Interior
Ground Floor
Your very own private front door leading into the entrance hallway with stairs rising to the 2nd floor (the top of the house) where we find the majority of the living and sleeping accommodation spread across one level.
The apartment’s entrance hallway with its atmospheric deep blue walls, at the centre of which, thrillingly, sits your very own pool table in red baize.
Plus a handy storage cupboard and a laundry room with utility sink and combined washing machine / tumble dryer – ideal for larger gatherings, longer stays or when visiting Venice as part of an extended tour
2nd Floor
A bright and elegant sitting / TV room where Venetian terrazzo flooring, a beamed ceiling and marmorino walls serve as a characterful backdrop to the large ochre-velvet sofa, raspberry-red seating and an exquisite wall-size panelled mirror lit softly by a gorgeous pair of golden shell-shaped silk lamps. Abundant light streams into the room from the pair of floor-to-ceiling glazed French doors opening onto a wrought-iron Juliet balcony overlooking the salizada below and which combined serve as an enormous picture frame for the pretty serliana windows adorning the palazzetto opposite
Overlooking the peaceful rear of the dimora and dressed in similarly delightful fashion, a warm and welcoming semi-separate dining space where, lit by a rather splendid rectangular pleated-silk ceiling lamp, a photographic portrait of a distinguished gentleman in period attire with ruff (who some of you might recognise!) holds court at the head of the large oval glass-topped dining table
Just to the side of the open dining area sits the well-equipped kitchen / breakfast room showcasing wooden parquet flooring, bespoke cabinetry with integrated wine cooler, streamlined units with SMEG and Siemens appliances, and a breakfast area with upholstered L-shaped banquette seating and breakfast table lit by a traditional garnet-red Murano glass chandelier suspended from the timbers above.
A guest bathroom flamboyantly dressed in black marble and Cole & Son’s Afrika Kingdom wallpaper – endlessly fascinating! – with wash-hand basin and loo.
Returning to the sitting room at the front of the house, on one side we discover a beamed 1st double bedroom with double bed and inbuilt wardrobe, gorgeous Little Greene ‘Bird and Bluebell’ wallpaper (a design created from fragments of wallpaper found in the 17th-century Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk – a little slice of Old England in Venice!) and a space where the plush fabrics in a striking colour combination illustrate, to utterly charming effect, that ‘blue and green should always be seen!’ The pristine en suite bathroom has a shower and is beautifully presented in matching green with marble fittings
To the opposite side of the sitting room, we come to the beamed 2nd double bedroom exquisitely attired in playful botanical wallpaper and fabric and with its own private entrance vestibule, a pair of inbuilt wardrobes and a total of 5 windows overlooking the salizada. Twin beds (which can be made into a double at your request) are beautifully upholstered in cerulean blue and vivid tangerine, while a series of framed ornithological prints grace one of its walls and the sparkling en suite bathroom with shower is a picture in green marble
To the rear of the apartment, we find the calm, restful and very grown-up principal double bedroom in elegant duck-egg blue and burnt orange with wooden parquet floor, bespoke cabinetry, a pair of concealed wardrobes with mirrors to the rear of the double bed, and a rather stately en suite bathroom in cool grey with twin wash basins and shower in gorgeous russet-red marble, and a luxurious bathtub for some relaxing ‘me time’ prior to your next social event
And to the centre of this floor enjoying a side view over the peaceful Salizada Malipiero, the apartment’s adorable beamed 4th double bedroom, masterfully presented in tranquil shades of teal blue and silvery sage with opulently upholstered double bed (which can be made into twins at your request), a mirrored wardrobe adding additional light and a sense of space to the room, a series of framed botanical prints and a splendid en suite bathroom in matching colours with shower and hexagonal ceramic tiling
Returning to the sitting room and descending the stairs to the
1st Floor
The charisma and very characterful 5th double bedroom decorated in lively apricot, orange, and bold taupe stripes, with whitewashed beams, wooden flooring, a double bed with a concealed wardrobe, a contemporary chaise longue, and a cocooning en suite bathroom in terracotta with shower
The 6th double bedroom enjoying an evocative view over the salizada to the front and yet another complete joy of a sleeping space – light, bright, fabulously dressed in dramatic deep ocean-green and ivory stripes and showcasing whitewashed beams, wooden flooring, twin beds in sumptuous blue velvet (which can be made into a double at your request), inbuilt wardrobes and an incredibly stylish en suite bathroom in matching colours with shower (2 steps up) and sparkling hexagonal ceramic tiling.
