Frescoed Piano Nobile With A View Of Rialto In Venice

In the authentic heart of Venice, overlooking the most picturesque stretch of the Grand Canal and with a view of the Rialto Bridge, this spectacular apartment for sale is a rare example of architectural refinement and theatricality. Located on the second floor of a 16th-century Venetian palace, the property covers an area of approximately 365 sqm and combines the splendour of the past with contemporary design. Completely renovated with the highest quality finishes, the apartment stands out for its extraordinary layout, designed to host events, private parties and formal occasions: three sumptuous living rooms, a bar area with an entertainment console, rooms decorated with neoclassical frescoes, stuccoes, Murano chandeliers, and ceilings that are over five metres high. An unparalleled opportunity for those who dream of an impressive residence in the most scenic city in the world.

The property is located in the Cannaregio district, one of the most charming and authentic areas of Venice, a short walk from the Rialto Market and immersed in the lively urban fabric that mixes historic shops, Renaissance palaces, quiet streets and unparalleled views of the water. Its central and scenic location guarantees an extraordinary residential experience: you are at the heart of history, in direct contact with the beating soul of the lagoon city, with the possibility of accessing the property via the Grand Canal thanks to the building's private landing stage. The proximity to museums, galleries, gourmet restaurants and boutiques makes this area ideal for those seeking the privilege of living in Venice in style, without sacrificing comfort and discretion.

The building that houses this apartment is a wonderful example of Venetian architecture, with a noble façade overlooking the canal, embellished with three-light windows and Istrian stone cornices. The apartment occupies the second piano nobile, historically the highest level for decoration and representation, and has undergone careful restoration that has preserved its original solemnity while integrating contemporary elements and state-of-the-art systems. 

The entrance leads to a long, spectacular corridor, which gradually opens onto the main rooms, designed as a sequence of reception rooms: a dining room that can accommodate up to sixteen people, two spacious living rooms with spectacular views of the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge, an integrated bar, a DJ console and audio systems perfectly concealed within the architecture. The elegant and functional kitchen is custom-made and adjacent to a guest bathroom and service area. The master bedroom, facing the interior of the building, has a walk-in wardrobe and a private bathroom with fine marble. An internal staircase leads to a mezzanine with a second bedroom or study, complete with a bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The overall atmosphere of the interiors is that of an art and socialite's salon, where every detail has been designed to impress and fascinate: the Venetian terrazzo floors, solid wood doors, custom-made furniture, soft lighting and bold colour combinations convey a beauty that is never banal, but theatrical and sophisticated.

The apartment is surrounded by views of rare intensity: its big windows frame the movement of the gondolas, the reflection of the water and the majesty of the Venetian palaces. The elevated position guarantees natural light throughout the day and absolute privacy despite overlooking one of the most iconic and popular areas of the city. The materials and systems have been chosen with the utmost care: ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating, home automation systems, soundproofing, and a bespoke lighting design make this home an extraordinary place for those who wish to live or welcome guests in an extraordinary Venetian residence.

Buying this prestigious property in Venice means entering a world steeped in art, where every day can become a unique moment. Designed for those who love to entertain, gather and create atmospheres, this spectacular estate is perfect as a private home, a venue for receptions or a luxury pied-à-terre in the heart of the lagoon. A rare opportunity in a setting that is unique in the world, where beauty cannot be described: it must be experienced.
