Ca' San Sebastiano - 288

>> View all photos

An outstanding apartment in a fabulous location (just off the Zattere) and justifiably one of our TOP properties, with great views over the ‘Rio De San Sebastiano’ canal - a riot of Venetian colour and character in the Dorsoduro district.

Totally renovated in 2008, Ca’ San Sebastiano’s position near the vaporetto stop of ‘San Basilio’ (with no bridges to cross in between!) allows for easy and hassle-free sightseeing while its closeness to the ‘Stazione Marittima’ makes it a perfect choice for a memorable stay in a truly authentic area of Venice if arriving or departing this port by cruise ship.

Successfully marrying the old and characterful with the lastest design concepts, Ca’ San Sebastiano’s spacious and beautifully decorated main living area features high ceilings, exposed beams, canal views, air-conditioning and internet connection. It comprises a sitting and dining area with plenty of comfortable seating plus a modern and well-equipped kitchen with cool terrazzo flooring, unusual polished plaster finishes and matt granite work surfaces all contributing to its smart and highly contemporary appeal.

The two bedrooms (also with canal views and quiet at night) are bright, sunny, fresh and appealing - a master with romantic 4-poster bed, air-conditioning and built-in wardrobe and a second bedroom with twin beds and ceiling fan. A bathroom with bathtub sits directly opposite the master bedroom while the second bathroom with shower and twin sinks, is en-suite to the twin bedroom for added privacy. Both bathrooms feature high quality fittings and beautiful coloured glass ‘tesserae’ mosaic, specially designed for the apartment.

OUR COMMENT

A true beauty of a property. Close to a supermarket and to good transport links and within easy reach of the Grand Canal yet tucked away from the tourist crowds in an area with a happy and very welcome liveliness all of its own, where locals meet daily to share a joke and to lunch and where family life flourishes against an extraordinary local backdrop. Bellissimo!
