Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’ve always wondered what it must have been like to live in Venice as one of the finest families under the rule of the Doge, this apartment is the holiday home for you. It sits in Fondamenta San Giacomo in Guidecca and boasts incredible panoramic views of Venice, with an interior that’s a marvel. You’ll find ceiling frescoes and tapestries, in addition to a stunning Murano chandelier in the living room. Every nook and cranny has a curio to admire, or artwork to behold. From the glass writing desk, you can see the lagoon below – just imagine how many stories this home has inspired over the years. The view takes in Canal della Guidecca, San Marco and over to the Doge’s Palace and beyond, from the charmed position of the authentically Venetian neighbourhood of Guidecca. You won’t be overrun by tourist groups – it’s a local’s area, with food shops and top-notch restaurants on your doorstep. When you’re ready to see the sights, you need only hop onto a Vaporetto from the stop 30m from the apartment. Mere moments later you’ll be sipping coffee in Piazza San Marco, or strolling over the Academia Bridge to take in that... postcard-worthy view. Wander the narrow streets with a gelato while you ponder where to dine, or shop for jewellery on the Rialto Bridge. You can meander back to the apartment in less than thirty minutes, ready to breathe in the views again.
