Venice Downtown Apartments: Giustinian-Faccanon terrace

A unique residence in San Marco, in a 15th century palace. A magnificent terrace overlooking the rooftops in the heart of the lagoon

Is there something more unique than buying apartments in the historic center of Venice with a terrace from which you can admire one of the most beautiful cities in the world?


Among the apartments in Venice San Marco, there is a property that deserves a special mention. We are in a context of great historical value such as Palazzo Giustian Faccanon, built by the Giustinian family in 1400 and subsequently restored by Cav. Antonio Faccanon. Hence the current name of the building which on the fourth and fifth floors houses a more unique than rare property.

It is no coincidence that the Venetian nobleman Gianjacopo Fontana, author of a famous book on the most famous palaces in Venice for history and art, cites Palazzo Giustian Faccanon, underlining that the latter: "had the staircase erected modern, with some statues of fine chisel on the balustrades […] a terrace crowned by balustrades and statues; he added a specula to the height of the domes of San Marco ".

We are, in fact, in the most famous district of Venice, a few steps from that San Marco square which is the true heart of the lagoon. But also the Teatro La Fenice and the Rialto Bridge are around the corner. All symbolic places of Venice, as iconic is the DNA of this residence. Among the Venice San Marco apartments this is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and noble.

Once you reach the floor with the elevator, the house has two entrances. On the left, you immediately enter a monumental hall, with wonderful floor decorations, and you immediately get the impression of the grandeur and exclusivity that this property can offer. But even more incredible is the terrace mentioned by the Fontana, which presents to the eyes a unique view over the rooftops of Venice.


In addition to the living room - served by a study room and a large bathroom - there is a dining room, a main kitchen, a master bedroom and another bedroom, each with its own en suite bathroom. Valuable elements characterize the rooms, such as the play of beams that we see in the kitchen and in the master bedroom, or like the marble arches in the latter's bathroom.

In the right wing of the property there are two more bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite), another kitchen with its living room. Yet another peculiarity of the dwelling is the access to the panoramic tower and the roof terrace, elements that can only be found in the noblest contexts.

The location of this Venice San Marco apartment is not only prestigious, it is also of unparalleled comfort, since from here you can reach any area of ​​Venice in a few minutes. It is an ideal location to live and visit Venice.

It should be remembered that the historic center of the Serenissima is highly coveted for the quality of life, the lack of traffic, as well as the proximity to essential services. But an apartment in Venice San Marco like this one has all the credentials for a successful investment, thanks to the hospitality and representation opportunities that the property can guarantee.

Among the many beauties of our country, Venice plays a leading role. It is no coincidence that it is often the privileged, even unique, destination of those who experience a trip to Italy. But it is also a place of return for those who love its uniqueness and its views. It can also be a place to live surrounded by splendor on a daily basis. For all these reasons, the apartment we are talking about today is undoubtedly an opportunity not to be missed, an opportunity that, thanks to the professionals of Engel & Völkers Venice, it is possible to visit and appreciate in person.
