Majestic Historical Penthouse With Panoramic Terraces In Venice

Set in the magical surroundings of the Castello district, just a few minutes’ pleasant stroll from St Mark’s Square, this property stands out for its extraordinarily spacious layout and the unique privilege of a separate entrance: a feature that is virtually unheard of, lending a strictly private character to both the entire stairwell and the lift, ensuring discreet and private access. Currently designed with a versatile layout that accommodates seven bedrooms across its 550 sqm of interior space, the residence lends itself magnificently both as a single, majestic stately home and for conversion into elite hospitality facilities, capable of accommodating a large number of guests whilst ensuring maximum comfort and absolute privacy.

The penthouse crowns the top floor of a prestigious period building, overlooking the tranquil waters of the picturesque Rio dei Greci. A recent and meticulous restoration has successfully brought out the building’s aristocratic spirit, creating a perfect blend of the charm of the past and the comforts of the present. The interiors are a true tribute to fine craftsmanship: highlights include the elegant Venetian terrazzo floors, the exquisite inlaid parquet flooring reminiscent of the Art Deco style of the Roaring Twenties, as well as magnificent frescoes and decorative stucco work that adorn the ceilings. The avant-garde aesthetic blends harmoniously with the building’s historic character thanks to the integration of state-of-the-art heating systems and the convenience of the private lift, entirely dedicated to ensuring smooth and effortless movement between floors.

The interiors have been masterfully designed to maximise the extraordinary natural light that floods the residence, a feature of inestimable rarity within the dense fabric of Venice’s city centre. The beating heart of the estate comprises grand reception rooms, where the large windows frame evocative views of the water, shifting like paintings as the day progresses. The generously proportioned living areas complement minimalist, fully equipped kitchens, perfect for moments of lively conviviality. The sleeping area, designed to accommodate up to fourteen people, comprises seven quiet bedrooms, each served by elegant, finely appointed bathrooms, offering a cosy atmosphere and exclusive materials in every room.

The true privilege of this property is revealed outdoors, unveiling a luxury that is extremely rare in the city’s property market. Its two panoramic terraces offer a generous floor area of approximately 50 sqm in total, entirely dedicated to relaxation in the open air. These exclusive spaces, suspended above the UNESCO World Heritage Site, allow you to take in an unrivalled horizon, made up of terracotta rooftops, soaring bell towers and the iconic domes of the Serenissima. It is the ideal setting for intimate breakfasts caressed by the morning breeze or elegant dinners at sunset, whilst admiring the magical reflections of light on the lagoon’s waters in total and absolute privacy.
