In the evocative Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini, in the sestiere of Santa Croce, a few steps from the San Stae stop, there is a fascinating example of the Renaissance architecture that still characterizes Venice today. Among these stands out Ca' Barbaro, on whose coat of arms it is still possible to read the motto “Malo mori quam foedari”, that is, “I would rather die than be dishonored”.
Leaving the campo, we reach a quiet fondamenta where the charming residence we present today stands.
We cross the well-kept condominium entrance hall and go up the comfortable stone stairs with Venetian terrazzo flooring to the fourth and top floor. Crossing the threshold, we are welcomed by an extremely bright apartment, full of charm and authentic details.
The entrance leads to the dining area, dominated by a majestic fireplace that gives the room a warm and refined atmosphere, evoking intimate dinners lit by candlelight. The traditional exposed beams guide the eye toward the spacious living room, a welcoming and versatile space, ideal both for relaxing moments and for entertaining friends and family.
The enchanting view of Ca' Pesaro and the evocative architectural details make the bedroom, too, a retreat of rare elegance and tranquility. The study, caressed by the light of sunset, highlights the delicate floral motifs that decorate the ceiling, giving the room a timeless charm.
But the true jewel of the property is revealed outside: a magnificent panoramic altana, from which a 360° view opens over the rooftops and monuments of the city. As the sun sets, Venice lights up with golden and pink hues, offering a scene of incomparable beauty to be admired with a glass of wine in hand.
The property is completed by a practical and versatile storage room and a windowed bathroom that enjoys an evocative view of St. Mark’s Campanile.
A truly rare property, an oasis of peace in the heart of Venice, ideal both as an exclusive pied-à-terre and as a prestigious investment. Overlooking the city’s rooftops, every room offers breathtaking glimpses and provides multiple possibilities of use thanks to a functional and extremely harmonious layout.
