Description

A memorable apartment with an astonishing 'altana' roof terrace, enviably situated on the top floor of the 15th Century Palazzo Mocenigo 'Ca' Vecchia' on the Grand Canal - the oldest palazzo within the legendary family of ancient Venetian palaces along this stretch collectively known as 'Palazzo Mocenigo' and sharing its prestigious canal side setting with its 'next door neighbour' property, the one-time Venetian bolthole of 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' British romantic poet and literary figure, Lord Byron (1788-1824). A rare opportunity to experience the endless pleasures of Venice from one of the most distinguished and hauntingly atmospheric locations in the entire city.

Expertly renovated with great finesse and a quiet patrician elegance, Ca' Del Mercante offers internet, air-conditioning throughout and accommodates up to eight guests in comfort on the third floor, served by lift. It comprises a large and wonderfully bright and airy L-shaped main sitting/ dining room with no fewer than eight windows over the Grand Canal offering superb vistas of such well-known Venetian landmarks as the Church of the Frari, the 'Traghetto' at San Toma, Ca' Foscari and so much more besides. The room's warm, highly polished wooden flooring and ample sofas welcome guests to the comforts of home after an action-packed day of sightseeing or a fun-filled diary of social engagements, while stylish touches such as gilded antique mirrors, oriental rugs, graceful wall sconces and exquisite period furniture uphold the wonderful over-riding aura of restrained good taste.

The dining area is furnished with seating for six while the relatively simple yet fully-fitted kitchen is well-equipped with everything necessary for easy self-catering.

There are two highly appealing bedrooms on this level - a very comfortable master bedroom overlooking the Grand Canal and with a double bed (this can be made into twins - simply ask when booking) and an up-to-date en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over, plus a second bedroom also with fabulous Grand Canal views and a very romantic antique 'French' size bed. Also on this floor are two further bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a shower and a washing machine for added convenience.

A wooden staircase leads up to the third bedroom - a snug and peaceful 'top of the house' retreat with characterful twin beds which can also be made into a double (please ask when booking) and from which a further very short wooden staircase allows guests access to what must be one of the most wonderful and highly-prized features of the entire property - an amazing furnished 'altana' roof terrace with breathtaking views to capture the imagination at every turn, drawing the eye from the Campanile at St.Mark's to the Teatro La Fenice, from the tilting tower of Santo Stefano to the domes of Santa Maria Della Salute and from the atrium of Palazzo Grassi to San Polo, over partial glimpses of the Grand Canal.

OUR COMMENT

A 'top tier' property - and in more ways than one, offering great comfort, superb views and a truly memorable Venetian experience within the august surroundings of one of Venice's most notable addresses.

Close to Campo Santo Stefano, the Accademia Bridge/ Academy of Fine Arts and less than two minutes walk to the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art in an exclusive area known for its antique shops and galleries.

Everyday needs are met by a grocery/ delicatessen, wine shop, restaurants, wine bars and cafes, while two nearby vaporetto stops (San Samuele - Line 2 and Sant' Angelo - Line 1) and 'Traghetto' service allow for easy travel around the city (the latter ferrying passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal between Calle Del Tragheto near Sant' Angelo and San Toma in the district of San Polo).*

Moments to the gallery of interior designer Chiarastella Cattana - a discreetly sophisticated showroom of fine and distinctively woven textiles and furnishings and, for scent-lovers, steps away from the Venice outlet of the famous Florentine ‘Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’ – one of the oldest pharmacies in the world and one time fragrance maker to Catherine de’ Medici.

the apartment is comfortable

A traveller

we had a very enjoyable 10 days and will certainly come back - the apartment is comfortable and we can find only trivial criticisms - not enough glasses and they are not dishwasher friendly... overall we have nothing to complain about at all Cristina was very helpful in arranging water taxis and we would have felt able to call about anything if necessary (which it wasn't) best wishes from us all .

great experience

A traveller

Views on Venice was extraordinary throughout the whole process: from booking to checkout. The level of service they provide is second-to-none. Upon our arrival we were met promptly at the dock and escorted to our apartment. Our apartment was beautifully appointed and very clean. Late that night we discovered the boiler was broken so there was no heathot water. The plumber was summoned first thing in the morning and, when it wasn't going to be a timely repair, Views on Venice contacted us with a variety of options. We happily moved to another location and felt we had been completely looked after. We didn't have to ask for options - Views on Venice was ahead of us all the way to ensure we had a great experience on our trip. Because of their concern about our accommodations and their timeliness in dealing with it, I would highly recommend Views on Venice. This is our second time booking with them and both times I have been extremely satisfied.

stay was perfect

A traveller

Our stay was perfect- any commentssudestions below are just extras 1) It would be nice to have ice cube trays in the fridge- us northameriacns love our ice cubes! 2)You should have the cleaners make sure there are no marks on the walls- especally around the areas where people put their suitcases- I noticed a number of marks when I arrived and cleaned them myself out of fear of getting a charge0 they7 are simple to clean- just havethe cleanbre look at the areas where suitcases would sit on suitcase stands and make sure the wall marks are cleaned off- 3) A litle explanation of the wash machine in english These arepicky picky commnets and in no way are made with any negative feeling. It was just very obvious that views on Venice prides itself on perfection.

This is an excellent property

A traveller

This is an excellent property. The location with views of the grand canal is a once in a lifetime experience. We took a boat taxi from the train station (arranged by the property management) which dropped us off on a private dock just steps from the entrance to the building. We were met at the dock by staff who let us in, showed us the place and pointed out handy information on a map. The furnishings of the apartment are very nice. There are 4 real bedrooms and in two of the rooms there are twin beds. The living area is huge, plenty of space to spread out. The place is on the 4th floor, though there is a small elevator. A roof terrace offers a beautiful view over the rooftops. The location is excellent, off the Disneyland crowded main streets of Venice. Yet close to restaurants, a deli, gelato.

a fabulous experience

A traveller

Staying at Ca' Del Mercante was a fabulous experience! Communication with our host and, in particular, Cristina was extremely easy and prompt and no effort was spared to welcome us to Venice and ensure that our entire stay was memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. The apartment is absolutely lovely and so very well placed in a non-touristy and safe location on the Grand Canal surrounded by ample amenities including grocery stores, boutique shops and local restaurants and within easy walking distance to many of the major attractions the city has to offer. The check-out process was smooth and effortless and culminated with our departure by private water taxi to the airport kindly arranged by Cristina. I would highly recommend this apartment to those wishing to explore Venice and experience its grandeur. Thank you ViewsOnVenice!

It is gorgeous, perfectly located for everything

A traveller

I should start by saying that Views on Venice have been absolutely excellent from start to finish. Their booking process was simple and clear and they have been a pleasure to deal with. They have replied to all of my emails (I had a lot of questions!) quickly and were always extremely helpful and accommodating. When our plane was delayed by a couple of hours, I was able to easily contact them and they kindly reorganised our water taxi booking and made sure everything was in place for our arrival. When we arrived in Venice, the water taxi brought us to the apartment (we booked this through Views on Venice which was very easy) - a really wonderful journey and well worth doing! It is expensive, but gives such a wonderful introduction to the city. There is a 5-10 minute walk from the airport to the dock, but it was easy enough and I think they are currently building a new terminal closer to the water. We were met at the dock, just a 30 second walk from the apartment building, by a friendly Views on Venice representative who showed us around the apartment and explained all that we needed to know. The information book in the apartment was also excellent and it was extremely reassuring knowing we could contact Views on Venice 24 hours a day in emergencies. The apartment itself is even more wonderful than we could have imagined. The website photos don't do it justice. It really did take our breath away. It is enormous! With beautiful floors and ornate decorations, it really did feel palatial. As it's a top floor property, there is a small, beautiful, lift, though we liked to try to walk up for some exercise! It was useful though for moving our cases and bringing up grocery shopping. The views from the huge windows in the apartment are absolutely stunning, and we spent hours just watching life on the canal go by, and also caught some lovely sunsets. The rooftop terrace is relatively small, but plenty big enough for four to have drinkseven dinner. Though do bring some bug spray, as the mosquitoes tended to come out around 8.30pm (we travelled in June). Once we had the spray, this wasn't too much of a problem. The view from the terrace is outstanding. There can surely be few better views from holiday apartments in Venice - we seemed to have one of the highest terraces and could easily see over to St Marks and various other beautiful buildings. A real treat! The bedrooms themselves were very comfortable and welcoming. The master bedroom and room with “French” size bed (essentially, I think this is a double bed - they say it comfortably sleeps one, but it seemed like a standard double to us) had beautiful views over the canal. You do obviously get a bit of noise from the canal, but this is to be expected. It's not too bad at all though, and is all part of life on the grand canal! In fact, the sound of the boats outside was quite relaxing. The only negative was that the air conditioning wasn't terribly efficient and we got quite hot in the night. A few extra fans would help, and possibly the air con needs looking at? The bathrooms were great and it was a bonus to find a jacuzzi bath in the main house bathroom - the walls have also been refurbished in this bathroom - they looked a little mouldy in the website photos, but were looking lovely when we arrived. The additional shower room was also excellent. The kitchen was well equipped, and we made good use of this, preparing light meals on a couple of evenings. There was plenty of crockery, fine wine glasses, pans, etc. There is a wonderful little shop about a minute's walk from the apartment building, which stocks meat, vegetables, salad, fresh milk, cheese, alcohol, etc which was very useful - the owners were so friendly and even brought our shopping to the apartment for us! Would definitely recommend them. We ate out at various restaurants during our visit, but tended to go for lunch rather than dinner. St Marks is extremely busy with the cruise ships, but it was very easy to avoid the mas

a wonderful time

A traveller

We had a fantastic stay in the apartment. The views are amazing. The pickup from the airport and returning was all perfect as the taxi was there on time. Christina met us and told us all about the flat. I am afraid her english is much better than our italian. The only thing that would have been good for a weekend break would be a welcome pack with coffee and milk etc. This is not a criticism as we had a wonderful time and Christina was great and telling us where to go to get our provisions. Thank you all very much and we hope to use you again to return to Venice.

the excellent service

A traveller

As always we were delighted with the excellent service we received fro the staff at Views on Venice. In particular , I would like to thank Valentina who did everything she could to help me on Sunday morning when I rang her in great distress. Following a beef fillet eaten at L'Opera Restaurant, I developed severe food poisoning made more stressful as it was the morning of the day we were flying back to Manchester. She rang a doctor who gave advice, and fortunately I was fit to travel that evening. I must say, that in all our 12 years of visiting Venice, I have never experienced any kind of upset stomach, and have eaten in many places. It is a lesson I have learned, that if you suspect that the food you are given is not right- then you should send it back to the kitchen. I failed to do this and suffered badly from the consequences of thoe decision. Martha was also invaluable in meeting us, and seeing us off in the water taxi. Thanks to Daniella who helped us on Saturday morning when we called into the office to look at smaller apartments for future visits ! Only one remark about the apartment - the plugs from some appliances do not work with English adapters eg - to get the kettle to boil we had to plug it into the floor socket in the kitchen.

A traveller

Accueil très chaleureux et attentionné de l'agence: Valentina, Marta, Cristina.... Pour ce voyage important et préparé longtemps à l'avance, l'agence a su répondre à toutes les questions que je me posais et même aller au delà, en me donnant des conseils ou informations qui se sont avérés judicieux. L'appartement est superbe, spacieux et très confortable, avec vue magnifique sur le canal. Le trafic fluvial de nuit est moindre et les doubles vitrages permettent de dormir paisiblement. Notre famille (8 personnes dont 4 enfants) gardera d'excellents souvenirs des lieux et bien sur de la magie de cette ville, sans compter l'accueil et le sérieux de votre agence , que nous recommanderons volontiers. Merci encore .
