Grand Canal Dorsoduro

This magnificent luxury apartment to rent in Venice is regarded as one of the most beautiful and authentic rental properties. It is located on the second floor piano nobile (with lift access) of one of the most important palaces on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro, close to the Accademia bridge. Both the Accademia Art Gallery and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum are just a 3 minute walk away, and Pinault’s Punta della Dogana, a 10 minute walk. There is private water gate access to the property.

The luxury apartment to rent in Venice has undergone a very careful restoration aimed at preserving and enhancing the original features of its 18th century interior, including the exquisite Rococo and Neo-Classical stucco work depicting scenes from classical mythology. The grand salon on the piano nobile is furnished with original period pieces, including a grand piano, which belonged to Igor Stravinsky, who was many of the pianists who enjoyed playing it there. The dining area features an original wooden table, which can be extended to accommodate 18 for dinner. There is also a small dining room and both a main and second kitchen. Off the main salon is a large balcony, with wonderful views over the Grand Canal, and other important palaces, including Palazzo Barbaro and Palazzo Franchetti.

With six bedrooms and bathrooms, the master bedroom at the luxury apartment to rent in Venice is the Accademia bedroom, featuring three tall windows and a sitting area, overlooking the Grand Canal and the Accademia bridge.  The Empire bedroom features a queen-size bed, custom made to fit the antique Empire-style frame, and complemented by a period dresser, cupboard and matching nightstands. The large Baldacchino bedroom features a sitting area with antique bureau, high ceilings, and a magnificent canopied bed. It also provides access to the Mezzanino bedroom, a smaller double bedroom with queen-size bed (which can also be made up as twin beds), ideal for two children. The Faure suite has two bedrooms, one with a French bed, overlooking a courtyard, and one with a standard queen-size bed and Grand Canal views.
