This amazing home is located over Venice’s Grand Canal, situated in a candy-pink Gothic ‘palazzetto’. Sharing this length of water with the sixteenth-century Palazzo Vendramin Calergi – which was the final home of composer Richard Wagner and now the Casino of Venice – this unique home offers incredible views of the waters from your living space and even one of the bedrooms, so you can start every day with that beautiful picture. You will enter the home via a private entrance on the Campiello del Remer – Little Square of the Rower – which is hidden from the hubbub of San Leonardo but close enough to the action to experience everything Venice has to offer. Your living space offers comfortable sofas with a view out to the Canal below. Plus, the partially-covered south-facing terrace features a bistro table where you can sip your morning espresso or enjoy an authentic gelato overlooking the glittering waters of the Grand Canal, and admiring the vista which extends from Ferrovia, the Scalzi and the Church of San Geremia to the right, across to the Fondaco Dei Turchi – Venice’s Natural History Museum – and to the Rialto to the left. Stroll to the Jewish Ghetto... – just a five-minute walk away – with its towering buildings, museum and rich history, or join the bustle of Rio Terà San Leonardo – just two minutes away on foot – where you will find plenty of shops and food stalls. Plus, from here you will also be able to see the Ponte delle Guglie, a historical canal bridge guarded by gargoyles. For gondola rides, we recommend walking seven minutes to Cannaregio Canal – where there are plenty of boats to hop onto – and enjoying a trip down a different stretch of waters than the ones you’ve been admiring every morning. With sublime views and a central location that is within walking distance of Venice’s sights, this home offers it all.

About Cannaregio
Cannaregio is historically the Jewish quarter of Venice. The tall buildings in Campo del Ghetto Nuovo were built in the seventeenth century to house the Jewish Venetians who were forced into the area. These days, it’s generally less crowded and has more of a traditional, laid-back feel to it, far removed from the tourist thoroughfares south of the Grand Canal. Venice's dwindling population is a well-known problem, but here you...
