The Curator's Bounty Venice, Veneto

Property Description

If you’re in Venice to soak up the history, the museums and the classic Venitian architecture, then this apartment already has you covered before you even start sightseeing. The building is an old palazzo, backing onto the Grand Canal with its own door to the water, should you arrive by water taxi. The 15th-century gothic architecture had us feeling the Venice vibes as soon as we stepped inside. Exploring the grand rooms, there’s a collection of antiques worthy of the Doge’s Palace – from sparkling silver spoons to gilded books and trinket boxes. Silk sofas in the living room are not just easy on the eye, they’re plush and comfy to boot. And the antique bed frames and writing desks in the bedrooms are like living, working history. What’s more, the three bedrooms overlooking the owner’s private, walled garden for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Situated between the Accademia Bridge (a five-minute walk) and Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th Century Art (a three-minute walk), you’re in the heart of Venice’s gallery neighbourhood. The ancient streets around you are home to secret canalways lined with restaurants and bars too.
