a splendid 3 bedroom/3 bathroom apartment with furnished 'altana' roof terrace offering exceptional accommodation and a carefully considered mélange of the very best in Italian styling, hand-crafted furnishings, classic simplicity and luxury fittings, all very much at home within the unquestionable charm and convenience of its central yet tranquil upmarket location.
Lovingly renovated under the watchful eye of an expert team, sleeping six and with an interior masterminded by highly respected Florentine architect and interior design company ‘ArchFlorence’ (experts with impeccable credentials, whose work graces some of Italy’s finest properties), the spacious air-conditioned apartment is on the 3rd and 4th floors and lies within the refined Venetian district of San Samuele, a central and genteel little oasis of art and antique galleries just off Campo Santo Stefano in the San Marco district of the city.
Named after the nearby former San Samuele Theatre where Casanova’s mother performed as an actress and moments from where he was born to become one of Venice’s most celebrated sons, Ca' Del Teatro has a large and impressive open plan living space combining sitting, dining and kitchen areas and featuring subtle and sophisticated colours, chic upholstery, all the latest appliances plus a modern open-sided staircase leading to a superb clear glass-sided landing overlooking the area below.
Magnificent weathered timbers given a rustic whitewash finish further emphasise the age, character and lofty proportions of the property while internet connection plus a washing machine allow for an eminently practical stay whatever the duration.
Also on this level are two gorgeous bedrooms - one in complementary shades of mocha and mulberry with double bed and mirrored wardrobe, the other a twin in lime and bitter chocolate and both with roomy and sumptuously appointed bathrooms (one with shower, the other with shower and bathtub). Move on upstairs to a further plush bedroom, this time in violet and lavender shades and featuring a richly button-backed French-size bed, moroccan style mirroring and an en suite shower room with w.c.
And to top it all beautifully, access to one of Ca’ Del Teatro’s stellar attractions - a super ‘altana’ roof terrace enjoying spectacular views towards the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and perched up on high for surveying the scene.
OUR COMMENT
A class act and fantastically positioned...
...within steps of a grocery store, a wine shop and a range of cafes/osterie.....plus the gallery of interior designer Chiarastella Cattana - a discreetly sophisticated showroom of fine and distinctively woven textiles and furnishings and, for scent-lovers, the Venice outlet of the famous Florentine ‘Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’ – one of the oldest pharmacies in the world and one time fragrance maker to Catherine de’ Medici.
Conveniently close to the vaporetto stops at San Samuele and Sant' Angelo for easy travel around the city, the 'Traghetto' gondola ferry which, during operating times, carries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal between Calle Del Tragheto (near Sant’ Angelo) and San Toma in the district of San Polo.
