About this property
Nestled in the enchanting and authentically Venetian Castello area, Palazzo Canaletto is a testament to Venice's rich history and timeless beauty. This splendid three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment, occupying the prestigious piano nobile of a historic palace, has been meticulously restored to offer the pinnacle of comfort and sophistication.
Upon entering Palazzo Canaletto, guests are greeted by original terrazzo floors that have gracefully endured the test of time. The stuccoed walls and frescoes, painstakingly restored to their early 1600s glory, exude an air of opulence that transports you to a bygone era when legends like Casanova and Friedrich Nietzsche may have graced these very halls.
The palazzo effortlessly combines history with modern luxury. Its pièce de résistance is a spacious canal-side terrace adorned with ample seating and captivating vistas. This alfresco haven is perfect for indulging in morning coffee or evening cocktails while basking in the beauty of Venice. However, one cannot overlook the private water gate, allowing guests to arrive in style via a mahogany water taxi. It's a Venice experience that oozes luxury and exclusivity.
Inside, the décor is a harmonious blend of period and contemporary pieces. Antique chandeliers and mirrors from Murano, France, and Italy mingle seamlessly with drapes by renowned Venetian textile designer Rubelli. The living room is an ode to elegance, with Liaigre sofas and striking artwork by French contemporary artists Nicolas Pol and Araso. The adjacent dining room, flanked by a modern kitchen with brass-clad cabinetry, boasts an antique oak dining table and an original credenza from the historic Rubelli Grand Canal showroom.
The media/library room offers the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation and culture. With convertible sofas by French designer Sarah Lavoine, custom bookshelves by Porte Italia, and a vast collection of musical CDs, it's a haven for audiophiles and bookworms.
The bedrooms at Palazzo Canaletto are equally lavish. The master bedroom, adorned with fully restored pastoral frescoes, features a bespoke king-size bed from Porta Italia and a master bathroom finished in beautiful dark striated marble. The Alcove bedroom, once occupied by Friedrich Nietzsche, showcases restored wood panelling and exquisite marble finishes in the shower room. The Green bedroom boasts an antique bureau from the Rubelli showroom and a freestanding bathtub, creating an oasis of indulgent relaxation.
The fully equipped kitchen, designed by Boffi, features marble countertops and top-of-the-line Miele appliances. The terrace, accessible from the media room, offers open canal views, high-end furnishings by Kettal, and a mesmerizing art-nouveau door by Murano artist Napoleone Martinuzzi.
