Ground Floor – A Grand Welcome
Enter through a gracious entrance hall served by both staircase and elevator. This level features the main kitchen and the Cavanna, a former boathouse transformed into a dramatic vaulted room. Flexible and atmospheric, it is ideal for shared meals, intimate gatherings, music, cinema evenings, or small celebrations. Beyond the Cavanna, guests will find a small gym, a bathroom with shower, and a heated indoor pool/hot tub with direct access to a pocket garden—an unexpected luxury in the heart of Venice.
First Floor – Light, Views, and Terrace Living
Reached by stairs or elevator, the first floor offers a second kitchen, a dining room, and two inviting living rooms. Two bedrooms—a king and a twin—each feature private bathrooms with walk‑in showers. Three sets of doors open onto a generous terrace overlooking the canals, a magical spot for breakfast, aperitivo, or simply watching the light shift across the water.
Second Floor – Suites with Venetian Charm
This level includes a king bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with en‑suite bathrooms. A larger suite with a king bed and an additional single enjoys canal views, a Turkish bath, and a private shower. The master bedroom features its own balcony and a spacious bathroom with both bathtub and walk‑in shower.
