Description
THE YACHT HOUSE, close to St. Mark’s Square!
NEW LISTING
Welcome, the doors of this chicissimo ‘Yacht Club’ residence are now open!
Lavished with love from the word go and guaranteed to make your holiday plain sailing!
One of the most remarkable properties we’ve ever had the pleasure of welcoming to our portfolio, this stunning new listing is thoroughly unique in every way.
Created with boundless passion and energy by its Italian-Australian seafaring owners – a husband and wife team who double as professional superyacht captains and chefs – The Yacht House oozes the warm and rarefied ambience of an exclusive Circolo della Vela thanks to an abundance of nautical influences that both fire the imagination and sit entirely in harmony with Venice’s long-standing maritime heritage and history which, quite amazingly, saw a fully equipped galleon a day being constructed at the Arsenale at the height of its productivity in the 16th century. The Yacht House sleeps 6 (+1) guests in spectacularly elegant accommodation, guaranteeing luxury by the boatload and harbouring surprises at every turn.
Located centrally yet very privately just off Campo Santa Marina at the confluence of not 2 but 4 Venetian canals, the owners have raised the bar in bringing you a Venice experience like no other and have been all hands on deck in prepping this extraordinary property for its inauguration!
Tucked away within a stone’s throw of the house of legendary Venetian explorer Marco Polo, yet slap-bang in the middle of where you want to be (you’re at the Rialto Bridge in less than 5 minutes and St. Mark’s Square in less than 10), The Yacht House offers 3 nautically influenced en suite bedrooms within a sympathetically restored 2-storey building of the 15th and 18th centuries.
Retaining that inimitable aura and character of Venice past and present and rubbing shoulders with the Gothic palazzo where Casanova lived next door, the fully air-conditioned residence boasts underfloor heating in the 15th-century portions (i.e. the canal and garden-facing rooms with 5-metre ceilings) plus the unexpected bonus of a charming chill-out space a.k.a. the ‘Crew Tavern’ on the floor below.
Super-quick and thrilling to reach by private water taxi from Venice’s Marco Polo Airport to the dock on the Rio di Santa Marina just 50m (no bridges) from the house and ultra-conveniently situated at the meeting point of 3 Venetian sestieri – San Marco, Castello and Cannaregio – and therefore perfect for easy navigation and exploration on foot, The Yacht House is entered via a gorgeous internal secret courtyard garden and comprises:
2 flights of shallow steps fringing the corte and leading directly up to the...
2nd Floor main entrance doorways and hallway leading into the 18th-century section of the house and...
THE YACHT CLUB
A fabulously bright and sunny lounge room, including a huge sofa for relaxing, a kitchen & bar in traditional Yacht Club style and a beautiful dining space. The entire living space is furnished with warm herringbone parquet flooring underfoot and walls of polished walnut and is replete with a vast collection of fascinating maritime antiques and ephemera including a fleet of model sailing vessels, nautical history books, pictures and wall maps, plus a pair of photographic artworks by celebrated Hollywood cinematographer and photographer Maxime Alexandre from his first Venice exhibition... all lit by an array of antique ships’ lamps casting an atmospheric glow at night
A pair of glazed French double doors bathe the space in sunlight and open onto a splendid furnished balcony overlooking the rear of the Malibran Theatre and the numerous gondolas gently gliding along the Rio di San Lio canal below. An enormous custom-made deep-buttoned leather sofa looks across to a marble fireplace and brass-framed mirror TV, while a 19th-century 10-pin ship’s steering wheel made by Brown Brothers of Edinburgh and a signal light from an Imperial cruiser (used by ships to communicate in Morse code and today used for additional lighting) adorn the area just behind
To the opposite side of the room sits the dining suite hosting 8 at table, while the very well-equipped kitchen with its gleaming brass maritime bar stools, large pantry, and an abundance of SMEG appliances, icemaker for cocktails etc. etc. plus plenty of cookery books for inspiration, has the distinct feel of a favourite bar where everyone happens to know your name!
Just beyond the entrance sits a sliding ship’s door opening to reveal a vestibule hallway / lobby (with a light originally from a 19th-century Japanese oil-tanker engine room), a guest bathroom with shower and a handy laundry / utility room with washing machine and separate tumble dryer (perfect for longer stays or if staying as a stop-off on an extended tour)
Entered via a door featuring ‘port / starboard’ red and green glass panels, we come to...
THE CAPTAIN’S SUITE
(a.k.a. Bedroom 1)
A bright and welcoming double bedroom furnished with a nautical cupboard, a queen-size Cocomat design bed (180cm x 200cm) that can be split into twins at your request, a circular steamship mirror and antique maritime lighting (naturally!) plus a luxurious en suite bathroom with brushed bronze fittings and shower
Crossing over to the older 15th-century part of the building with 5m-high beamed ceilings we discover...
THE ADMIRAL’S SUITE
(a.k.a. Bedroom 2)
A huge, super-romantic double bedroom with a balcony sitting area and a wonderful wood and bronze staircase descending into the sleeping area below*. Furnished with a super king-size Cocomat design bed (200cm x 210cm) where you can drift off to sleep in silence, the room is flooded with diffused light streaming in from a pair of tall arched and leaded windows opening onto a charming and very peaceful neighbouring garden, while the impressively tall ceiling with highly decorated wooden beams and cornicing echo the building’s traditional framework
A Murano chandelier and a series of maps of the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily look down upon the fabulous freestanding copper and titanium English rolltop bathtub (what luxury!) while the opulent en suite bathroom with shower lies just beyond
Returning to the 2nd floor, stairs descend beneath a rectangular antique porthole* (originating from the bridge of an Italian transatlantic liner called ‘The Conte Grande’ launched in Trieste in 1927!), to the...
1st Floor where we enter...
THE COMMODORE’S SUITE
(a.k.a. Bedroom 3)
A true charmer of a spacious duplex beamed double bedroom overlooking the canal and the Malibran Theatre to the fore, with a pristine en suite bathroom with a ‘couples’ shower, walls in wood, a maritime map mural drawing the eye and a super king-size Cocomat design bed (200cm x 210cm) beneath the room’s sweet soppalco mezzanine level above which is furnished with writing desk and nautical sofa, which can be used as a single bed sleeping 1
A set of ‘hidden’ stairs lead down to the...
Crew Tavern
Possibly our favourite room in the entire house where you can cosy yourselves away and chill out to your heart’s content with your privacy guaranteed and without disturbing your fellow guests...
THE CREW TAVERN & POOL BAR
Dating back to the 1400’s and a room rarely seen in Venetian properties, a wonderfully inviting wooden-beamed hideaway with bar (hurrah!), perfect for partying or relaxing and skirted by gondolas passing at eye-level just outside your windows... ‘Premando / Stagando Oooeee!!!’
A warming refuge with underfloor heating in winter especially when hunkering down in front of its roaring gas fire and refreshingly cool in summer when escaping the heat of the day... play darts or pool with your family on the bespoke bronze-finished pool table that ingeniously converts into a dining table, or simply cast away your cares and put your feet up to watch the 75 inch TV in the comfort of the inviting leather sofa and armchair. Pour yourselves a cocktail or 3 from the bar (equipped with a double-temperature fridge for wine and beer, a sink and small glasswasher), while raising your chosen tipple to our swashbuckling hero, Corto Maltese**, just across the room!
Playroom, Party Room, Wine-Tasting Room, Games Room... the only limit in THIS room is your imagination!
Marshall Stereos with powerful and clear sound are featured in all bedrooms, in the lounge area and (of course) in the tavern. Easy connection via Bluetooth for your favourite music.
* Please bear in mind that the Admiral’s Suite and the Commodore’s Suite are both reached by a staircase
** Corto Maltese – the comic-book sea captain created by Hugo Pratt in 1967 and hero of the well-loved guide ‘The Secret Venice of Corto Maltese, Fantastic and Hidden Itineraries’
OUR COMMENT
A true ‘one-off’ Venetian house celebrating all the warmth and elegance of a traditional old-school yacht club, and a dreamy-deluxe haven for 3 discerning couples and larger gatherings.
Splendidly positioned close to the Rialto Bridge and the café-lined Campo Santa Maria Formosa yet hidden away from the tourist crowds – the best of both worlds!
Within a gentle stroll of the iconic sights and attractions of St. Mark’s Square (via numerous hidden and not-so-hidden routes!), along with a host of Venetian gems including the dainty marble jewel-box church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli (where you can also pick up a gondola!), the art-filled Fondazione Querini Stampalia and Museo Palazzo Grimani, and the cavernous Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, one of the largest churches in Venice and final resting place of no fewer than 25 Venetian doges.
Take your pick from a host of traditional bars and restaurants close by... from the upmarket Alle Testiere, L’Osteria di Santa Marina and Ristorante Vecia Cavana through to Osteria Alla Frasca, Osteria La Portego and Hosteria Bacanera... amongst numerous others!
A stone’s throw to a variety of shops for all your self-catering needs including 2 well-stocked COOP supermarkets (one steps away in Campo Santa Marina, the other on Salizada San Lio), a fruit and veggies stand in Campo Santa Maria Formosa, 2 further supermarkets at Rialto (a COOP and a Despar), along with the famous fish, fruit and vegetable markets just across the Rialto Bridge.
An easy walk to to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops for easy travel around the city – one at Rialto on the Riva Del Carbon and the other at Fondamenta Nove for trips to the beaches of the Lido and sightseeing 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 and the later Church of Santa Fosca.
Also close to the Alilaguna boat service connecting the city to Venice’s Marco Polo Airport (the Blu Line ‘Linea Blu’ to / from Fondamenta Nove or the Orange Line ‘Linea Arancio’ to / from Rialto).
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.

This apartment has recently been renovated and decorated to a top level. It is spacious and has great amenities. The kitchen is outfitted with anything you could need and a laundry room with a top quality washer and dryer. Makes longer stays so much easier. The bedding and bathroom have good quality linens.
The family space to gather was comfortable. Best part for my family was the tiny balcony where we could watch all the gondolas and boats pass. Really fun. The location is easy to get to and close to everything without being in a dense area. Great restaurant close by. |

It’s an extra but we would have loved toweling robes and slippers.

After 5 days here with my fiancée and parents, I can say this: it’s not just an Airbnb, it’s a love letter to Venice. Caterina welcomed us like old friends, waiting at the boat drop-off, then guiding us through the quiet streets, pointing out the best spots for coffee, groceries, and pastries. You feel instantly at ease. Then we stepped inside... and just exhaled. High ceilings, warm light, perfect details. This isn’t decoration, it’s devotion. You feel it. I’ve stayed in 5-star hotels worldwide. This is Top 3. The beds? Huge. Comfy enough to lose your partner in. Everything’s modern, spotless, perfectly located. We walked everywhere. Caterina gave us a hand-marked map with local gems and booked our taxi back to the airport so we could fully relax. Honestly? They should be charging more.

An oh-so-chic Grand Canal apartment with a contemporary-style interior
boasting iconic Venetian views that are thrillingly superior!
Gazing down on the jade-green waters gently lapping at its feet along that gorgeous stretch of the Canale Grande between the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th-century Venice and the Accademia Galleries / Bridge, and eagerly anticipating your arrival within the distinctive terracotta-accented 19th-century Palazzina Marioni * (an exquisite waterside palace designed by architect Lodovico Cadorin, restorer and decorator of rooms within Venice’s famous Caffè Florian in St. Mark’s Square no less), this sleek apartment sleeps 7 guests in pared-down patrician elegance on the 2nd floor of the palazzo in the very heart of Dorsoduro.**
Recently restored from top-to-toe and showcasing imaginative design and superbly crafted custom fittings, the fully air-conditioned apartment runs the entire depth of the palazzo and is dashingly decked out with all the mod-cons one could wish for.
Arrive by private water taxi directly at the palazzo’s private water door before indulging your inner ‘aristo’ as you make yourself at home!
Elevating your Venice holiday experience to dizzying new heights and offering gracious Venetian living within its 4 refined double bedrooms, accommodation is as spacious and flexible as it is unforgettable and comprises:
A bright and breezy main sitting room dressed in salvia green with a tropical pappagallo wall mural and showcasing traditional Venetian polished terrazzo flooring, a contemporary Murano chandelier overhead, a pair of sumptuous sofas in piped juicy mulberry velvet for lounging at your leisure not forgetting a pair of arched windows to the fore drawing your eye towards the truly mind-blowing Grand Canal views beyond
Just off the sitting room sits the stylish streamlined kitchen / dining room with sepia forest mural and feature fireplace – neat, well groomed, well equipped for light cooking and furnished with a dining suite for breakfasting each morning as the Grand Canal springs to life outside your windows, or gradually winds down at the close of each action-packed day
Accessed via a short internal hallway and peacefully situated to the side of the palazzo sits a relaxing double bedroom in easy-on the eye neutrals with terrazzo flooring, a double bed (which can be made into twins – simply request when booking) and a separate beautifully decorated bathroom with shower
A restful 2nd restful double bedroom to the side in similarly uncluttered style and furnished with a French-size bed sleeping one in comfort (or 2 up close!)
A stylish 3rd double bedroom overlooking the palazzo’s shaded private garden to the rear*** with floral feature wall and a Rococo-style double bed which can also be made into twins – again, simply request when booking
And also to the rear, a really rather unique 4th double bedroom with views of the garden...
… bright and airy, the room features warm wooden parquet flooring underfoot, a double bed, a cleverly concealed kitchen area to the rear with a simple dining table which can be folded and stowed away so freeing up all available space to the max – sheer genius!
And completing Ca’ Mainella’s much-adored accommodation (read its reviews!) a 2nd bathroom with ‘tapestry’ mosaic and bathtub with shower over
* Featured on the front cover of the book ‘I Silenzi di Venezia’ by Gian Antonio Cibotto and Giustino Chemello.
** Please note that the apartment is reached by stairs (no lift)
*** Featured as ‘Giardino Balboni a Dorsoduro’ in the book ‘Giardino Segreti a Venezia’ by Cristiana Moldi-Ravenna and Tudy Sammartini.
OUR COMMENT
A fabulous Grand Canal apartment majoring on quiet luxury and its great location and offering exceptional views extending all the way from the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art to the left, to the Accademia Bridge (beside our office) to the right, with VOV / Dimora Italia’s Palazzo Cerchieri right next door!
Within a stone’s throw of an excellent variety of interesting small shops, traditional bars and restaurants typical of Dorsoduro, including the canal-side Osteria Enoteca Ai Artisti, Ristorante Bakaro, Oniga, Osteria Alla Bifora, Ca’ Del Vento and Osteria Ai Pugni to name but a few… not forgetting the locals’ favourite Cantinone Gia Schiavi-Al Bottegon for super cicheti and Bar Alla Toletta for some of the tastiest tramezzini in town!
A gentle stroll to the ‘Barca Della Frutta e Verdure’ fruit and vegetable boat moored at the café-fringed Campo San Barnaba (don’t forget your camera!), a well-stocked 2-floor Conad supermarket in the lively Campo Santa Margherita for all your self-catering needs, and VOV / Dimora Italia’s very own ‘A Tavola’ Cooking School offering cooking lessons, wine tastings and a delightful private event space on the pretty Rio Della Romite canal... feel free to ask us for further details!
A short amble to the glittering Zattere waterfront with its fabulous panorama across the wide Giudecca Canal, and to the Squero San Trovaso – founded in the 17th century and the oldest of only a tiny handful of working gondola boatyards still left in Venice today, where skilled local artisans continue to craft, maintain and repair gondolas by hand using centuries-old methods.
Also conveniently close to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops – one at Accademia and the other at Ca’ Rezzonico – for hassle-free sightseeing and easy travel around the city.
***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.
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.

Few places can hold a candle to apartment Corte delle Candele,
Our dazzling duplex penthouse with ‘lofty’ credentials!
Peacefully positioned at the entrance to the tucked-away ‘Court of the Candles’ and named in remembrance of the candle-making artisan workshop that is thought to have existed in this authentic and highly evocative part of Cannaregio way back in the 15th/16th centuries, this ultra-spacious and totally ravishing top-of-the-house apartment hosts 7 guests in immaculate and thoughtfully reimagined surroundings.
Set right in the heart of one of our very favourite parts of the city...
...only steps away from the tranquil and timeless Rio de Santa Caterina canal, the long and scenic Fondamente Nove waterfront (where you can board the vaporetto (water bus) to Murano, Burano, Torcello, San Michele, the Biennale Pavilions at Giardini and Arsenale as well as the beaches of the Lido), not forgetting the spectacular Baroque Church of the Gesuiti* with its towering snow-white façade and statues of the apostles (indeed they’re one of the first sights to greet you as you sweep into Venice by private water taxi!)...
...Corte delle Candele comprises 4-bedroomed accommodation expertly configured to take advantage of some very special views on Venice!
An air-conditioned 2-floor duplex covering the building’s entire 3rd and 4th floors and reached via communal stairs to the 3rd floor followed by internal staircase to the 4th, the apartment boasts Wi-Fi and all the comforts of a contemporary home, and includes (starting at the top and working our way down):
Corte delle Candele’s private entrance leading into its hallway where an open-tread wooden staircase rises directly up and into the impressive, multi-functional, open-plan, loft-style sitting / kitchen-dining area with tall windows on 3 sides and a spectacular exposed-brick-and-timber ceiling giving the room incredible character and warmth despite its immense proportions and gloriously ‘open-to-the-skies’ aspect
There’s a compact yet well-equipped kitchen with everything required to cook up a Venetian feast (if you could only tear yourself away from the view of the onion-domed campanile of Santi Apostoli to the side – it’s a tough choice!), while a modern dining suite and informal sitting area with sofa just beyond gives everyone their own space to relax and unwind, and the contemporary stove (not in use) provides a further focal point as it reaches skywards towards the roofline
A pristine guest bathroom with laundry area to the fore houses a handy washing machine and separate tumble dryer allowing you to be ‘onward travel ready’ if visiting Venice as part of an extended tour, while...
A striking 3D-printed classical-style sculpture ‘Man on a Cube’ – inspired by a painting by Roberto Ferri and created by the talented 3D-artist apartment owners – ushers you towards Corte delle Candele’s sunlit 2nd sitting / tv room, home to a further sculpture by the talented brothers, polished wooden flooring, and a large L-shaped sofa where one can chill and hang out while taking in the view of St. Mark’s Campanile – that iconic symbol of La Serenissima – standing proudly in the distance above the topsy-turvy Venetian skyline...
Returning once again to the internal staircase we descend to the sleeping accommodation on the 3rd floor below, where guests can retire to one of the apartment’s 4 gorgeous double bedrooms of roughly equal size, each beautifully presented in restful colours with fine textiles and double beds...
A luxurious dual-aspect principal bedroom dressed in blues and gold with subdued lighting and a sparkling en suite ceramic-tiled bathroom with shower
An elegant 2nd bedroom presented in salvia-sage green and Bellini-peach pink
A delightful 3rd bedroom in sandy neutrals with accents of gold and...
A warm and inviting 4th bedroom in gold and toasty terracotta
...while a further bathroom in dove grey with twin wash-hand basins and shower completes the luxe accommodation
*The Church of the Gesuiti – famous for its amazingly ornate inlaid ‘tapestry’ marble, well worth a visit and possible the coolest place in Venice during the heat of the summer (if it’s open!)
OUR COMMENT
A superb ‘upside-down’ duplex of extraordinary character and style and a great choice for larger parties set away from the madding crowds....
… within a dreamy, much-loved district oozing traditional old-world charm and characterised by peaceful residential areas, wide and sunny canal-side ‘fondamente’ – including the Fondamenta de la Misericordia and de la Sensa – plus a host of historic landmarks including the spectacular fairy-tale Ca’ d’Oro, the ancient Jewish Ghetto and, just around the corner from Corte delle Candele, the little gem known as the Oratorio dei Crociferi, home to a wonderful cycle of paintings by Jacopo Palma il Giovane and founded in the 12th century by the religious order of the Crociferi as a hostel and resting place for pilgrims and crusaders.
Within a stone’s throw of a fabulous selection of local restaurants, osterie and bacari including the tricky-to-find and very charming Alla Frasca with its parasol / awning-topped terrace, the locals’ favourite Alla Vedova (hands down the best polpette in town!), the traditional Bepi Antico 54 da Loris, Ristorante Al Vecia Cavana (fine dining with resident pianist), Osteria Al Tajer, the laid-back Estate ai Crociferi (for a spritz in the cloistered courtyard of a former monastery!) plus the highly regarded Algiubagio fringing the Fondamente Nove – Venice’s northern waterfront overlooking the waters of the northern lagoon towards the distant snow-topped peaks of the Dolomite mountains.
Within an easy stroll of some of Venice’s most memorable churches including the dainty jewel-box Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Madonna dell’ Orto – final resting place of the painter Tintoretto who lived nearby.
Close to the Strada Nova where you find stores galore to satisfy all your shopping needs! plus a well-stocked Coop Supermarket at San Felice and another at the Giorgione cinema complex near Campo Santi Apostoli.
Convenient for 2 vaporetto stops for hassle-free travel around town – Ca’ d’Oro on the Grand Canal and Fondamente Nove just moments away.
Also, within a stroll of the traghetto at Campo Santa Sofia, which during operating times, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the Rialto Market (food-shopping heaven!) in the district of San Polo.
With no bridges to cross to the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the "Fondamente Nove" to Venice’s Marco Polo Airport.
