Residenza Altana Rialto

Una walk to shop among the stalls of Rialto is a tradition—and a small pleasure!—for those who, like us, are lucky enough to live in Venice. We stop by there today as well, also admiring the Grand Canal from the waterfront as we make our way to the spectacular property we are discovering today. Set in a strategic location, in the heart of the San Polo sestiere and just a few steps from the Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop, we find this magnificent and rare penthouse. The comfortable stairs lead us to the fourth floor, where a magical surprise awaits. The property, free on three sides, offers welcoming brightness and an exclusive south-facing panoramic altana, from which to enjoy a wonderful 360° view over all of Venice and its bell towers. Immediately struck by the character of the apartment and the ceilings almost 4 meters high, we admire the very bright and spacious open space, ready to host large dinners and evenings with friends, where you can cook the delicacies from the one-of-a-kind Rialto Market. The wonderful trusses and the many windows guide us to the romantic living room, enhanced by a charming fireplace, and together frame our surprise: the magical view of the steps of the Rialto Bridge and the bell tower of San Giovanni Elemosinario. A large double bedroom, two comfortable windowed bathrooms, and a laundry area complete the floor. Going up to the fifth and top floor, we find a large attic room ideal as a sitting room or study, and the convenient staircase leading to the splendid altana with a 360° view. The apartment, fully restored, features high-quality finishes and traditional Venetian details which, beautifully combined with modern comforts, the flexibility of its layout, and the altana with breathtaking views, make this property unique—ideal both as a wonderful primary residence and as a comfortable second home in the heart of Venice.
