Majestic piano nobile with altana and canal view

Inside a historic 14th-century Venetian palace, we find this wonderful Piano Nobile with canal view and, on the upper floor, a charming attic apartment with a spectacular altana. The palace is located in Cannaregio, in an area adjacent to Campo San Giovanni Grisostomo and the Malibran Theatre, more precisely in a fascinating and ancient, atmospheric and secluded courtyard where quiet reigns, far from the busiest calli. Access is from the courtyard up an ancient marble staircase, and once through the external entrance door you reach the Piano Nobile; from the entryway you immediately step into Venetian charm, overwhelmed by an authentic beauty: the classic tripartite layout consisting of a splendid, spacious main hall with typical Venetian flooring, a ceiling almost four metres high, 18th-century stuccoes and three-light windows through which a warm light enters, illuminating the entire room. From the classic little balcony of the Piano Nobile one can admire an enchanting view over a typical canal, with a beautiful glimpse of the Grand Canal. From the hall you proceed to a splendid library and then three bedrooms with original Venetian floors, a bathroom and a laundry room, forming the sleeping area of the apartment. On the other side of the hall there is another large room currently used as a study, the dining room and then the kitchen. These are also enchanting areas with original Venetian floors, spaces suited to different functions depending on one’s needs. To access the attic apartment, you leave the Piano Nobile, go up a few steps and enter a very distinctive and evocative space. The attic is enhanced by exposed beams and a high ceiling of at least three metres, making the entire surface highly usable. The generous space comprises a comfortable living area, followed by a pleasant dining area ideal for dinners with friends and family. In another area, down a few steps, there is a kitchenette and another table for quicker meals or morning breakfasts. Going back up and continuing, there is a bedroom with original Venetian flooring, a quiet place perfectly suited to rest. The whole is completed by a bathroom and another space to be used as a study or as desired according to needs. The distinctive feature of this extraordinary apartment is the altana, reachable via a convenient wooden staircase; from here opens a breathtaking panoramic view over Venetian rooftops, churches and bell towers. The entire palace, with its two extraordinary residences, has significant historical resonance; it is ideal as a main residence for those who love beauty and Venetian character, or as a second home for those who wish to spend short periods in a charming jewel of a palace in astonishing, magical Venice.
