Entering from the private courtyard, one’s attention is drawn to an ancient wellhead, typical of Venetian residences. Yet the gaze soon moves to the staircase, whose windows frame the marble decorations on the side façade of the Church of the Miracles, seemingly inviting us to climb to the second floor and discover this magnificent apartment.
Once across the threshold, behind a skilful arrangement of airy wooden screens designed to define the entrance conceptually, we can already glimpse the lights of the picturesque square below, onto which the living-room windows look. Only when we reach the spacious terrace do we realise the privilege of being able to admire, from above and as if from a theatre box, one of the most authentic parts of the historic centre.
Returning indoors, we can finally pause to appreciate the care with which every detail has been finished and harmoniously combined with the Venetian elements: the light wood of the parquet contrasting with the original exposed beams, the shades of the walls alongside the stone features, and finally the furnishings’ fabrics, which echo Venice’s trade with the East.
The apartment’s layout, comprising a bedroom, a beautiful bathroom and a living area, appears perfectly balanced in the dialogue between the intimacy of the interior spaces and the vitality of the exterior ones, between the windows overlooking the courtyard and the terrace facing the square.
If you are looking for an elegant and exclusive property, you will certainly appreciate this residence, which immediately allows you to imagine living in Venice, wandering through its narrow lanes, visiting La Fenice or the Biennale, knowing that you have an intimate and welcoming place to return to.
