Description
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.
For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.
Beds will be arranged as either doubles or twins as shown in the photos. The possibility of turning a double bed into twins or vice versa can be found in the description and must be requested at least 7 days before arrival.

The location is excellent, away from the hordes of tourists but with plenty of restaurants and local flavor. Conveniently located near a canal for water taxi access for airport transfers. And, only steps away from the breathtaking Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Views on Venice service was excellent, from having flowers and Prosecco delivered for a birthday to arranging a water taxi to the airport. A five-star experience.

Nothing major comes to mind. Maybe a lamp or two for more intimate lighting. The chandelier in the dining / living area is pretty bright!

The apartment was immaculate and well-appointed. The large terrace is the highlight of the property. An electrically-operated retractable canopy makes the terrace pleasant at any time of the day, offering beautiful views and sounds of the city. The property is outside of the most crowded area of Venice but within an approximately 10-minute direct walk to the Piazza San Marco area. A decent COOP grocery store is about 5 minutes from the property, and various other smaller grocery stores are within steps, on the same street. The management team was very helpful and responsive. Located at the 3rd (top) floor of the building, the apartment is only accessibly by stairs but this did not feel strenuous to any of us (all in our 50s). We highly recommend this property, which we would definitely try to book again next time in Venice.

Lovely apartment which is in a really good location and within easy walking distance to a lot of sights with cafes and restaurants close by. We enjoyed having the terrace to sit out on but be aware that there are a lot of stairs if mobility is an issue. Communication from the team was excellent and being met at the apartment was a real boon as it allows you to ask questions face to face. They also organised transfers for us and this was also an excellent service.

NEW LISTING!
Hit those holiday high notes at new apartment Operetta,
So cute and well located you’re never ever gonna forget her!
Nestled within the same peaceful Dorsoduro property as the larger members of our hugely popular ‘Opera’ family of apartments (see the chic Ca’ Dell’Opera Terrace and gorgeous L’Opera Divina) and bookable separately or in conjunction with either (or even both!*), this deliciously cosy new addition will be music to the ears of seasoned visitors familiar with the most desirable parts of Venice.
Freshly attired in 2025/6 and boasting creature comforts aplenty, the dainty and delightful Operetta plays second fiddle to none!
Charmingly positioned in sleepy Campo degli Incurabili, near the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Accademia Galleries** (and our Grand Canal office!) and the Zattere’s spectacular canal views towards Giudecca, the apartment sleeps 4 guests in 2 bright and cheerful double bedrooms on the 1st floor of the building accessed by stairs.
Singing in perfect harmony with the design score of its ‘big sister’ apartments – imagine bespoke furnishings, impactful colours, tailored textiles and soft lighting – the elegantly understated Operetta offers Wi-Fi plus air-conditioning and an easy-going Venetian vibe throughout its 80sqm accommodation.
The perfect pied-à-terre for you and your partner, cherished chums or small family, and refreshingly free of the mass-produced faux-Venetian flourishes sometimes spotted about town, the apartment instead favours a rather simpler, refined aesthetic in ‘lateral-living’ accommodation comprising:
Ground Floor
The building’s main entrance tucked away along the Ramo Dietro Agli Incurabili – note on your way, the wonderful stone-carved pair of statuettes of Christ (dated 1681) on the corners of the ‘Opera’ building at the head of the passageway – followed by 2 short flights of stairs (no lift) rising to Operetta’s entrance on the...
1st Floor
Where we open the door to discover...
A characterful and warmly welcoming sitting / TV room in cool ‘salvia’ sage green, the colour contrasting beautifully with the wooden timbers overhead, traditional terrazzo flooring underfoot, and a deep crimson-velvet ivory-piped sofa set before a mixed media on canvas artwork by Elia Valentini (student at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia) entitled ‘Grande Blu 1, 2025’ and purchased at the recent charity auction for Avapo Venezia
A spacious free-flowing open-plan dining room / kitchen space in deep pinky-red terracotta overlooking the west-facing Campo Incurabili to the fore, with beams overhead, fabulous wooden herringbone parquet flooring underfoot, a well-equipped contemporary kitchen in white (with washing machine / dryer) where you can crack open the Prosecco or rustle up a storm (if cooking with the super-fresh local ingredients is your bag!), plus a dining suite hosting 6 guests to the side and just the spot for some convivial downtime where you can all share stories of your Venetian adventures!
A restful principal double bedroom to the rear of the apartment dressed in sunny yellow and peacock blues and greens, and furnished with a beautifully upholstered double bed with can be split into twins upon request
An equally tranquil 2nd double bedroom to the side of the apartment, also in sunny yellow and with claret-velvet upholstered twin beds which can be made into a double upon request
And completing the accommodation on the opposite side of the apartment....
A simple modern bathroom in white with tiled shower
*Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay together but in separate apartments? We offer 2 other apartments in the ‘Opera’ building: Ca’ Dell’Opera Terrace (sleeping 8) and L’Opera Divina (sleeping 10) with the 3 apartments combined hosting a maximum of 22 guests when reserved for exclusive use!
**Note that the Accademia Galleries close to apartment Operetta will be hosting Marina Abramović’s historic solo exhibition ‘Transforming Energy’ (6 May 2026 – 19 October 2026) during the Venice 2026 Art Biennale. She will be the first living woman artist to be honoured with a major solo exhibition at the Accademia in its 275-year history
OUR COMMENT
A charming apartment championing pared-down Venetian appeal in one of our absolute favourite parts of town!
A short stroll to Campo San Vio on the Grand Canal and the Palazzo Cini Gallery to the west, the Church of the Salute and the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art to the east, and close to a great choice of eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri, Lineadombra and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and the popular Osteria Al Squero, Corner Pub and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for spritz and cicheti.
An easy walk to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia for easy travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!), to 2 Conad supermarkets – one moments away just behind the Zattere Spirito Santo vaporetto stop and the other at the western end of the Zattere – and to the traghetto at Calle Lanza / Calle del Traghetto San Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the traghetto stop beside the Gritti Palace in the district of San Marco.
Also within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
Please note that the operation of air-conditioning and heating are subject to municipality regulation. In general, heating is available from mid-October to mid-April, while air-conditioning is available from mid-April to mid-October. Please contact us for further information.
For arrivals between 8 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organise arrivals between midnight and 1 a.m. with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.
Beds will be arranged as either doubles or twins as shown in the photos. The possibility of turning a double bed into twins or vice versa can be found in the description and must be requested at least 7 days before arrival.3 reviews -
Presenting you the keys to this 2-bedroomed Dorsoduro beauty… magically placed near the domes of Salute!
Mid-century modern in mood and giving onto the Rio Terà dei Saloni – a wonderfully evocative and peaceful tree-lined avenue linking the breathtaking Zattere waterfront to the glittering Grand Canal – apartment Ca’ Delle Vele sleeps 4 guests in a characterful setting of rough-hewn timbers, oak flooring and velvety Marmorino walls.
West facing and bright – particularly in the afternoon and early evening – and providing comfort and style in abundance and equal measure, this 1st floor apartment offers air-conditioning** and Wi-Fi plus a relaxed and homely ambience promising maximum holiday pleasure!
Situated in an area historically famous for the salt warehouses once found here and within a stone’s throw of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova, the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art and the ‘traghetto’ gondola ferry crossing the Grand Canal to the San Marco sestiere, Ca’ Delle Vele’s accommodation comprises:
A communal entrance on the ground floor with stairs rising to the
1st Floor – private door into:
• A cosy, welcoming and softly lit sitting room picked out in tasteful teal-blues and furnished with a large L-shaped sofa set beneath a wall print of the ‘Chiesa della Salute Venezia’ by Gaspare Vanvitelli (1653–1736) and a splendidly detailed tapestry giving warmth to the room, and featuring 3 tall French windows opening onto a long balcony with window boxes overlooking the delightfully tranquil Rio Terà dei Saloni* and the little 15th-century Gothic palazzo opposite, with the Zattere waterfront and the Giudecca Canal just visible at its southern end!
• A modern, streamlined and well-equipped kitchen / dining room to the side with a dining suite seating 6
• 2 attractively presented double bedrooms of approximately similar size and style – one in a cool eau-de-nil to the front and the other in a warm buttery yellow to the rear and¬ both with built-in wardrobes and double beds which can be made into singles upon request
And completing Ca’ Delle Vele’s well-planned accommodation:
• 2 separate bathrooms with contemporary-style fittings – one with a bathtub and hand-held shower and the other with a shower
* A canal filled in many years ago to create a paved street
OUR COMMENT
A charming place to call home in an idyllic location where time seems to stand still, generation after generation…
A very short stroll via the wide Rio Terà dei Catecumeni to the magnificent votive Church of Santa Maria Della Salute and its breathtaking views over to the Campanile at San Marco… and peacefully positioned (except during the ‘Festa Della Salute’ which takes place on 21 November each year *** – please see below!)
Within steps of the popular little coffee shop / takeaway known as 60/40 – perfect for a morning cappuccino and pastry, a freshly squeezed juice, filled roll or a refreshing gelato or 3! (NB: only a small handful of bar stools available) – and within a short walk of the Accademia Galleries and Bridge (and the VOV office!), the Palazzo Cini Gallery and a variety of fine eating places and bars including Linea D’Ombra, Ai Gondolieri and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining and Corner Pub, Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for panini / cicheti and spritz.
A scenic waterside stroll to the Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere and within easy reach of 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia – for travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!)
Also moments to the ‘traghetto’ at Calle Lanza / Calle del Traghetto S. Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the stand beside the Gritti Palace Hotel in the district of San Marco, and within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
*** One of the most moving and best loved of all Venetian events. Every year on the 21 November, Venetians make a pilgrimage to the plague church of Santa Maria Della Salute (St. Mary of Health) to pray to the Virgin Mary and to light candles, while gondoliers visit bringing their oars to be blessed. A pontoon bridge is built across the Grand Canal from Santa Maria Del Giglio over to the Salute and the huge doors of the church are opened to the city and its visitors, while the area close to Salute is busy with stalls selling candles, balloons and all manner of sweet temptations!
