Venezia Quindici

Very sophisticated, large 2 bedroom Venetian apartment located in a very quite area of San Polo.

Venice Apartment 4

This apartment is a newly listed and luxuriously renovated home with a peaceful garden view located next to Campo San Polo, a few steps from the Grand Canal.

The charming and authentic San Polo District is fortunately still underappreciated by mass tourism, therefore is the perfect location for those who prefer quietness and privacy against the hustle and bustle of the San Marco District. The Canova is surrounded by exquisite local restaurants, boutiques and artisan shops, yet tucked away from the crowd.

From this “Oasis of Peace” (as we call it) it takes about 6 minutes’ walk to reach the Rialto Bridge and about 10 minutes’ walk to reach the Car Park and the Train Station, while the public transport, stop San Tomà, is just 4 minutes walk away. The most exclusive way to access the apartment is by far by private water taxi that enables you to reach the Airport in only 25 minutes by pleasant ride through the lagoon.

The apartment is on the first floor(second American) and is laid out on about 150 square meters: a generous size for a 2 bedrooms apartment! Walking up the stairway that leads to the huge central living room, full of charm and history, you immediately understand the prestige of this property.

Original “Palladiana” flooring, antique exposed wooden trusses and super-high ceilings, original tall arched windows with peaceful views on private gardens, walls decorated with “Stucco Veneziano” in every room are some examples of the restoration performed by the caring landlady who really didn’t save on this project!

The uniqueness of this property is witnessed also by sophisticated Japanese style furniture, very comfortable sofas upholstered with soft and precious Oriental textiles, refined interior details and artworks, as well as high-tech appliances. There is an antique foldable dining table that can be extended for up to 8 people, a luxurious kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and a truly venetian gothic shaped window.

Not enough? The most remarkable part of the project in our opinion are the two king size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, located at opposite sides of the living room to guarantee total privacy, both with pleasant garden view and plenty of natural light, both with luxury en-suite bathroom. In particular the bathroom with great shower features and antique stone wash-basins, are quite unique.

The apartment is also very high tech: wide-screen TV with DVD player and docking system, air-conditioning in every room, Wi-Fi internet connection, smart lighting system, laundry room with washing machine and dryer, kitchen with induction plates, professional oven, large fridge with freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, etc.

This house is full of light all day and has everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. It truly makes you feel at home away from home! It is not recommended for families with small children as there are various fragile items in the apartment (glasses and antiques) and the open staircase is not suitable for children unless they are used to such stairs (please see the photographs of the stairs in the photo gallery).

The house is full of light during all day and has everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. It truly makes you feel at home away from home! It is not recommended for families with small children as there are various fragile items in the apartment (glasses and antiques) and the open space staircase is not suitable for children unless they are used to such stairs (please see the photographs of the stairs in the photo gallery).

The privileged guests of this apartment can take advantage of a five star maid service, waitressing and “Home Chef” service available on request. We suggest the Canova to extremely demanding travelers as we believe that few others in Venice guarantee such an exclusive stay. A 5 stars home for discerning travelers!

The Rental Fee is inclusive of sheets, towels and final cleaning. Smoking not permitted.
