Venezia Diciassette

Beautifully designed, small 2 bedroom apartment in fantastic location.

Venice Apartment 4

The apartment is a unique example of Architectural and Interior Design located literally opposite to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, between the Zattere waterfront, the Accademia Bridge and the monumental Basilica della Salute, as a matter of fact in the most prestigious part of the Dorsoduro District.

In the surroundings you can find Punta della Dogana and the François Pinault Foundation, the Accademia Galleries and other world famous landmarks. Many Venice connoisseurs and influential artists bought their houses here as it is a picturesque, culturally interesting and quiet area of Venice.

The house is a very bright first floor apartment facing on a lovely Canal, newly restored with high-end materials and techniques, completely tailor made with the excellent style of the caring landlord who loves to spend time here on his holidays in Venice. The privileged guests will find an immaculate apartment, therefore they are kindly requested to take great care of it.

It is composed of a generous size living room equipped with a comfortable sofa, some Danish design chairs from mid-20th century and a rustic table for four people, a stunning and very functional designer kitchen, a cozy double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, a second small bedroom accessible from the mezzanine in the living room and a second bathroom with shower. Please note that the smaller bedroom is reached through a staircase, has 1,5 meter high ceilings and is open on the mezzanine (there isn’t a door).

The smart lay-out of the apartment has been studied to optimize the use of the 60 square meters available: especially the mezzanine made with steel, wood and glass is a great idea to create a cozy relaxing area and most importantly to give access to the second smaller bedroom located above the living room. The style of the furniture is decidedly industrial-vintage and modern-Scandinavian. The clever use of neutral bright colors on parquet flooring, antique brick walls and wooden beamed ceilings in combination with colorful and playful interior details results in a very pleasant environment, appealing especially to contemporary art lovers.

A special mention goes to the luxury bathrooms: the extra-large tiles give the feeling of a continuous surface interrupted only by elegant vanities and natural wood used for the counter tops, while the large mirrors reflect the minimal glass wall of the showers.

The amenities of this house include air conditioning in every room, Wi-Fi internet connection, washing machine, dishwasher, electric stoves, fridge with freezer, microwave, kettle, coffee maker and all other basic electrical appliances.

The apartment is perfect for a couple, but for short stays it is also suitable for up to 4 people, keeping in mind the limits of the second bedroom. It may not be suitable for families with small children, a the delicacy of the furniture and the open staircase without railing may create some problems. In summary it is a stylish and easy living sort of apartment with a welcoming atmosphere and a great Canal view!`

The Rental Fee is inclusive of sheets, towels and final cleaning.
