Grand Canal Dorsoduro

Full Description

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. Featured in Our Eight New Sensational Apartments in Venice, this apartment is one of our favourite bases for experiencing the magic of Venice.

Please note: The apartment can be let with 4 or 6 bedrooms – more information on request.
