Immerse yourself in all the splendour of Venice with a stay at this spectacular duplex apartment, located right on the Grand Canal. Situated within a beautiful sixteenth-century palazzo, this place emanates grandeur and timeless elegance, and while it has been thoroughly renovated, great care was taken to preserve all of its original features. The results are quite magnificent: find yourself surrounded by Renaissance details while at the same time enjoying all the comforts of modernity. Enter by the grand main entrance or directly from the canal if arriving by boat – even before stepping foot inside you’ll be dazzled by the imposing exterior. And it only gets better as you walk inside. Prepare to be wowed by the sheer scale of the first floor’s living areas, which include the grand salon, as well as a dining room, a library and TV room, and an additional reception room. This floor is all opulence, with original frescos on the ceilings, huge windows which overlook the Grand Canal, marble floors, and walls decorated with original paintings and awesome mirrors. Organise feasts with your loved ones or relax on one of the many plush sofas or armchairs. The state-of-the-art kitchen will inspire your inner... chef to create delicious meals, which can also be enjoyed on the terrace, with the glorious panorama before you. Head upstairs to a land of sweet dreams and sleek luxury, courtesy of the five stunning bedrooms, each featuring an ensuite bathroom. There is also another living area up here – in case you need some alone time or fancy a more intimate evening with your friends and some excellent Italian wine. Here's to an unforgettable stay in one of the most magical cities in the word.
