Ca' Del Monastero 1 Collection with Balcony Venice - Apartment

Introducing the very special Ca’ Del Monastero – a fine antique residence comprising nine superbly restored apartments of varying sizes (including Ca’ Del Monastero 2 – see its dedicated section below), situated within what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Zan Degolà, one of Venice’s oldest churches, just moments from the Grand Canal in the charming district of Santa Croce.

Enjoying an atmosphere of calm serenity in what must surely be one of Venice’s most evocative and unspoilt neighbourhoods – indeed a step back in time – the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments offer spacious and beautifully presented accommodation for small and medium-sized parties, or up to 38 guests when several apartments are reserved together.*
No expense has been spared in the recent restoration of this remarkable residence.

Carefully coordinated contemporary furnishings and soft neutral tones blend seamlessly with traditional Venetian architectural elements, including polished red marble flooring, exposed wooden beams and elegant proportions. Stylish high-specification fittings, textured resin walls and refined finishes lend a fresh and sophisticated character to the building’s historic framework.

Enhanced by a range of modern comforts demanded by today’s discerning traveller – including air-conditioning**, Wi-Fi internet connection and communal utility facilities – the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments provide the perfect base for discovering the authentic heart and soul of Venice while enjoying all the comforts of contemporary city living.

Ca’ Del Monastero 2

Elegant, bright and wonderfully spacious, Ca’ Del Monastero 2 is a refined two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment overlooking the historic buildings of the Natural History Museum at the Fondaco dei Turchi, offering stylish accommodation for up to four guests in one of Venice’s most authentic residential quarters.
Situated on the first floor of the residence and easily reached by lift or stairs, the apartment combines generous proportions with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rich red marble flooring, lofty ceilings and large windows create an immediate sense of space and light throughout.

At the heart of the apartment lies a beautifully presented open-plan living and dining room. Featuring an ornamental fireplace (not in use), a comfortable lounge area and an elegant dining table seating four, it provides the perfect setting for relaxing after a day spent exploring Venice’s hidden corners and famous landmarks.
Adjacent to the living area is the fully fitted kitchen and breakfast room, thoughtfully designed with modern appliances and a cosy dining space for informal meals, morning coffee or a leisurely breakfast before heading out into the city.

The accommodation is arranged around two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom enjoys generous natural light and elegant furnishings, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Its contemporary en-suite bathroom is finished to a high standard and features a large walk-in shower.

The second bedroom is furnished with twin beds and enjoys equally pleasant proportions, making it ideal for friends, children or additional family members. A second modern bathroom, also with a large shower, is conveniently located nearby.
With its combination of comfort, elegance and an enviable position overlooking one of Venice’s most historic institutions, Ca’ Del Monastero 2 offers a relaxing and authentic Venetian experience in a setting rich in character and local charm.

Our Comment

Style, comfort and history beautifully combined in an area brimming with genuine Venetian character.
Within easy walking distance of Venice’s Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma if travelling light, and even closer to the vaporetto (waterbus) stops at Riva di Biasio and San Stae on the Grand Canal for effortless travel around the city.

And so much to see and do right on your doorstep...
Just moments from Campo San Giacomo dell’Orio, one of Venice’s most charming and authentic tree-lined squares, home to a well-stocked Coop supermarket, local shops and a lively neighbourhood atmosphere, and only a short stroll from a Conad supermarket on the Rio Marin canal.

Close to a wonderful selection of cafés, wine bars and restaurants including All’Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta, and within minutes of the Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, Palazzo Mocenigo (Museum of Textiles, Costumes and Perfume) and the Fondazione Prada at Ca’ Corner della Regina.

A leisurely walk leads to the magnificent Basilica dei Frari, home to Canova’s extraordinary marble tomb and Titian’s celebrated masterpiece The Assumption, as well as the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with its breathtaking Tintoretto cycle, the grand palazzi of Campo San Polo, and the culinary delights and vibrant atmosphere of the Rialto district.

A perennial VOV favourite that just gets better with age!

Matured like a fine wine to be sipped and savoured by its guests and ravishingly renovated in late 2019 to maintain (and exceed!) the high standards expected during your stay, the charming Ca’ Belle Arti sits on the 1st floor of a little ‘casa’ in the heart of Dorsoduro beside the tranquil Campo Sant’ Agnese.

Within minutes of the Accademia Bridge/Galleries, the Palazzo Cini Gallery and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and just a few steps (via a short ‘sotoportego’) to the stunning Zattere promenade along the glittering Giudecca Canal, this evergreen apartment boasts 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, plus Wi-Fi and air-conditioning to keep you connected, comfy and cool.

Welcoming in ambience, timeless in decor and putting relaxation at the heart of the house, the ‘sleeps 4’ Ca’ Belle Arti is both cosy and stylish and comprises:

Ground floor

• A private front entrance leading directly into the apartment’s vestibule hallway with a handy laundry room equipped with a washing machine situated to the rear.

A short staircase rising up to the 1st (main) floor, where you’ll find:

• Attractively presented in co-ordinated neutral colours, a splendid open-plan main sitting room/kitchen/dining area offering plenty of space for everyone to be together and showcasing characterful wooden beams overhead, a pair of tall windows to the fore letting in plenty of light with custom-built cabinetry beneath, a series of sepia architectural wall-prints set above a squishy sofa and double sofa bed furnished with cushions galore, a compact yet fully-fitted kitchen with all the necessary appliances for easy self-catering, and a dining space with ample seating as part of the kitchen.
And just to the side of the main room:

• A bright and elegantly presented master bedroom with a tall beamed ceiling, a pair of windows facing the campo, warm wooden flooring underfoot to match that of the sitting room, a walk-in wardrobe, a comfortable double bed (which can be made into twins upon request) and an en suite bathroom with modern shower.

While tucked away peacefully to the rear of Ca’ Belle Arti sits:

• The masterfully upgraded 2nd bedroom ¬– more ‘bijou’ than the master – charmingly decked out in restful eau-de-nil and furnished with a custom-built single wardrobe to each side of its well-dressed double bed.

And completing the accommodation towards the centre of the apartment:

• Ca’ Belle Arti’s 2nd bathroom with modern fittings and a bathtub with shower over.

OUR COMMENT

A much-loved apartment with a very loyal following, newly renovated and peacefully placed in one of Venice’s most select residential locales (and situated right at the foot of the sleepy little calle where, in a scene from the classic 1955 must-watch David Lean film ‘Summertime’, Katharine Hepburn and her street urchin companion laugh as they cool themselves down in the waters of the neighbourhood fountain!)

Close to the Church of the Gesuati (Santa Maria del Rosario), the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute, the Punta Della Dogana Museum of Contemporary Art and to a great choice of eating places including the well-reviewed Ristorante Agli Alboretti approaching the Accademia Bridge via the avenue of Oleander that is the Rio Tera Foscarini; the famous gelataria Da Nico; the popular and long-standing Trattoria Ai Cugnai and Corner Pub; the Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi - Al Bottegon (both perfect for spritz and ‘cicheti’); the upscale Ai Gondolieri behind the Guggenheim and the equally upscale Ristorante Riviera overlooking the Zattere; or for something simpler, Oke with its mind-boggling variety of eat-in or takeaway pizza.
Also within a short canal-side walk of the well-stocked Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere for all your self-catering needs, and minutes to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops – ‘Zattere’ to the south and ‘Accademia’ to the north – plus only 1 minute to the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.

For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.
