About this property
Nestled in the heart of Dorsoduro, one of Venice’s most artistic quarters, Casa Dorsoduro is a stylish retreat just moments from the Rio delle Romite canal. This beautifully restored home sleeps six across three double bedrooms and boasts a lush walled garden – a rare find in the city. Inside, the open-plan living space is bathed in natural light, with high ceilings, antique accents, and a striking French chandelier. French doors open onto a shaded courtyard and a tranquil garden, perfect for al fresco dining or a quiet read among the blooms.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are individually styled with bold wallpapers, terrazzo floors, and exposed beams. The master suite features a bespoke mural and a sleek marble ensuite, while the other two bedrooms share a chic bathroom with a walk-in shower. With its blend of Venetian charm and contemporary flair, Casa Dorsoduro offers a serene base for exploring the city’s cultural treasures.
Casa Dorsoduro is ideally placed for exploring Venice’s artisan heritage and cultural gems. Just a short stroll away is San Trovaso, one of the city’s last remaining gondola workshops, where skilled craftsmen still build traditional boats by hand. Nearby, you’ll find the charming Campo San Barnaba, the iconic Accademia Bridge, and the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum, a treasure trove of 18th-century art and aristocratic grandeur.
Art lovers will relish a visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, home to works by Picasso, Dali and Pollock, all housed in a former palazzo on the Grand Canal. Dining is a delight, with local favourites like Locanda Montin and Cantine del Vino Gia Schiavi just around the corner. For self-catering, the Zattere’s well-stocked Conad supermarket is a scenic walk away. With no cars and everything within easy reach, Venice is best explored on foot, a city made for wandering.
