About this property
Perched on the mezzanine floor of a 15th-century Palazzo, Canal Serenata is a remarkable Grand Canal residence where history, art, and family life converge. Bathed in the ever-shifting aquamarine reflections of the canal, the apartment showcases hand-painted walls by renowned artist Paola Angoletta, echoing with memories of childhood laughter and milestones. Accommodation comprises three en suite bedrooms, comfortably sleeping six guests, each with its own distinct personality—from the deep amarone principal suite with a gold-accented rolltop bathtub to the Savoy blue and tangerine garden-facing room with Juliet balconies.
The interior spaces are a masterclass in design and craftsmanship. The dual aspect sitting room offers spectacular Grand Canal views through seven forward-facing windows, framed by velvet sofas, antique armchairs, and Murano glass details. Adjacent, the open-plan dining room and kitchen, draped in cinnabar red with Marco Polo-inspired murals, features a bespoke marble-topped kitchen, integrated appliances, and a brass breakfast bar perfect for evening aperitivi. Rich parquet floors, antique rugs, and curated art pieces throughout enhance the apartment’s elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
Outside, Canal Serenata sits in the heart of Dorsoduro, sharing the waterfront with historic palaces, rose gardens, and cultural landmarks, while being moments from lively squares, cafés, and boutique shops. With direct water taxi access to the palazzo’s private canal entrance, this exquisite residence combines Venetian grandeur with intimate family comfort, offering an immersive experience where every day reveals a new facet of Venice.
Canal Serenata graces the banks of the Grand Canal, offering an exceptional position in one of Venice’s most historic and beautiful palazzos. The property lies in the heart of Dorsoduro, a charming district known for its artistic spirit, winding canals, and authentic Venetian character. Step outside and discover narrow cobbled streets lined with galleries, artisan boutiques, and traditional bacari serving local wines and cicheti. It’s a place where daily life unfolds to the gentle sound of oars on the water and the scent of freshly brewed espresso drifts through the air.
A short stroll leads to the Campo San Barnaba, home to the famous floating fruit and vegetable boat, while the lively Campo Santa Margherita offers shops, cafés, and a bustling morning market. Cooking enthusiasts can join a private class or wine tasting at a nearby cooking school on the Rio Della Romite canal, immersing themselves in the culinary traditions of Venice.
The Zattere waterfront is moments away, offering breathtaking views across the Giudecca Canal, and the historic Squero San Trovaso gondola workshop reveals the craftsmanship behind Venice’s iconic boats. With vaporetto stops close by, Canal Serenata is perfectly placed for exploring the city’s art, history, and timeless beauty.
