Overview

City Homes & Apartments

Tucked away in Dorsoduro, one of the six districts of Venice, in the southern part of the city is the spectacular Casa Dorsoduro. The whole area is known for its artistic and cultural character and is home to several noteworthy attractions, including Gallerie dell'Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Picturesque canals, charming squares, and an artistic and vibrant atmosphere make this an ideal location. 

This exceptional property is a short stroll from the Rio delle Romite canal and boasts three double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a lush and verdant walled garden. Recently renovated, Casa Dorsoduro is fabulously decorated with an imaginative high-end interior that blends traditional pieces, object d'art and a modern contemporary vibe.

Starting on the ground floor entrance hall, you will find yourself in a bright, light, and utterly delightful open-plan living area. High ceilings and arched French doors enable the room to be bathed in light. Oozing with style and antiques, the sitting area boasts a cool stone floor and a large, comfortable L-shaped sofa with two funky velvet tub-style chairs. The perfect place to chill! A rare and spectacular 19th-century French Pampille crystal chandelier complements a wall-sized handmade mirror with an antique finish by Ongaro e Fuga.

Beautiful arch-headed French doors lead to a charming wooden decked internal courtyard shaded by fabric 'sails'. Tastefully equipped with cushioned seating and doubling up as an 'al fresco' lounge area when the weather is fine. The dining area is both stylish and modern and is furnished with a contemporary dining table that comfortably seats six people and is lit but another Pampille chandelier.

An arched glazed door leads to the fantastic walled garden. Venetian hand-blown lanterns light a paved terrace/loggia at night for memorable romantic dinners beneath the stars. The freshly planted flower borders that border the traditional herringbone paving together with a charming 'vera da Pozzo wellhead that would have provided water in days gone by, to a further decked terrace with sun loungers create a unique and inviting oasis of calm.

The fully equipped kitchen is spacious and modern, with wall-to-ceiling fitted units and plenty of sparkling marble workspace to create the simplest breakfasts to the most gourmet dinners. Finally, on this floor is a spacious contemporary bathroom fitted with high-end polished marble, a wet room style walk-in shower with a refreshing rainfall shower head, and a marble vanity unit with a basin and WC.

An impressive stone staircase will take you to the first floor, where you will find three double bedrooms with traditional terrazzo flooring and whitewashed beams overhead. The ensuite master bedroom is tastefully decorated in soothing tones of pink and grey. It boasts a comfortable double bed, a Les Dominotiers Sovana Grisaille bespoke panoramic mural from the long-established Luise Parati of Padua. The ensuite bathroom is both spacious and striking in grey and white marble; it features a walk-in shower with a refreshing rainfall shower head, a vanity unit with a basin and WC.  

Bedroom two has charming views of the garden and is decorated in vibrant tones of pink, turquoise and mustard with wallpaper from the Japanese Khroma Kimono Collect by Masureel. It is equipped with a double bed, antique console table, and access to bathroom three.

Bedroom three is compact, but the bijou overlooks the internal courtyard, is dramatically decorated in a teal colour, and features Midnight Walk wallpaper from Caselio. It is equipped with a small double bed, armchair and built-in wardrobes.  
Bathroom three is shared by Bedrooms two and three and is well equipped with a marbled walk-in shower, vanity unit, basin, and WC.

Casa Dorsoduro is just a short stroll to San Trovaso, one of the remaining gondola workshops. In this workshop, skilled artisans still craft gondolas and other traditional Venetian boats using age-old techniques, keeping the city's maritime traditions alive. It's a fascinating place to visit if you're interested in the unique artisanry and culture of Venice's boatbuilding heritage.

Also within walking distance are the Campo San Barnaba, the Accademia Bridge and galleries. The Ca' Rezzonico Museum is a must-visit attraction in Venice for anyone interested in the art and culture of the 18th century. Housed in a magnificent 18th-century palace overlooking the Grand Canal, the museum offers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Venice's aristocracy during that era. Inside, you'll find a stunning collection of period furniture, paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the time. It's a fascinating journey through the history and artistic achievements of 18th-century Venice, making it a favourite destination for history enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

One must-see attraction is the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, dedicated to showcasing the impressive collection of modern art amassed by an influential American art collector. Housed in her former residence, the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, the collection features a remarkable array of 20th-century European and American art with works by prominent artists such as Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Jackson Pollock.

Eating out is a breeze in Venice, and Casa Dorsoduro is close to a variety of fine restaurants and bars, including Locanda Montin and Cantine del Vino Gia Schiavi, a favourite with the locals and home to some of the Cicchetti in town! If you prefer to cook for yourselves, it is a short waterside walk to the well-stocked Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere, and four waterbus stops for easy travel around the city.  

Venice is easy to explore thanks to its unique canal network. The absence of cars and roads makes for a pedestrian-friendly city, and its primary modes of transport are walking and water-based options. Being a compact city, walking is probably the best way to explore, and many main attractions are within a reasonable walking distance. Imagine how charming it is to wander through narrow alleyways and across picturesque bridges.
