About this property

Located in the picturesque and authentic Venetian area of Castello, the luxury apartment to rent is just a 7 minute walk from the Rialto Fish and Vegetable market, a 10 minute walk from the Biennale, and 25 minutes from Piazza San Marco. It offers the perfect stay for those seeking an experience in the luxury of a classic Venetian palace, featuring both antiques and an eclectic mix of contemporary furniture and amazing artwork.

A highly decorative apartment rental on the piano nobile of a Palazzo, the interiors have recently restored to their original state, including the terrazzo floors and magnificent stuccoed walls and frescoes. Friedrich Nietzche once resided in this beautiful Venetian palazzo, and wrote several books here. The large library in one of the bedrooms plays tribute to him. The mix of period and contemporary pieces include antique chandeliers and mirrors from Murano, France and Italy, and curtains by the Venetian textile-designer Rubelli. A cosy and relaxing media room/library features ultra-modern audio-visual equipment and a vast collection of musical CDs, and also access to the terrace.

Offering history, beautiful views, a large canal-side terrace with ample seating room, and a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathrooms, this very special apartment rental in Venice also has a private water gate, where guests can arrive on the property's private mahogany water taxi.
