Picture a palace....a bohemian beauty, lavish in luxury and whispering privilege. Now pass through its doors and embark on a journey through richness and opulence, true comfort and style. 

Occupying the top two floors to the rear of the 16th Century 'Palazzo Corner Gheltoff Alvera' in the hushed and genteel San Samuele parish of San Marco, Ca' Dei Colori 2 ('House of Colours') sleeps seven in accommodation which is as special as it is refined.

Reached via the Palazzo's private water entrance on the Grand Canal (if arriving by water taxi) or via its delightfully leafy private garden with ancient well-heads if on foot, the apartment combines imagination and great taste with magnificent artistry and skilled craftsmanship all blending together to create a feast for the eyes and a joy for the senses. 

Rewarding guests with delightful discoveries at every turn and conjuring up the elegance of past times and an atmosphere conducive to pleasure, Ca' Dei Colori 2 (accessed by lift to the 4th floor) features well-proportioned living space and the latest facilities (including air-conditioning, internet connection and maid service on request).

Accommodation comprises a bright and airy living room with traditional terrazzo flooring, fine textiles and period furnishings, a beautifully decorated beamed ceiling, deep velvet sofas and windows opening onto a wonderful furnished terrace with a fantastic view over the rooftops towards San Marco, Salute, the Fenice and the famously leaning campanile of Santo Stefano.

Just off the living room is the 'Fenice' double bedroom - comfortable, elegantly decorated and with twin beds (which can be made into a double on request) and its own en suite bathroom with marble lined shower, and closeby, a charming dining room hung with portraits and furnished with antiques.

The kitchen is well-equipped with all the necessary appliances, while to one side, is a dual level 'Loft' bedroom with single sitting area and bathroom with bathtub below and a cosy yet stylish sleeping area with luxurious double bed on the mezzanine level.

A staircase from the 4th floor takes guests upstairs to a splendid triple bedroom with low and impressively beamed ceiling, strikingly painted wooden flooring and three single beds (two of which can be prepared as a double). An en suite bathroom with bathtub completes the accommodation.

RATES ARE UPON REQUEST ONLY. PLEASE CONTACT f.gaggia@viewsonvenice.com.
