OUR COMMENT

Your bounty awaits you on your Venetian voyage of discovery - tucked away off the beaten path but only a short stroll to St. Mark’s square!

A characterful apartment in a remarkably unspoilt area shared with a barely discernable trickle of inquisitive and well-informed visitors seeking out the 'genuine' everyday Venice of gently flapping washing lines, sun-dappled courtyards and characterful calli - yet still close to the action if you want to get busy about town

Within steps of the peaceful Palladian church of San Francesco della Vigna (St Francis of the Vines) with its soaring bell-tower and delightfully peaceful cloisters, and on the 'right' side of town for visiting the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini

A gentle walk to the imposing Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (one of the largest churches in Venice and burial place of no fewer than 25 Venetian Doges), the richly atmospheric Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni with its paintings by Carpaccio, and to the 'Questura' office of Donna Leon's fictional Commissario Guido Brunetti

Also within a stone’s throw of a 'Punto Simply' supermarket near San Lorenzo and the small local shops of Salizada San Francesco and Barbaria Del Tole for all your self-catering needs… and only 150m to the Vaporetto (water bus) stop at Celestia (with no bridges to cross in between) for 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

Introducing the beautifully renewed Ca' Del Monastero collection — a unique residence comprising nine elegant apartments set within the former monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Zan Degolà, one of the oldest churches in Venice, tucked away in the authentic and atmospheric district of Santa Croce, just moments from the Grand Canal.

Recently refreshed with a sophisticated new interior concept, Ca' Del Monastero 4 combines the grandeur of a historic Venetian residence with contemporary comfort and understated elegance. Warm neutral palettes, refined textured wall coverings, carefully curated furnishings and rich golden accents create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, while traditional Venetian terrazzo flooring, soaring ceilings and original architectural features preserve the timeless charm of the building's historic character.

Enhanced by a range of modern comforts including air conditioning, Wi-Fi connection and communal utility facilities, the Ca' Del Monastero apartments offer an ideal balance between authentic Venetian living and contemporary convenience in one of the city's most genuine residential neighbourhoods.

A wonderfully spacious and light-filled dual-aspect apartment enjoying picturesque views of the Church, Campo and Rio de San Zan Degolà to the front and the Salizada del Fondaco dei Turchi to the rear, Ca' Del Monastero 4 offers impressive accommodation for up to eight guests.
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. Subtle golden tones, soft fabrics and carefully selected decorative elements contribute to a calm and refined atmosphere throughout the living spaces.
Adjacent to the main reception room sits the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast room, thoughtfully designed to provide everything required for both short and extended stays.

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.
A fourth bedroom, located to the front of the apartment, features a double bed which can be prepared as twin beds upon request. This room also benefits from its own en-suite service bathroom with WC and washbasin.

Throughout the apartment, original Venetian character is complemented by contemporary comfort, creating an inviting and elegant atmosphere perfectly suited to larger families and groups seeking an authentic stay in Venice.
Guests staying at Ca' Del Monastero enjoy the rare opportunity to experience one of Venice's most authentic residential neighbourhoods while remaining within easy reach of the city's most celebrated landmarks.

The residence is conveniently located within walking distance of Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma, while the nearby vaporetto (waterbus) stops of Riva di Biasio and San Stae on the Grand Canal provide effortless connections throughout the city.

Just moments away lies Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio, one of Venice's most charming and lively local squares, surrounded by cafés, restaurants and authentic Venetian daily life.
