Ca' Grassi 1

Three newly revamped apartments in a pretty, salmon-pink, antique palazzetto within the calm and cultured setting of upmarket San Samuele.


Elegantly attired in a classic, homely style and peacefully positioned within a genteel neighbourhood dotted with galleries and antique shops well clear of the hustle and bustle yet close to Campo Santo Stefano, these inviting apartments are of differing sizes and sleep up to 10 guests when taken together.


Just a few steps from the renowned Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art in a parish that legendary lover Casanova called home, the palazzetto offers a stylish address to rest easy within a short and pleasant stroll of the many attractions of St. Mark’s Square.


Moments from the illustrious Palazzo Mocenigo on the Grand Canal (the one time Venetian bolthole of ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ British romantic poet and literary figure, Lord Byron) and boasting air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and a warm and welcoming ambience in each, the Ca’ Grassi apartments comprise:


Ca’ Grassi 1 (Sleeps 4 on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs – no lift)


Communal palazzetto entrance with stairs rising up to the apartment entrance


• Tranquil, light and airy and situated to the rear of the palazzetto – a spacious and tastefully furnished sitting/dining room freshly decked out in an attractive powder blue and with Venetian terrazzo flooring, tall windows, a pair of comfy sofas and a dining table for 4


• A compact yet well-equipped kitchen with fitted units and all the necessary appliances for self-catering


• Two quietly elegant double bedrooms, both with double beds: a spacious principal bedroom dressed in mint green Marmorino and the second more compact in ivory


And completing the accommodation

• Two tiled and freshly refurbished bathrooms, one with bathtub and the other with large shower



* Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close to each other but in separate apartments? We offer 2 other apartments in this Venetian palazzetto (little palace): Ca’ Grassi 2 (on the 2nd Floor) and Ca’ Grassi 3 (on the 3rd Floor)



OUR COMMENT


A popular, newly refreshed and brilliantly placed residence for 4 situated right beside ‘Casa Veronese’ (once the home of the 16th-century Italian Renaissance painter, Paolo Veronese).


Within steps of the neighbourhood grocery store/delicatessen, a wine shop, a range of cafes/osterie (including those fringing the nearby Campo Santo Stefano), plus the gallery of interior designer Chiarastella Cattana - a discreetly sophisticated showroom of fine and distinctively woven textiles and furnishings – and, for scent-lovers, the Venice outlet of the famous Florentine ‘Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’ (one of the oldest pharmacies in the world and one time fragrance maker to Catherine de’ Medici).


A stone’s throw to the Accademia Bridge crossing the Grand Canal over to Dorsoduro and conveniently close the vaporetto (water bus) stops at San Samuele and Sant' Angelo for easy travel around the city, and to the ‘traghetto’ gondola ferry which, during operating times, carries passengers across the Grand Canal between Calle Del Tragheto (near Sant’ Angelo) and San Toma in the district of San Polo.
