Casa Dorsoduro

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.
