Ca’ Del Monastero 4 Introducing the very special Ca’ Del Monastero - a fine antique residence comprising 9 superbly restored apartments of varying size (including Ca’ Del Monastero 4 - see its dedicated section below) situated in what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Degolà (one of the oldest in Venice), moments from the Grand Canal in the district of Santa Croce. Enjoying an atmosphere of calm serenity in what must surely be one of Venice’s most evocative and unspoilt neighbourhoods - indeed a step back in time - the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments offer spacious and beautifully presented accommodation for small and medium size parties or up to 38 guests if taken together.* No expense has been spared in its recent remodelling… Carefully co-ordinated contemporary furnishings and soft neutral colours meld seamlessly against a traditional backdrop of polished red marble and/or traditional Venetian terrazzo flooring, while stylish high-spec fittings and attractive finishes, such as textured resin walls and luxurious feature wall coverings, give a fresh and fashionable twist to the building’s ancient framework. Enhanced by a range of up-to-date facilities as demanded by today’s savvy traveller (including air-conditioning**, Wi-Fi internet connection and communal utility facilities), the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments are perfectly placed for communing with the true and heart and soul of the city and for visiting all that Venice has to offer while providing all the comforts of modern city living. Ca’ Del Monastero 4 A hugely appealing dual-aspect apartment enjoying picturesque views of the Church, Campo and Rio de San Degolà to the front and the Salizada Dei Fondaco Dei Turchi to the rear, offering impressive accommodation for up to 8 guests. Showcasing elegance and pared-down simplicity at its best and situated on the 1st floor of the residence reached by lift or via a staircase rising from the splendid ‘chequerboard’ marble-floored communal entrance hallway on the floor below, accommodation comprises a full-length main sitting/dining room with Venetian terrazzo flooring and tall ceilings which echoes the traditional layout of many Venetian ‘Piano Nobili’. Of fine proportions and topped with beautiful painted beams dotted with glass chandeliers, the room offers plenty of seating and a modern style dining suite quirkily offset by two fun and fabulous Rococo-style armchairs. To one side of the main central room sits the well-equipped and fully-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, while the other leads to two well-dressed double bedrooms - one to the front with feature fireplace (not in use) and one to the rear and both with their own en-suite and up-to-date bathrooms (one with a large shower, the other with a bathtub and shower over, and both beautifully appointed). In between the two bedrooms sits a further small bedroom/snug with a sofa/’pull out’ bed sleeping 2, while a fourth bedroom with a double bed (can be made into twins - simply ask when booking) and an en-suite service bathroom (w.c. and wash hand basin only) sits to the front of the apartment on the opposite side. *Are you a part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments?
