Colleoni Terrace Venezia - Appartamento

NEW LISTING

A dream address for 4 guests boasting 2 terraces – and the perfect base for Venice-lovers who’ve been away for far too long!

Bathed in light atop a property on the Cannaregio / Castello border in a district where you can choose to be as busy or as laid-back as you please, we’re delighted to share the details of this peaceful 3rd floor penthouse between Santi Giovanni e Paolo and Campo Santa Maria Formosa.

Within easy reach of St. Mark’s Square and the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale (and where chatty locals going about their day seem to outnumber tourists who’ve lost their way!), this newly restored apartment features 2 quietly stylish bedrooms and all the accoutrements required for a perfect Venetian holiday.

Combining a creamy white colourway and contemporary furnishings with beautiful aged beams and warm timber flooring, its aesthetic is one of comfort, modern elegance and easy living, while its pair of gorgeous terraces add a fabulous ‘al fresco’ dimension to your stay.

Airy, cheerful and boasting rooftop views along the characterful street known as Barbaria de le Tole taking in the monumental statues on the façade of the nearby church of the Ospedaletto (Santa Maria dei Derelitti), the air-conditioned Colleoni Terrace offers Wi-Fi and a washing machine within spacious accommodation comprising:

A communal doorway / entrance with stairs (no lift) rising up to the:

3rd (top) Floor

• A private doorway leading into the apartment’s…

• Entrance hallway

• A wonderfully welcoming sitting / dining room with a large L-shaped sofa, dining suite for 4 lit by a low-hanging crystal chandelier, and a glass door leading out onto a long furnished terrace dotted with a plethora of plants and shaded by retractable awnings during the lazy hazy days of a Venetian summer

• A modern well-equipped galley-style kitchen, which also opens out onto the above-mentioned furnished terrace making the prep and serving of your apertivi with nibbles a doddle!

• An attractive principal bedroom with double bed, wardrobe and a glazed door leading out onto a 2nd south-facing terrace with retractable awnings – shared with the 2nd bedroom and overlooking the quiet inner Corte del Parucchier (Courtyard of the Hairdresser) with its ancient well-head… so much history! – plus a smart en suite bathroom with tiled shower

• A similarly attired double bedroom with double bed (which can be made into twins at your request), wardrobe, writing desk / workspace and a glazed door leading out onto the 2nd south-facing terrace shared with the principal bedroom

• A further separate contemporary bathroom, also with tiled shower


OUR COMMENT

Named after the striking 15th-century bronze equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni standing proud at the centre of the café-and-canal-fringed Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo nearby, a ‘TERRAZZA-TASTIC’ new addition to the VOV portfolio offering wonderful accommodation both inside and out!

Sitting at the edges of Venice’s busier commercial heart in an area more in-tune with the genuine Venetian neighbourhoods characterised by gently flapping washing lines, sun-dappled courtyards and labyrinthine alleyways just waiting to be discovered, Colleoni Terrace is within a stone's throw of the monumental Dominican Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (known as 'Zanipolo' in dialect - one of the largest churches in Venice and burial place of no fewer than 25 Venetian Doges) and on the 'right' side of town for visiting the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.

A gentle walk to St. Mark’s Square (and to Palazzo Grimani and the much-photgraphed Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop both near the wonderful Campo Santa Maria Formosa), the richly atmospheric Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni with its paintings by Carpaccio, the famous Rialto Bridge and its food markets, and the dainty jewel-box church of Santa Maria Dei Miracoli – so pretty…

Within moments of a great selection of cafes, bars and restaurants including Spaghetteria 6342 A Le Tole Pizzeria/Ristorante, Osteria Alla Staffa, Trattoria Bandierette, Osteria al Mascaron and the small local shops along Barbaria de le Tole…

And within easy reach of Salizada San Giustina (where you’ll find the splendid old-style Gastronomia Ortis, a grocery shop since 1914), the little shops of Salizada San Francesco, the 'Punto Simply' supermarket near San Lorenzo, the COOP Querini supermarket on the Fondamente Nove and the COOP at Calle Del Mondo Novo (near Santa Maria Formosa) for all your self-catering needs.

Also close to the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Ospedale (with no bridges to cross in between) for easy travel around the city, trips to beaches of the Lido and visits to the glass-blowing island of Murano, the rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the ancient island of Torcello with its 7th-century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
