In Venice’s prestigious San Marco district, close to St Mark’s Square, the Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, this 134 sqm penthouse is arranged over 3 levels on the 4th and top floor of an ancient Venetian building. The property offers 14 sqm of outdoor space, comprising a private terrace and a rare wooden Venetian altana, a panoramic rooftop solarium with 360-degree views of the Basilica’s domes, the Bell Tower and the city rooftops.
The entrance leads to a bespoke kitchen fitted with Gaggenau appliances and a bright reception room with historic exposed beams, fine parquet flooring and broad windows framing the Bell Tower. On the same level, the principal bedroom features bespoke wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi hydromassage bath. On the 5th floor, a study area connects the second double bedroom, also with an en-suite bathroom, to an attic room with a service WC. Via 3 steps, the first terrace, fitted with a masonry bench and accessed through large sliding glass doors, leads via a further 4 steps to the altana, an elegant open-air setting for aperitifs and sunset relaxation.
Wooden double-glazed windows, restored period beams and parquet floors create comfortable, quiet interiors. La Fenice Theatre, art galleries, boutiques and the Vallaresso and San Zaccaria waterbus stops complete the setting, with water links to Piazzale Roma, Santa Lucia railway station and Marco Polo Airport.
