Ca' dei Diamanti Grand Canal Venice - Apartment

Ca' dei Diamanti Grand Canal
NEW LISTING


A DISTINGUISHED ‘DES RES’ FOR 6 in the Palazzo Donà Della Trezza - a 13th century Venetian-Byzantine Palace on the banks of the GRAND CANAL

Caressed by jade green (and occasionally aquamarine!) Canalazzo* waters and blessed with enthralling, gondola-bobbing, dual-aspect views, this handsome ‘House of Diamonds ’ sits in a corner-hugging position on the ground & 1st floors of the palazzo connected by stairs

Sharing this stretch of the famous waterway with its glitterati-attracting neighbour** in the atmospheric and labyrinthine San Polo sestiere, Ca’ Dei Diamanti Grand Canal offers upside down-style accommodation, purposely configured to make the most of those dazzlingly awesome views!

‘Modern Venetian’ in decor, air-conditioned throughout and near the Rialto markets and cicheti-serving bacari just a few twists and turns away, this refreshed 3 bedroomed property provides a washing machine*** and Wi-Fi and comprises -

• Your very own private front door leading directly into the apartment from the lantern-lit Calle Del Traghetto De La Madoneta, moments from Campo San Polo - one of Venice’s largest and most impressive, palazzo-fringed squares

Ground Floor

• A spacious double bedroom - simple and pared down in style - with a double bed, a pair of windows facing the Grand Canal, oriental rug-topped wooden flooring, plus a raised mirrored wardrobe to the rear of the room

• Reached via a few steps - a restful second double bedroom to the middle of the apartment with partially beamed ceiling, Marmorino walls, woodblock flooring, ample wardrobe space, a double bed above a glass panel framing a 13th century water well beneath (!), plus a marble en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over

Staircase rising to the…

1st Floor

Where a landing with star-embellished beams leads you to -

• A superbly positioned dual-aspect beamed sitting room - lit by the morning and early afternoon sun and showcasing a Murano glass chandelier, a pair of windows on the Grand Canal to the fore and a tall window with balustrade to the side enjoying palazzo-skimming vistas extending down to Ca’ Foscari at the ‘volta del canal’, plus a pair of white leather Chesterfield sofas upon oriental rug-topped wooden flooring

• An elegant dining room to the centre of the apartment - tastefully fashioned and furnished with a series of ornithological prints, a Murano chandelier and matching wall sconce set beneath painted wooden beams, and a contemporary dining suite seating 6 beside a modern display cabinet housing a collection of porcelain vases and antique figurines

• A well-equipped and streamlined kitchen with a tall window with balustrade to the side, integrated appliances and everything you need to rustle up a quick pranzo with the minimum of fuss

• Ca’ Dei Diamanti’s 3rd double bedroom - a dainty little boudoir fit for a fairytale romance! - where a pretty wrought-iron double bed awaits its 2 sleepy bedfellows beneath a charming frescoed ceiling, and polished Venetian terrazzo flooring gleams beside ivory painted walls

And completing the accommodation on the same floor…

• 2 further bathrooms - each with a shower and salmon pink marble fittings


* An alternative ‘local’ name for Venice’s Grand Canal

** The luxurious 5-star Aman Hotel and its wisteria-hemmed canal-side garden within the 16th century Palazzo Papadopoli located just next door - note that its spa, restaurant and bar are open to non-resident guests

*** A separate tumble dryer is also available – quite a rarity in Venice and handy for longer stays!



OUR COMMENT


We just couldn’t help falling in love with Ca’ Dei Diamanti Grand Canal– our new ‘high carat’ love nest promising a flawless Venice stay!

A prestigious address in a history-heavy palazzo, tucked away from the crowds on its landside yet with the excellent facilities very close to hand

Wonderfully positioned between the Rialto area just to the north (with its famous food markets, bacari and tight network of little alleyways and bridges) and to the Dorsoduro district in the south (with its wide fondamente, antique shops and art galleries)

Within seconds of all that’s happening in and around Campo San Polo, and only a few minutes amble to the 14th century Church of the Frari and the Tintoretto-filled Scuola Grande Di San Rocco

Close to 3 supermarkets - a small Coop near Sant' Aponal, a well-stocked Conad near the Frari, and a CRAI Cassa at Campo San Tomà - in addition to a plethora of shops, bars and cafes to satisfy all your self-catering needs

Within a stone’s throw of some excellent local restaurants including the casual, umbrella-shaded Birreria La Corte; the reassuringly old-school Alla Madonna; the charming and tiny Al Ponte Storto; and the very famous and much-celebrated Antiche Carampane - the latter hidden deep within the silent and narrow winding alleyways but surprisingly close to your apartment… if you know the way! ;)

Also an easy stroll to 2 vaporetto stops - San Silvestro (with no bridges to cross in between!) and San Tomà - and to the traghetto gondola ferry at San Tomà for trips across the Grand Canal to the must-see sights of the San Marco sestiere
