In the enchanting San Polo district, just a few steps from the Rialto Market, lies Calle dei Boteri, whose name derives from the ancient craft of the boteri, artisans specialising in the construction of barrels, bottles and vats. They gathered for their activities in their own Scuola, strategically located near the banks of the main commercial landing points: Riva de l’Ogio (Oil Quay) and Riva del Vin (Wine Quay).
Walking along Calle dei Boteri, we reach a picturesque bridge leading to the captivating palazzo that is the subject of our visit.
Its imposing waterside façade, belonging to a 14th-century building of Gothic origin, immediately captures the eye, conveying all the charm of the most authentic Venice.
We enter the entrance hall and comfortably climb the stairs to the apartment, located on the third floor.
We are immediately welcomed by splendid natural light. The corridor leads to the spacious living room, a characterful and distinctive space that transports us on a fascinating journey through time. Elegant Gothic windows frame views of rare beauty, while the dual access to the kitchen enhances its functionality and versatility.
The dining area, positioned directly opposite the magnificent bifora overlooking the canal, harmoniously completes the living area, offering a unique setting and making every moment of conviviality an unforgettable experience.
The sleeping area comprises two generously sized bedrooms, while a recently renovated bathroom with a window completes the interior.
The hypnotic reflections of the water, the fine Venetian terrazzo flooring, the Gothic windows, the exposed beams and the distinctive character of every room make this property a true Venetian dream, where history, elegance and charm blend in perfect harmony.
Completing the property is a convenient ground-floor storage room, a valuable accessory space that makes this residence ideal both as a principal home and as an exclusive pied-à-terre in the heart of Venice.
