Il Doge

A spectacular 6,000 sq ft 'piano nobile' in one of the most impressive Grand Canal palazzi in the entire city, offering exceptional levels of style and luxury coupled with breathtaking Grand Canal views stretching from the 'volta del canal' at Ca' Foscari to the Accademia Bridge and beyond.

Located in the Dorsoduro area in a wonderfully commanding position opposite Francois Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and between the Accademia Bridge/Academy of Fine Arts and the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th Century Art, the apartment lies within a 15th Century gothic palazzo ', the birthplace of not one, but two, ancient Doges of Venice.  

Offering memorable accommodation for up to twelve guests, the apartment is on the second floor served by lift and has a Grand Canal water entrance for convenient arrivals, departures and sightseeing trips by water taxi.

Undoubtedly opulent and highly exclusive, yet by the same token supremely comfortable, the apartment has three sumptuous living areas (one of which leads onto a stunning furnished terrace or 'loggia' with characteristic Venetian Gothic 'Trifora' archways overlooking the Grand Canal), a formal dining room also with Grand Canal views and a fully fitted kitchen. To complement the reception space, there are three beautiful double bedrooms each with its own en suite bathroom, three/four smaller bedrooms with two bathrooms and a laundry room.

Superlatives fly off the tongue - rich Fortuny fabrics, historic Zuber hand block printed wallpaper, rare antique furnishings, Murano glass chandeliers and a Steinway Grand set the scene, while all the modern accoutrements one would expect (including LCD flat screen, satellite tv,Bang and Olufsen sound system, wireless broadband internet connectionand air conditioning in all bedrooms) take the historic surroundings right into the 21st century.

The ultimate choice for discerning guests seeking perfection and privacy within a property of the highest calibre. Daily maid service included. Breakfast service and 24 hr butler service on request.
