LUXURIOUS PALAZZINA / art foundation

CAMPO SAN POLO (ve231)

An absolutely divine 14th century property tucked away at the edge of Campo San Polo with a  private Gothic cortile, water access, and commanding views of the beautiful Campo from the front balcony as well as over  the exquisite Palazzo Albrizzi garden across a canal at the rear. This property is perfect for anyone wishing to entertain in elegant surroundings yet retain for themselves a comfortable and stylish home.

The property is currently used as an Art Foundation, combining all of the original features with a contemporary overlay a very interesting and absolutely flexible use of space within a fabulous historic setting. See pictures of current use

This property (just under 600 sq.m.) really does have everything – moving up from the entrance staircase you enter a long high ceilinged gallery, light and well proportioned, off which is the main square drawing room.

Also from the gallery is access to the two main bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, one with a balcony overlooking the central gallery, a large and delightful kitchen, and access to the downstairs maid’s quarters. These areas form part of the ‘formal side’ of the house.

But, almost ‘Alice in Wonderland’ like, you go through a door into another world, a comfortable haven with a suite of three rooms, a large living room / formal dining room, a study, and an huge artist’s studio/ second sitting room, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom, and a private secondary exit on to the street entrance below.

The current owners subsequently purchased the mezzanino apartment (around 65 sq.m.) - it has one large room with a possibility of American kitchen, a double bedroom and bathroom. Gothic ceiling. Independent entrance from the courtyard.

There are also  two large magazzini for storage accessible from the cortile, as well as the boat entrance for secret arrivals and departures........

This must really be everyone’s dream! The whole property is quiet, discreet and elegant....

Currently used as a fantastic art space by a Foundation, it can easily return to its initial use as an important private residence.
