Hayez’s Water Gate

Just steps from Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini and Campo San Polo, this elegant property boasts a privileged view over the canal and a rare, romantic private water entrance.

A place of unique history and charm: the apartment is located next to the house where the celebrated painter Francesco Hayez was born, one of the leading figures of nineteenth-century Italian painting. This detail makes the property even more special, immersed in the intimate, peaceful Venice that has inspired artists and travellers throughout the ages.

With its own independent entrance, the home welcomes you with an enchanting living area opening directly onto the romantic rio, complete with a kitchenette and an atmosphere of rare allure.

The true star of the home is its enchanting private water entrance, an exclusive outlook over the rio offering a privileged, authentic relationship with the water. Sitting here, sipping coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at sunset while the light reflects on the canal’s surface, is a profoundly Venetian experience: a rare privilege capable of transforming every everyday moment into a small ritual.

On the left side of the living room are a first double bedroom, featuring exposed beams and served by an elegant en-suite bathroom, a second complete bathroom with a window overlooking the water, and a comfortable second double bedroom.

On the right side of the living area is a spacious third double bedroom, also with a private bathroom, designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy.

The property is completed by a large attic space, currently used as a convenient storage room.

The apartment has been completely renovated, with particular attention to comfort, and is equipped with state-of-the-art systems, including underfloor heating, as well as a tank insulation system and septic tanks.

An ideal property both as a second home in the heart of Venice and as a valuable investment in one of the city’s most fascinating and authentic areas.
