An extraordinary and rare opportunity to own a true work of art: one of Venice's most famous and iconic palaces, a true symbol of history, art and prestige. Ca' Dario, built in 1489 by Giovanni Dario, Venetian ambassador to the court of Sultan Mehmed II, is an architectural masterpiece that combines Renaissance elegance, Venetian charm and timeless refinement.
After complete restoration work concerning the roof, façade, foundations and structural reinforcements, the palace maintains its original 500-year-old structure, enriched by large reception rooms, versatile rooms and historical period details. The residence features two noble floors, a magnificent decorated staircase, a library, service quarters and a panoramic terrace. The outdoor areas include an enclosed garden and a private dock directly on the Grand Canal, ideal for those who want to experience Venice in style and privacy. The interior layout includes majestic halls such as the Sala Maometto, dining rooms and sitting rooms with balconies overlooking the Grand Canal, bedrooms with private bathrooms and spaces dedicated to study and reading. Every architectural detail tells the story of Giovanni Dario, a man of culture, merchant and diplomat, who designed Ca' Dario as the perfect fusion of private residence, place of representation and symbol of 15th-century Venetian magnificence.
Located in the prestigious Dorsoduro district, between the Salute and St Mark's Square, in an area historically favoured by illustrious personalities and foreign residents, Ca' Dario is a unique building offering an exclusive and unparalleled Venetian lifestyle experience. Every corner reflects the art, history and culture of a city that has been a link between East and West for centuries. Ca' Dario is not just a property: it is a piece of history, a noble residence with deep roots and a bright future, perfect for those seeking elegance, prestige and an authentic connection with the most exclusive Venice.
After San Marco, the Dorsoduro district is the one where important museums are concentrated, among which we remember: the Accademia Gallery, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, and the Punta della Dogana museum - François Pinault Foundation. The squero di San Trovaso and Campo Santa Margherita are also worth a visit, a meeting place for Venetians and students.
The property is located in the heart of the Dorsoduro district, a few steps from the Chiesa della Salute, and very close to the Peggy Guggenheim museum and the Punta della Dogana-Francois Pinault exhibition.
