Description
Chosen by Condé Nast Traveler as one of ‘The 36 Best Airbnbs Across Italy’ – July 23, 2021
‘Elegance is the only beauty that never fades’ - Audrey Hepburn
And beauty shines as bright as a Holly Golightly* smile at this one in a million ‘casa’ in the Dorsoduro sestiere
The former Venice home of legendary designer Hubert de Givenchy - founder of the iconic fashion house and master of chic - this exquisite palazzo apartment tells a story SO special and like his creations encapsulates a look that is consummately elegant and sleek
Paris runway-ready and crisply turned out in a style as relevant in the 2020s as it was back in the day, this exclusive made-to-measure property (a veritable name-dropper’s nirvana!) has been sensitively and luxuriously restored in the most sublime way
Owned before him by his good friend Susanna ‘Suni’ Agnelli (businesswoman, politician and sister of Gianni of Fiat fame), the fully air-conditioned** apartment is situated on the top 2 floors of the palazzo in a prime real estate setting close to the Salute and the Guggenheim
Preserving the precious design influences of its distinguished former owners and paying particular homage to Audrey Hepburn (Givenchy’s lifelong friend and muse who personally selected one of the fabrics that still embellishes walls today), this fashionista’s fairytale hosts 6 guests in 3 bedroomed accommodation comprising:
- The main palazzo entrance on the ‘fondamenta’ beside the Rio de Torreselle Canal which opens to reveal an impressive stone staircase rising to the apartment’s private entrance on the…
2nd Floor where we find
- A bright and elegantly understated sitting room / library in ‘ton sur ton’ whites – a restful reading room and fitting introduction to the apartment boasting finely crafted cabinetry, a comfortable sofa, soft lighting and a pair of windows overlooking the hidden green spaces of well-to-do and well-maintained neighbouring gardens
- The apartment’s strikingly spacious and utterly delicious master bedroom - a candied lemon confection richly enrobed from top to toe in Fortuny’s ‘Persiano Citron’ tapestry tastefully dotted with black & white photographs of Hubert and Audrey - wearing Givenchy, naturally - and showcasing white wooden flooring and tall windows dressed in the sumptuous ruffles of billowing festoon blinds, one of which is a beautiful Venetian gothic ogee-arched ‘bifora’ perfectly illustrating the palazzo’s 16th century roots
- A light and airy, all-white en suite bathroom - but not just any bathroom! – A wonderful space in its own right featuring marble flooring, a luxurious freestanding roll-top bathtub with central rain-shower above, and an inbuilt vanity unit to the side providing the ultimate opportunity for copious pampering and prepping for your very own Venice premiere!
- A narrow curved staircase lit by an extraordinary hand-blown Murano glass Barovier & Toso ‘Hanami’ suspended ceiling lamp drawing the eye upwards and connecting both levels
3rd Floor
- A romantic 2nd double bedroom named ‘The Audrey Hepburn Room’ - a ravishingly intimate haven as charming and graceful as the movie star herself - bedecked in Colefax & Fowler’s ‘Lincoln’ French tapestry personally chosen by Miss Hepburn and home to a double bed, a novel electronically automated cupboard and opulently draped windows framing a quintessentially Venetian view towards St. Mark’s Campanile and the domes of Santa Maria Della Salute
- A separate sparkling second bathroom to the side in dapple-grey marble with large shower
- A characterful 2nd sitting room revelling in its highly patterned appeal…
A symphony in Chinoiserie named ‘The Chinese Room’ thanks to Zoffany’s delightful ‘Emperor’s Musician’ tapestry adorning its walls, lampshades and luxurious corner sofa - and featuring a sloping beamed ceiling, painted wooden flooring, garden views beyond and a minaret-topped antique birdcage with one of its doors flung open wide to reveal a little flock of glass birds perfectly at home beneath the beams!
And moving on to one of the most innovative rooms in the house…
- Set beneath the eaves - the original, radiant, (and quite unexpected!) all-white kitchen / dining room
WAY ahead of its time and perfectly arranged to suit the way we like to cook and entertain today, the room houses a pair of long cantilevered dining tables running along its centre with rising and falling mechanisms designed by Fiat engineers (and now permanently set for your convenience), ample Corian worktops, a sink and stove (and more!) to either side, a walk-in fridge-freezer, plus all the mod-cons you’d expect of such a home!
And forming a semi-private suite at its farthest end…
- Petite in proportion but enormous in impact - a 3rd sitting room / luxury snug attired from head to foot in dapper nautical stripes with an all-embracing u-shaped sofa – once seated and relaxed you might never want to move!
- A 3rd double bedroom with a double bed beneath painted beams - fresh, bright and picked out in pretty raspberry hues - offering splendid views of the Rio de Torreselle Canal, Sansovino’s Palazzo Corner, Salute and the Campanile in the distance, and with its own pristine marble en suite bathroom with shower
And rising up from the kitchen we complete your virtual tour of the surprising secrets concealed within this 100% unique Venetian home with…
- A spectacular wooden furnished ‘altana’ rooftop terrace enjoying breathtaking views of Venetian roofscapes all around!
- Also note that the palazzo’s lush and well-tended lawned garden - shared with other palazzo residents and featuring climbing wisteria, small shrubs and a splendid holm oak tree - may be also be used by guests of La Casa di Hubert de Givenchy (however, kindly note that picnics, dining and sunbathing are not permitted :)
* The famous role Audrey Hepburn played in the 1961 film 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' in which she wore Givenchy’s now iconic ‘little black dress’
** Note that certain rooms have ceiling fans in addition to air-conditioning!
(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
An UNFORGETTABLE HOME alive with GLAMOUR OF GENTLER TIMES, EXPERTLY TAILORED and TENDERLY RESTORED to suit the most cultivated tastes
Within steps of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a short amble to the iconic Church of the Salute and to the Punta Della Dogana Centre 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 stunning Zattere promenade, 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 traghetto stop next to 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
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.

First, the apartment itself is fabulous! All the attention to detail made it feel like we were staying in a friend's home. Lovely at every turn. Being in the Dorsoduro district was convenient, but without all the crowds. We highly recommend this property. There were 3 couples and all of us had plenty of space to spread out and relax.

This is one of the best holiday rentals we have ever had. It is immaculate, it is perfect, it is heavenly. It is so beautifully decorated, no expense has been spared. The beds are supremely comfortable, it is quiet, peaceful.... the bathrooms are marble-clad and the showers are bliss. Amazing air conditioning means it is a cool respite from the humid hot city. The kitchen is kitted out with more than what a restaurant would offer. We ate breakfast every morning on the terrace, what a treat! The perfect location, easy to get to all the spots we wanted to visit. We dream of coming back and have already looked at the availability calendar for our next stay!

The bath takes a very long time to fill! And the water never got very hot for the bath. Apart from that, NOTHING ! We loved it all.

If you have ever dreamed of an idyllic holiday in a beautiful apartment in one of the world’s most romantic cities, then you should immediately book the Givenchy flat in Venice through VoV! Situated on the top two floors of a beautiful palazzo in the highly desirable Dorsoduro district, this stunning home was the pied à terre of one of the last century’s Fashion Geniuses. Each of the three bedrooms is beautifully decorated and is replete with mementoes of the Legend, as well as those of his Celebrated Muse, Audrey Hepburn. Moreover, the flat comes with a kitchen that will satisfy even the most demanding of chefs. From the multiple ovens and sinks, to the walk-in reefer, to the commercial ham slicer, there is everything to make even the most demanding of chefs happy. The bright and well-lit kitchen also includes ample space for eight hungry eaters ready for a five course meal, after which you can retire to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s on the large screen TV in the Drawing Roomto play a silly game in the beautiful Blue Sitting Room. A few minutes’ walk from the Ponte dell’ Accademia, and directly opposite the entrance to the Peggy Guggenheim museum, this flat is brilliantly situated to take advantage of all that Venice has to offer while providing a haven of tranquility in what can be a very bustling city.

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.

...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.
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.
