Palazzo Angelo Rialto Luxury Apartment Venice - Apartment

Ring the bell for ‘Curtain Up’ at Ca’ Dell’ Opera Terrace– a tale of transformation from ugly duckling to swan

Lavishly and luxuriously renovated to the same exceptional standards as those offered by our spectacular Grand Canal palazzi and piano nobile properties, and welcoming guests with a comforting sense of warmth and intimacy in tune with its rather cosier yet still more than ample proportions, VOV is delighted to bring you this showstopping new apartment.

Brimming with character and showcasing the fruits of yet another supremely successful creative collaboration between Views on Venice and trusted architect and interior design company Archflorence, Ca’ Dell’ Opera stands proud alongside Ca’ Del Teatro, Ca’ Cerchieri Loredan, Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo, Ca' Della Luce, La Marchesa and Gondolieri in an innovative and highly regarded line-up of VOV - owned and completely restored apartments – individually designed with refinement and taste to elevate them all to the very top of their league, and marrying Venetian spirit and understated glamour with flawlessly executed Florentine flair.

Named and beautifully decorated (though somewhat less ostentatiously!) in homage to the magical jewel-like opera houses of Venice – the Malibran, the Goldoni and, of course, La Fenice – and in memory of those theatres that have long disappeared, Ca’ Dell’ Opera has 4 bedrooms/4 bathrooms and is charmingly located in peaceful Campo degli Incurabili, Dorsoduro, close to the Accademia Galleries and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and steps from the Zattere with its spectacular views.

Sleeping 8 (+1) in a relaxed atmosphere of quiet affluence and comfortable living, the fully air-conditioned* apartment is spread over 3 levels and impeccably presented from top-to-toe in bespoke soft furnishings and custom-built fittings all unique to Ca’ Dell’ Opera.

Important: please note that the apartment only accepts fully supervised children over 6 years of age or under 1 year (non-walking babies) because of the internal stairs and ‘altana’ rooftop terrace.

Generous as well as flexible in terms of space, and boasting a new and truly wonderful furnished ‘altana’ rooftop terrace offering splendid views across rooftops towards St. Mark’s Campanile, Salute and more, accommodation comprises:

Ground floor

• A main entrance hallway leading to a beamed double bedroom with twin beds, gothic-inspired mirrored wardrobe, terrazzo flooring and a smart en-suite bathroom with shower and deluxe fittings.

• A handy utility room with combined washer/dryer on the opposite side of the hallway, and a stairs rising to the level above.



First floor

• A delightful and wonderfully coordinated beamed sitting room in shades of deep duck egg blue with ruby red accents, a Juliet balcony, large L-shaped sofa, custom-designed carpeting and polished marmorino walls softly lit and hung with palazzo-style window-panelled mirrors – veramente delizioso!

• A well-equipped beamed kitchen/dining room – with integrated wine fridge/cooler and Miele oven – in dramatic red marmorino, with banquet seating, a dining table accommodating up to 10 guests, a Juliet balcony and terrazzo flooring.

• A pretty-as-a-picture beamed twin bedroom resembling a leafy garden arbor and with a Juliet balcony to the side. Exquisitely furnished in honey-colour hues with bespoke carpeting and Zoffany ‘Eleanora’ wallpaper as backdrop.

• A stylish beamed master bedroom in subtle olive-grey with double bed, mirrored wardrobe, bespoke carpeting and a splendid en-suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower.

• A separate bathroom with fabulously large shower and in similar style to the master’s en-suite.

Stairs to –

Second floor

• A wonderfully cosy penthouse suite with beams and parquet flooring, comprising a small sitting room/study/TV room-snug beautifully decorated (again in Zoffany!) and with a sofa (which can be turned into a single bed upon request); a charming double bedroom reached via a small dressing area; and a smart en-suite bathroom with dual-access and shower.

• Stairs (quite steep and with low/restricted headspace**) rising up to the new, furnished ‘altana’ rooftop terrace where you can while away the hours relaxing in the sun, all the time admiring the remarkable city vistas all around (** please be aware that, as a result, these stairs and access to the ‘altana’ may prove difficult for the elderly, children, or those with mobility issues)


OUR COMMENT

Elegance and comfort rolled into one, and one of our finest achievements to date!

A short stroll to the Church of the Salute and to the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art at Dorsoduro’s eastern tip, and close to a great choice of eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri, Lineadombra and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for spritz and cicheti.

An easy walk 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!), to 2 Conad supermarkets – one just behind the Zattere Spirito Santo vaporetto stop and the other at the western end of the Zattere – and 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 traghetto stop beside the Gritti Palace in the district of San Marco.

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

Without doubt one of our most ambitious and spectacular launches to date…

Drawing inspiration from 20 years of offering exceptional Venice rentals and hosting friends old and new from all four corners of the globe, it’s with heartfelt thanks to all the ‘pros’ making this recent mission possible that we roll out the red carpet for -

La Dimora di San Maurizio

Curated to captivate - and with stellar service for peace of mind…

An entire 5-STOREY VOV-OWNED PALACE cradling 4 apartments in one of the most prestigious locations in the San Marco sestiere

Restored by maestros in the art of reawakening tired spaces with the sympathy and respect such venerable buildings deserve, these lavishly appointed apartments boast fully bespoke interiors in a signature style much-admired for its vitality and verve

Poised prettily in pink opposite the Museum of Music in sunny Campo San Maurizio, between the cafés of Santo Stefano and the luxury boutiques nuzzling St. Mark’s Square, La Dimora’s apartments are of differing sizes and sleep 30 guests in total when reserved for exclusive use

Within a waltz of the world-famous La Fenice Opera House and the Gritti Palace’s Riva Lounge for glamorous Grand Canal-side drinks, all 4 air-conditioned*** apartments are accessible by lift and include -

La Dimora di San Maurizio 2 (sleeps 8)

Presenting ‘Opulence in Gemstone Colours’

A 4 double bedroom / 4 bathroom + 1 guest bathroom apartment

Boasting high-spec fittings and accoutrements and an ambience we know you’ll love…

Situated on the second floor served by lift and with a total of 8 tall arched windows to the fore overlooking the Campo towards the tipsily tilting bell tower of Santo Stefano - the palazzo’s most impressively proportioned apartment dressed in a kaleidoscope of gemstone hues and comprising:

• A superbly appointed sitting room in ruby and sky blue topaz with whitewashed wooden beams overhead, wooden flooring topped with Kilim underfoot and - taking pride of place - an unashamedly indulgent (and very large!) L-shaped sofa for chilling with your fellow guests and lazy lounging with a view

• A fully fitted kitchen/dining room (also to the front of the apartment) with integrated appliances plus a dining suite with inbuilt banquette and seating for 8 guests - note the decorative wall plates that bring to mind the pink flamingos that are known to frequent the shallows of the northern Venetian Lagoon…

• The apartment’s uber-plush master bedroom – facing the Campo and home to a gorgeous double bed* decked out in citrine, sapphire and peridot tones, Oriental-style lanterns to either side, a custom-made wardrobe plus its own sparklingly fresh hematite-grey bathroom with luxurious walk-in shower

• An equally impressive and very pretty second double bedroom - also front-facing and showcasing a double bed* with bespoke upholstery and fine linens, a mirror-fronted custom-made wardrobe plus a pristine separate bathroom of its own with meticulously tiled shower

• The apartment’s delightful third double bedroom peacefully situated to the rear of the palazzo and expertly furnished with a double bed* attired in beautifully coordinated shades set beneath a ceiling of whitewashed beams and benefitting from a separate walk-in dressing room (shared with the second bedroom) and its own en suite luxury bathroom with bathtub and shower over

• A fourth and final double bedroom - also positioned to the rear and home to a supremely elegant double bed* dressed for relaxation in amber and sapphire blue and with a fretwork-fronted wardrobe, writing desk and its own separate sparkling bathroom with bathtub and shower over

And completing the accommodation at the centre of ‘Dimora 2’ -

• A guest bathroom (loo and wash hand basin only) with Lewis & Woods ‘Womad’ wallpaper, mirror and soft lighting


* Note that all 4 double beds within the apartment can each be made into 2 singles upon request


** Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer three other deluxe apartments within La Dimora di San Maurizio: Apartment 1 / 3 / 4


OUR COMMENT

A ‘Flagship’ VOV palazzo designed by architects ArchFlorence joining La Marchesa, Ca’ Dell’ Opera, Gondolieri… et al!

Occupying a superb central location with an upmarket vibe – not too busy, not too quiet, and pivotal to all the sights

Beside the ‘Mercatino San Maurizio’ Antiques Market held on certain dates throughout the year and a short stroll to the Accademia Galleries just across the Accademia Bridge, to 3 vaporetto (water-bus) stops – Accademia, Giglio and Sant’ Angelo – for easy travel about town, and to the traditional Traghetto at Santa Maria Del Giglio ferrying passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the laid-back and very beautiful Dorsoduro sestiere
