Lavish is perhaps an understatement when it comes to this home in Dorsoduro. Set on the banks of the Grand Canal – with its very own vaporetto jetty, naturally – this exquisitely-designed residence boasts a sought-after location with breathtaking views to boot. You'll find it proudly perched on the first floor of the Palazzo Loredan dell'Ambasciatore, a Gothic palace dating back to the fifteenth century and the birthplace of two ancient Dukes of Venice, Leonardo and Francesco Loredan. Recently renovated, it offers a winning combination of authentic charm and state-of-the-art amenities. We especially love the spectacular marble balcony, offering a front-row seat to the Grand Canal's ebb and flow. Inside, it's a timeless symphony of terrazzo floors, lofty beamed ceilings and original Venetian Gothic windows, beckoning sunlight to flood the spacious rooms. With not one but three sitting rooms, extravagantly adorned with plush sofas and opulent light fixtures, this home implores you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous sleeping quarters, enjoy a feast in the breakfast room, prepared in the contemporary kitchen next door. Here, brushed oak units and marble surfaces flaunt Miele appliances and a Viking double oven, perfectly equipped for home cooks or should you wish, an in-house chef. There's even an ice machine, perfect for those impromptu cocktails, best served at sunset.

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.
