Zattere Design apartments in top location

These are my dream apartments - the main waterfront apartment overlooks the Giudecca Canal in a great location on the Zattere with commanding views over towards Fortuny, with a panoramic water vista from all three main rooms - a large master bedroom with separate dressing room, well proportioned central living space, and a very stylish kitchen with all top appliances (Miele etc).

The slightly smaller apartment is west facing with amazing views and beautiful sunsets, and has a good living area on two levels, 2 bedrooms (1 double, 1 single), a main bathroom as well as a guest wc.

Both apartments are full of interesting 70s design features in a stunning contemporary treatment, with flexible accommodation and space. West facing windows bring in wonderful light to the rear apartment until the sun finally sets.

They occupy the whole of the third floor with that all-essential lift.

The apartments can also be easily re-figured as one large space. Many design features and details in this chic designer pad from this stylish owner, with oodles of storage space, secret cupboards and drawers - all bespoke design. The location couldn't be better, with excellent transport links, lovely pavement cafés and with direct access to all the interesting places that Dorsoduro has to offer, while having a real holiday vibe. Perfect also for tourist rental.   

Dorsoduro

This sestiere is regarded as the Mayfair of Venice: quiet yet brimming with things to see, from the Guggenheim Museum with its delightful, leafy gardens and exquisitely curated collection of modern art, to the Punta Della Dogana, a sensational collection of contemporary art in the old customs building, recently restored by Tadao Ando, to the Accademia Galleries. Snaking along the berst part of the Grand Canal, you will find charming palazzi - some grand and opulent, others on a pleasingly human scale. Take a short stroll from the Accademia Bridge to the Zattere for a long canalside ‘passeggiata’ or to Campo Santa Margherita, where locals gather to catch up with friends to enjoy the night air... Perfect for an evening spritz before dinner, or a nightcap before walking home.
