Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This sprawling four-story home in the heart of Venice's Dorsoduro district provides a retreat from the bustle of the city. Just a few minutes from the Zattera waterfront and overlooking a town square, you're close to local-approved bars, eateries, and even one of the city's last gondola workshops. But location isn't all we love – this home enraptured us with its opulent style, too. Each room boasts its own decadent colour scheme to match the plush handcrafted Fortuny fabrics on show. Two single sofa beds keep sleeping options flexible. And while the antiques and lack of lift mean children aren't allowed, we think groups of friends will enjoy calling this place home.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on single sofa beds. These have their own rooms, although they lack storage space and are quite small.
This home is spread across four floors with no lift. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
You'll have your own private entrance here.
The heating is generally accessible from mid-October to mid-April, and the air conditioning from mid-April to mid-October.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. There are also antiques and expensive decorations, so it won't suit guests wanting a contemporary stay.

About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter. The majority of Ca' Foscari (the main university in the city) is in this area, so the people here skew young and trendy. It’s one of Venice’s best spots for nightlife, with crowds gathering in squares deep into the summer evenings.
