Tesori di Celestia Venice - Apartment

A beautiful canal side address to impress – the epitome of style and understated elegance on the Canal Dei Greci with its famous leaning tower nearby. This really is the best of both worlds… less than ten minutes from all the must-see sights of St Mark's Square (including the Basilica, the Doge’s Palace and the Clock Tower) and yet right next to the quieter, more atmospheric neighbourhood of Castello.

Fans of Donna Leon’s fictional crime-buster, Commissario Guido Brunetti, will certainly feel at home here. The offices of the “Questura” where he works are a few doors away.

Ca’ dei Greci is an unusually light and airy apartment with lovely views over a wide canal - gondolas glide past and a water taxi can drop you at your front door. It offers spacious and classically Venetian surroundings for up to eight guests with four very private bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The main sitting-room has three double-height windows opening directly onto a balcony overlooking the canal, with a park beyond. It’s a charming, central room, very Venetian in style with an oriental rug on a traditional terrazzo floor, old mirrors and tasteful artworks.

The informal TV room to the side has huge, comfortable sofas, an upright piano for the musically inclined and two windows also overlooking the canal. The air-conditioned dining room is a picture of elegance in which classic wooden cabinetry and the bold geometric patterns of the polished parquet flooring are offset by the delicacy of a fine crystal chandelier and pretty cane-backed chairs. If you fancy a formal Venetian dinner, this is the place!

The dining room looks out towards the Campinale of St Mark's which you can see over the terracotta rooftops. Next to it stands the white, light-filled kitchen which is fully equipped and features traditional terazzo flooring plus a scrubbed wooden country style table for lazy breakfasts or preparing lunch or dinner.

There are four large and very tasteful bedrooms – three doubles and a twin - each stylishly presented with antique furniture, comfortable beds and beautiful wardrobes. The master bedroom has a secret door leading to its own hidden bathroom and canal views. The double bedroom at the back looks out over a pretty, palm-filled garden and the twin is charming and roomy.

So – ideal for a large family or for couples staying together (and needing their own space), Ca’ Dei Greci is a Venetian home from home.


OUR COMMENT

Space and relaxed grandeur in a fabulous spot…

A short walk to the atmospheric Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni and its wonderful Carpaccio paintings, the monumental Dominican Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (one of the largest churches in Venice and burial place of no fewer than 25 Venetian Doges), and to Campo Santa Maria Formosa (site of the Querini Stampalia) passing Palazzo Grimani on the way.

And even closer to home - moments to the cavernous and newly restored Church of San Lorenzo (long closed but now home to Ocean Space - a collaborative platform focusing on ocean conservation) and to the Museo di Dipinti Sacri Byzanti (Museum of Icons) just along the canal.

Also within easy reach of the local Punto supermarket for easy self-catering and to the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for easy travel around the city.

Situated on the first floor of the residence and conveniently accessible both by elevator and by stairs, the apartment showcases the elegant proportions traditionally associated with Venice's noble residences.
At its heart lies an impressive full-length living and dining room characterised by exceptionally high ceilings, beautiful painted beams, Venetian terrazzo flooring and large windows that flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day.

Elegant contemporary furnishings blend effortlessly with the apartment's historic architectural features, while comfortable lounge seating and a generous dining area create an inviting setting for relaxing, socialising and spending time together.

The sleeping accommodation has been arranged to offer comfort, privacy and flexibility for families and larger groups alike.
Two beautifully appointed double bedrooms, one overlooking the Campo and one facing the quieter rear side of the residence, each benefit from their own stylish en-suite bathroom. Decorative wall coverings, warm neutral tones, soft lighting and elegant furnishings create welcoming spaces designed for rest and relaxation. One bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, while the second offers a bathtub with overhead shower.

Between the two principal bedrooms sits a cosy additional bedroom/snug with a comfortable sofa bed sleeping two guests, ideal for children or occasional guests.
