Stunning Liberty villa in exceptional grounds
A classic Liberty villa in a quiet yet super central location with beautiful gardens and terraces
This is a wonderful example of an early 20th century classic Lido villa in Umbertino Liberty style, with around 750 mq of internal space over five floors and 1100 mq of divine Italianate gardens. At only 2/3 minutes from the private beach of the Des Bains as well as close to the private airport, bars restaurants and shops, this is a dream location while also being a very private house. It has been in the same family for over 100 years ... an amazing provenance.
The ground floor is semi raised (rialzato) in the usual villa style and has a large main entrance, a central salone with cassettone ceiling, elegant dining room, kitchen and further living room and service rooms, bathroom.
On the first floor there is a decorative reception room as well as a beautiful glassed in loggia, four bedrooms, bathroom, separate guest w.c.
The second floor has three bedrooms as well as a studio room leading on to the terrace, guest w.c.
Third floor tower with studio.
The formal gardens of around 1100mq surround the building and lead also to the water gate on the canal behind the villa. Boat mooring on application.
The huge basement (originally staff quarters) has all technical equpment/ wine cellar etc.
The perfect villa home for families at all times of the year.

What attracted us to this property 
When we view a new property we are focussing principally on our international clientele and their wish lists, for example historic features, outside space, water access, great views and light. Location is always a consideration, but if we find a truly unique property we may decide it's still worth a look whatever the area - Venice is so small really! The potential for restoration is often a plus, to achieve a truly personalised space. But at the end of the day we always ask ourselves this one deciding question: do we actually LIKE this property? If it ticks lots of boxes but doesn't feel right, we prefer not to take it on.
It's rare to find such a beautiful and iconic Lido villa of this type and in totally original condition. We loved it as soon as we stepped inside...
Location
Lido
In the 20s and 30s the Lido was the summer destination of the wealthy European establishment. Vestiges of its glorious past are still visible in the gorgeous Liberty villas dotting the island. In today’s age, the tourists who enjoy this great barrier island enclosing the lagoon and facing the Adriatic Sea are a bit less pretentious, nevertheless the Lido continues to be a fun and relaxing place to be, only 10 minutes from San Marco.
