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.

An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Mark’s Square.
Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard ‘Corte Rubbi’, on the Castello/San Marco border, this once forgotten building has been magically transformed by restorers with vision and interior design savoir-faire.
Standing at the gondola-busy T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, and encapsulating 10 dazzling apartments of varying colourway and size, the newly launched Corte Rubbi is but a stroll to some of Venice’s most iconic attractions and countless beguiling vistas on which to feast your eyes!
Easy to find (when you know the way!) from the shop-lined Campo San Bartolomeo and Salizada San Lio on one of Venice’s canal-encircled ‘islands within an island’, these imaginatively furnished apartments offer Wi-Fi and a communal laundry room and are spread across 4 floors with all upper floors reached by stairs.
Highly contemporary in style, air-conditioned** throughout and ranging from a charming studio for 4 to a fabulous penthouse with rooftop terrace, Corte Rubbi’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:
Corte Rubbi 6 – on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs – sleeping 4
A peaceful and relaxing studio apartment looking onto the courtyard comprising:
A charming main living / dining / sleeping area in warm and welcoming ivory and pink with wooden parquet flooring underfoot, wooden beamed ceiling overhead, a pair of queen size double beds and a dining area seating 4
A well-equipped kitchenette for light cooking reached by a few steps up from the main room
A luxurious bathroom to the side with marble walls and chromotherapy shower
Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other apartments within this palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1, Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 5, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514
OUR COMMENT
A peaceful and relaxing studio for 4, in a vibrant, central and endlessly fascinating part of town.
A few steps away from the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava and close to a host of famous sights and attractions including the atmospheric Venetian time-capsule that is the Querini Stampalia, the fabulous Palazzo Grimani just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of San Zaccaria with its crypt and wonderful Bellini altarpiece, and Vivaldi’s La Pietà on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront…
… A short stroll towards a very sedate pace of life lived out amongst the tranquil calles, canals and green spaces of Castello with its laid-back and very genuine neighbourhood vibe…
… Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square (‘the Piazza’) gloriously near-empty before its visitors arrive… or visit at night when the orchestras of Quadri and Florian play*, the bells of the Campanile (bell tower) toll, the marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness…
Close to a host of shops, restaurants and bars including the much-lauded Alle Testiere, the upmarket Bistrot de Venise and Alle Corone of the nearby Hotel Reali, the charming Osteria Al Portego (delicious cicheti!) and Osteria Ae Sconte, plus Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa with its tables on the campo.
Also within easy reach of 4 well-stocked supermarkets – a Despar at Calle al Ponte de la Guerra, a COOP at Salizada San Lio, and a COOP and a Despar on the Riva del Carbon (near the Rialto Bridge), along with a ‘Vino Sfuso’ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocer’s stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the ‘Traghetto’ gondola ferry carrying passengers across the Grand Canal between the Riva Del Carbon and San Silvestro in the San Polo district and the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for trips around town, visits to the Lido beaches and to the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.

**Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation. Generally, the heating works from middle of October to middle of April, while air conditioning works between middle of Aprile to middle of October. Please contact us for further information.
