Descrizione
The ULTIMATE in refinement and elegant living, with views that must surely be second to none!
Directly overlooking St. Mark’s Basilica, St. Mark’s Square and the Campanile towering tall, it’s with barely contained excitement that we welcome Due Leoni…
… A property that made us all gasp in astonishment, to describe it as ‘stunning’ would be an understatement to say the least!
Hosting 6 astute guests in trip-of-a-lifetime surroundings and (almost!) rubbing shoulders with the Torre dell’ Orologio (Clock Tower) next door, the 4 bedroom Due Leoni is as rare as it is ravishing and is bright, uplifting and exceptional throughout.
Classically furnished with grace and panache and on the 4th floor served by lift, the air-conditioned* apartment boasts gorgeous wooden parquet flooring while its walls are adorned with period paintings and prints.
‘Take-your-breath-away-wonderful’ and including Wi-Fi, the accommodation comprises -
- An airy and spacious south-facing sitting / dining room with ample comfortable seating, a beautiful Aubusson-style rug, and an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling glazed doors opening directly onto the long furnished terrace overlooking the Basilica… take a browse through its photo gallery - need we say more!
- A cosy library / relaxation area with sofa to the side where the TV, though just the thing for chilling out during downtime, inevitably ‘plays second fiddle’ to the splendid vista outside
- A streamlined, modern galley-style kitchen - well-equipped and found just to the rear of the sitting room
- A quietly elegant master bedroom to the front of the apartment with a double bed and 3 floor-to-ceiling glazed doors opening onto the terrace enjoying eye-level views towards the Basilica’s famous bronze horses and extending down to the waters of the Bacino beside the Doge’s Palace
- A beautifully presented double bedroom to the rear with double bed and a few steps leading up to an en-suite bathroom with shower
- Two very pretty chintzy single bedrooms to the middle of the apartment (and on opposite sides), one with an en-suite bathroom with shower
- A separate bathroom with bathtub to the very rear of the property, & completing the apartment…
- A laundry room with combined washing machine/dryer, ideal for longer stays
* Present in all main rooms with the exception of the kitchen
Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation. Generally, the heating works from middle of October to middle of April, while air conditioning works between middle of Aprile to middle of October. Please contact us for further information.
OUR COMMENT
100% Chic and entirely unique - one of the most remarkable rental properties in Venice today.
Standing in the iconic beating heart of ‘La Serenissima’ - St. Mark’s Square - where, at night, the orchestras of the world-famous Gran Caffe Quadri and Caffe Florian conjure up a truly magical atmosphere (music is dependent on weather and season!), while the pink and white marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness.
A short stroll to the Rialto Bridge crossing the Grand Canal and within easy reach of 2 well-stocked supermarkets for all your self-catering requirements - one at Salizada San Lio and the other at Rialto - and to the vaporetto (water bus) stops at San Zaccaria and Vallaresso for simple and convenient travel around town.
For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.

Central location and amazing view!

Apart from the incredible location right at the piazza, the apartment was very spacious and comfortable for my family. Having a lift in the building (although very small and old) was a plus as well.
The view was also incredible - almost unreal!

Located at the center means plenty of noise - different bells from nearby towers ring until midnight and start ringing from very early in the morning, so this may wake you up especially if you sleep in the main masters bedroom.

Located at the center means plenty of noise - different bells from nearby towers ring until midnight and start ringing from very early in the morning, so this may wake you up especially if you sleep in the main masters bedroom.
The noise from tourists enjoying the piazza late at night can also be heard quite well if you are in the livingroom and masters bedroom, so if you are a light sleeper, this may affect your stay. |

Great apartment, breakfast and evenings overlooking the action on St Marks. Couldn't be better located or have a better view unless it was on top of the cathedral itself.

We had been to Venice many times in different places and locations. It is hard to imagine that there is place in Venice that would have a cooler location. Besides of the flat itself that is very nice, with a very nicely equipped kitchen (You will be tempted to cook yourself, having that balcony over S. Marco) you are always very near to anything you could think of in Venice. Should You wish to do so, you can always return "home" for a break and be "back on the road" refreshed and rested.
The VoV-staff has been very helpfull troughout the planing, booking and stay. |

I realise the entrance is a public space for all tenants of the building but a bit of effort to make it look less grim could be an idea a simple new coat of paint on the walls could work!

The apartment was beautiful and the location is amazing. The large balcony is amazing and a lot of time was spent on the balcony which is a stone's throw from San Marco. The apartment was very clean,and everything looked very new. The bathrooms are clean and there are 2 showers and 1 bath tub with a handheld shower. We hasd the daily cleaning service and clean towels. The only negative things I could say was that there was no placed to hang any used towels if you did not get the daily towel service. There was not even a place for the hand towels next to the sinks. The bathrooms were small but clean.

Un antico palazzo lungo canale a pochi minuti da Piazza San Marco. Nascosto sul lato terra all’interno della Corte Rubbi, lungo il confine tra i sestieri di San Marco e Castello, questo edificio un tempo dimenticato è stato magicamente trasformato da abili restauratori e interior designers. Situato all’incrocio tra San Zulian e il canale dei Bareteri, comprensivo di 10 splendidi appartamenti di varie sfumature di colore e misure, la recentemente inaugurata Corte Rubbi è situata a soli pochi passi da gran parte delle attrazioni della città e dai seducenti panorami che delizieranno i vostri occhi! Facile da trovare (una volta che si conosce la strada!), vicino a Campo San Bartolomeo con i suoi negozi e alla Salizada San Lio, su un isolotto circondato di canali all’interno di un’altra isola, questi appartamenti arredati con gusto e ingegno, offrono WiFi e una stanza adibita a lavanderia in comune, e si posizionano su 4 livelli, con i piani superiori raggiungibili con le scale. In stile altamente contemporaneo, dotate di aria condizionata** in tutta la casa, spaziano da un incantevole studio per 4 a un favoloso attico con terrazza, gli 10 appartamenti di Corte Rubbi possono ospitare fino a 42 ospiti se prenotati in esclusiva e comprendono Corte Rubbi 10 – al 3° piano raggiungibile con le scale – ospita per dormire 6 persone. Previa richiesta possiamo organizzare un servizio di facchinaggio ad un costo aggiuntivo. Uno stupendo e paradisiaco appartamento con 3 camere, composto da: Un’area living spaziosa ed essenziale/ una zona pranzo decorata nei toni del turchese e del magenta con un tocco leggermente marocchino, pavimentazione in legno, travi a vista, un sofà, una sala da pranzo e un angolo cottura ben attrezzato adatto per cucina leggera Una bellissima camera da letto principale con letto matrimoniale e vista canale, con bagno privato in camera, soffitto spiovente con travi a vista e una vasca da bagno incavata con scalini verso il basso Una seconda deliziosa camera da letto, decorata con la carta da parati Procuratie e Scimmie di Cole & Son’s, con letto matrimoniale e travi dipinte Una camera doppia con letti separati, soffitto spiovente con travi a vista, elegantemente decorato nei toni del verde salvia e dello scarlatto Un secondo bagno lussuoso con doccia a gettito basato sulla cromoterapia, anche questo con soffitto spiovente Importante – Per favore siate certi di guardare la galleria fotografica per poter capire meglio come è disposto lo spazio ridotto in altezza in alcuni punti di questo appartamento Fai parte di un gruppo numeroso che vorrebbe stare vicino ma in appartamenti separati? Offriamo altri 9 appartamenti all’interno dello stesso palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1, Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 5, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10 e Corte Rubbi 11, Corte Rubbi 5514 IL NOSTRO COMMENTO Uno stupendo appartamento con 3 camere ricco di stile e gioia di vivere, situato in una zona vivace, centrale e dal fascino senza tempo. A pochi passi dalla chiesa del XVIII secolo di Santa Maria della Fava e vicino a molti siti e attrazioni famosi, come l’incredibile Querini Stampalia, il favoloso Palazzo Grimani, poco distante da Campo S.M.Formosa, la Chiesa di San Zaccaria con la sua cripta e il magnifico altare Bellini, La Pietà di Vivaldi lungo la soleggiata Riva degli Schiavoni… …Con una breve passeggiata, scoprirete il ritmo di vita tranquillo delle calli, dei canali e delle aree verdi di Castello, con la sua atmosfera genuina e rilassata di quartiere … oppure potrete svegliarvi all’alba per godere dell’atmosfera gloriosa di una Piazza San Marco semi deserta, prima che i visitatori si sveglino e arrivino… o visitarla di sera, quando suona l’orchestra del Florian, suonano le campane, i marmi del Palazzo Ducale risplendono e i mosaici della Basilica scintillano nel buio… Vicino ad una serie di negozi, bar e ristoranti, come il rinomato Alle Testiere, l’elegante Bistrot de Venise, Alle Corone, del vicino Hotel Reali, l’incantevole Osteria Al Portego (che ha cicheti deliziosi!) e l’Osteria Ae Sconte, oltre al Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa, con i tavoli all’aperto sul campo. È inoltre vicino a 4 supermercati ben riforniti – una Despar dopo il Ponte della Guerra, una COOP in Salizada San Lio, un’altra Despar in Riva del Carbon (vicino al Ponte di Rialto), è vicino anche a ‘VinoSfuso’, piccola bottega situata in Calle del Mondo Novo e al fruttivendolo in Campo Santa Maria Formosa. A pochi passi dalla fermata del vaporetto di Rialto per esplorare la città, dalla gondola ‘traghetto’ che trasporta i passeggeri attraverso il Canal Grande da Riva del Carbon a San Silvestro nel sestiere di San Polo e dalla fermata del vaporetto di San Zaccaria, per gite in città, raggiungere la spiaggia del Lido e/o i padiglioni della Biennale ai Giardini e all’Arsenale. *Notare che le performance dipendono da tempo e stagione **L’utilizzo dell’aria condizionata e del riscaldamento sono sottoposti a limiti di legge e condominiali.

Tucked away in arty Dorsoduro and beguiling guests with its verdant charm Sits our sublime new Venetian ‘casa’, the serene Corte della Palma… Named after the flourishing palm trees stretching up to the skies from its expansive lawned garden (all yours!) near the pretty Rio delle Romite canal, this peaceful inner sanctum with its highly desirable address promises an exceptional Venetian experience for up to 6 guests. Fabulously positioned just a few doors down from the famous old-school Locanda Montin and one bridge (and a short alleyway) from the sparkling Zattere promenade, the recently remodelled Corte della Palma takes its interiors to the next dimension with bold design imaginatively paired with traditional pieces and object d’art. A million miles away in mindset from the (sometimes) madding crowds of Venice and offering abundant space to kick back and let the outside world slip by, the property comprises 3 luxurious and tranquil bedrooms with accommodation spread over the ground and 1st floors (reached by stairs). Counting Wi-Fi, air-conditioning* throughout and a washing machine / dryer amongst its attributes along with an aura that clearly announces that this is a special place indeed, the property is reached via the ‘blink and miss it’ Calle degli Occhialeri (Street of the Opticians) and comprises: Ground Floor A private front door opening into the entrance hall of the house which in turn leads into… A bright and utterly delightful open-plan main living space composed of… A sitting area with cool stone flooring (a treat for the feet during warmer weather), a large L-shaped sofa with additional velvet tub-style seating ideal for chilling, a wall-size handmade mirror with antique finish realised by Ongaro e Fuga on the nearby glass-making island of Murano, all lit by a rare and spectacular 19th-century French ‘Pampille’ crystal chandelier Arch-headed French doors leading to a charming wooden-decked internal courtyard shaded by fabric ‘sails’, furnished with cushioned seating and doubling up as an ‘al fresco’ sitting room when the weather is fine A stylish dining space with a contemporary dining suite hosting 6 guests lit by a second antique ‘Pampille’ chandelier, and a glazed door opening to reveal Corte della Palma’s remarkable and gorgeously grassy 200sqm walled garden boasting a wonderful furnished paved terrace / loggia illuminated by Venetian hand-blown lanterns at night for memorable dinners beneath the stars, freshly planted flower borders beside characterful herringbone paving, an ancient and very charming ‘vera da pozzo’ wellhead that would have been used in years gone by to provide the residents of the house with fresh water, and a pair of sun-loungers with parasol on a further terrace beneath the palm trees… a slice of pure heaven… who knew Venice had such gardens?! A modern and well-equipped kitchen with sparkling marble worktops and everything one needs for rustling up an Italian feast** A pristine contemporary bathroom in polished marble with shower Stone stairs rising to the… 1st Floor, where we find Corte della Palma’s 3 deluxe bedrooms, each with traditional terrazzo flooring and whitewashed beams overhead… The restful principal bedroom dressed in pink and greys with a double bed, a Les Dominotiers Sovana Grisaille bespoke panoramic wall mural from the long-established Luise Parati of Padua, and a contemporary en suite bathroom enrobed in striking grey and white marble with shower A splendid 2nd double bedroom with delightful garden views, a double bed dressed in shades of pink, turquoise and mustard, wallpaper from the Japanese Khroma Kimono Collection by Masureel and a separate immaculate bathroom with shower shared with… The bijou 3rd bedroom overlooking Corte della Palma’s internal courtyard, dressed in dramatic teal blue and Midnight Walk wallpaper from Caselio and with a (small) double bed **Alternatively get in touch for further details of ‘A TAVOLA’ – VOV’s new purpose-designed and professionally equipped Venetian Home-Kitchen – situated almost opposite Corte della Palma on the Rio delle Romite canal, where we celebrate the Italian passion for great food, wine and good company through informal, hands-on COOKING CLASSES with menus focusing on traditional Italian and Venetian cuisine along with easy-going and informative sommelier-led Italian WINE TASTINGS – we hope to see you there! OUR COMMENT The rare gift of a garden and a beautifully curated home brought together in a perfect package in the Dorsoduro sestiere! A short amble to one of the last remaining gondola workshops still in operation in Venice at San Trovaso, the picturesque Campo San Barnaba, the Accademia Bridge and Galleries, the newly reopened Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th century Venice, the iconic Church of the Salute, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Palazzo Cini Gallery, plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art… … Also close to a variety of fine restaurants and bars including Locanda Montin, Ristorante Riviera, Enoteca Ai Artisti, Oniga, Osteria Al Squero and Cantine del Vino già Schiavi (a favourite with the locals and home to some of the best cicchetti in town!) An easy waterside stroll to the well-stocked Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere for easy self-catering and to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere, Zattere Spirito Santo, Accademia and Salute – for easy travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!) Within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport and close to the traghetto at Calle Lanza / Calle del Traghetto San Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the district of San Marco. *Please note that the operation of air-conditioning and heating are subject to municipality regulation. In general, heating is available from mid-October to mid-April, while air-conditioning is available from mid-April to mid-October. Please contact us for further information.
