An elegant luxe palazzo apartment in a discreet San Marco location close to the Grand Canal
An elegant luxe palazzo apartment in a discreet San Marco location close to the Grand Canal
The apartment is on the original piano nobile of a palazzo with a divine portico and courtyard with original well. The palazzo has a water gate. There is a choice of either the covered ancient staricase or a super modern lift to access the 1st floor.
The main living room is stunning, with 5m high ceilings, huge windows overlooking a charming canal, and a tucked away kitchen area both stylish and practical, fitting the room beautifully. The huge classic mirror is actually a tv, while all fabrics and furniture throughout are bespoke from Rubelli. Terrazzo flooring with underfloor heating is a dream
The master bedroom, also with a stunning mirror/ tv screen, is beyond luxe, with a superb king size bed, gorgeous mink leather covered furniture, and an en suite shower room in Carrara marble with top fitments
The second bedroom is furnished in similar style and has an adjoining superb bathroom, also in white Carrara marble and fabulous shower.
Everything in this apartment has been chosen by these careful owners to the highest specification, and yet it is also the perfect pied-a-terre for relaxing living
San Marco
This is the historical centre of the town with Piazza San Marco at its very heart and with Venice’s most coveted museums: Palazzo Ducale and Museo Correr. The buildings in this area of town are all on a fabulously grand scale. You will find most of the designer shops and luxury brands around here, including a number of fine jewellers and designers hidden among the colonnades of the piazza itself. The best time to visit is in the evening when the sun sets over the curved domes of St. Mark’s Basilica and live music sweeps across the piazza, defined by Napoleon as the “finest drawing room in Europe”.
