Description
As featured in The London Evening Standard Homes & Property online - November 2018
A sun-dappled pergola in a garden so rare softly whispers your name in the Dorsoduro sestiere…
Beckoning you to rest easy, settle back and stay awhile within a sleepily serene backwater offering few sounds other than the happy chirruping of contented birds and the fluttering of vines in the gentle breeze, La Baruffa is one of the latest in the series of VOV-owned properties designed with gusto by ArchFlorence to sweep you off your feet.
A pretty-as-a-picture ‘pied-a-garden’ for lovers of the ‘real Venice’ offering complete liberation from any busy-life blues, the dainty La Baruffa is a charming confection of peerless craftsmanship, bespoke furnishings and well-coordinated hues.
Situated in the sweetly sedate district known as ‘Incurabili’ between the Guggenheim Collection and the glinting waters of the Zattere promenade, and distinguished by its adorable little wall-mounted wooden shrine to Saint Rita of Cascia, this exquisite apartment with its own private garden sleeps 4 (+1) guests in air-conditioned* accommodation arranged over 2 floors.
Marrying the restorative pleasures of being at one with nature with all the comforts you could wish for in a dream Venetian home, the 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom apartment La Baruffa comprises:
Ground floor
• An independent entrance opening to reveal your surprise ‘giardino segreto’ (secret garden) – a semi-paved oasis of meditation (and holiday celebration!) with palm trees, climbing roses, shrubs, ivy and flowering plants. Furnished with wooden sun-loungers for reclining al fresco, plus ample garden seating and a dining suite beneath a lantern-lit pergola of vines, it’s outdoor living at its loveliest!
• A glazed door leading you into La Baruffa’s luxurious open-plan living area dressed in masterfully coordinated patterns and high-end hessian shades offset with sassy splashes of colour against off-white timbers up above. Intimate and inviting, the room comprises -
- A sofa-furnished sitting / TV area with the apartment’s original decorative fireplace providing a focal point to the room
- A contemporary-style kitchen in off-white, wood and marble with top of the range appliances (including a Bosch oven), and a breakfast bar with stools
- A dining area just to the side with banquette seating and a dining table for 6 guests
• A charming studio-cum-bedroom - ideal for a senior member -decorated in a fetching mix of matching blue and linen colours, and with a single day bed plus an en suite marble bathroom with a shower enrobed in iridescent ‘mermaid tail’ tiling just waiting for you to make a splash!
A open-sided staircase at the centre of the apartment rising up to the –
1st floor where you’ll find, to one side –
• The handsome master bedroom with views over the quaint and quiet Calle Delle Mende, furnished on a blue, linen and off-white theme with a double bed, a built in mirrored wardrobe, floorboards in natural & grey alternate stripes, and a deluxe en suite bathroom in marble with bathtub
And to the other -
• La Baruffa’s delightful third bedroom overlooking the sunny Calle Navaro, furnished in a warm muscovado brown and a deep demerera yellow, with twin beds (which can be made into a double at your request), a built in wardrobe, striped floorboards matching those of the master, plus a smart en suite bathroom in marble with a shower encased in Moroccan-themed tiling
Are you part of a larger group who would like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer another apartment in this building: Gondolieri (with ‘altana’ rooftop terrace!)
OUR COMMENT
LIFE’S A BED OF ROSES at new apartment LA BARUFFA – a sweet taste of paradise on the ‘Dorsoduro Museum Mile’…
A short amble to the iconic Church of the Salute, the Accademia Galleries and Bridge (and the VOV office!), the Palazzo Cini Gallery, plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art, and close to a variety of fine eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for cicheti and spritz.
A short stroll to the new Conad supermarket Zattere Allo Spirito Santo and to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia – for travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!)
Also close to the ‘traghetto’ at Calle Lanza/Calle del Traghetto S. Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the district of San Marco, and within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
*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.

When a friend arrived at Marco Polo VoV had made a reservation for the speedboat. But there was fog. So they called my friend and guided her to a taxi who drove to Venice, where a boat was waiting to bring her. VoV was on the phone with her guiding her exactly where to go until she was safe in the boat. How great is that!!

We noticed that only some of the towel warmers worked and we were not able to figure out how to turn on the outside private garden lights. Neither of which were really bothersome, just some points for improvement!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The communication was fantastic. About three days before, I sent over our itinerary via text which was nice since calling service was hit or miss. Rossana met us at our water taxi and escorted us to the villa. She spent 30 minutes with us, showing us around the villa, pointing out all of the amenities. Before she left, she reviewed a map of the area and provided recommendations for dining, supermarkets, shopping and which attractions were must dos! She offered to book our private water taxi to the train station. Finally, she looked in the cabinet and realized were did not have olive oil or mosquito repellant. Thirty minutes later she returned with both! We will be back, and we will be staying with Villas on Venice each and every time. There was no better way to be immersed in the culture. I can't say enough good things.

Our family of 5 absolutely loved this property. It's located in Dorsoduro near the Guggenheim, with vaporreto Terminals, restaurants and convenience stores all within a short walk. The house itself has been immaculately decorated, and definitely had the feel of a high end hotel in terms of quality. It was too cold for us to enjoy the garden space, but that would be an amazing place to hang out in warmer months. The rental hosts were top notch - responsive, helpful, assisted us with arranging private water taxis too/from the airport, and had a nice list of things to do and see locally. It was our favorite property over the course of our Italy travels, and we would very happily stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at La Baruffa for a week and had a wonderful time. The private garden patio is a peaceful oasis. The apartment is compact, but is well designed. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we've seen for a rental. The appliances are of high quality and it is a kitchen that is easy to cook in. The apartment is in a sweet neighborhood with plenty of little restaurants, galleries and shops to enjoy. It is a short walk to the Zattere too. We had a wonderful time! The highlight was a sunset cruise, arranged by Views on Venice's concierge, on Captain Marco's bragozzo, a classic wooden boat. We had the great joy of visiting an artichoke farm on San Erasmo Island! A special experience, a special week with fond memories.

To us, the apartment could be improved by some use of color like in Ca' Dell' Artists. Given that it is a small, compact space, accent walls of color would liven it up and make it more welcoming inside. The colorful bathrooms upstairs with Venetian plaster are beautifully done! Loved the wood and white striped floors upstairs. The stairs need a handrail to be safe!

Billie Pink La Baruffa is truly beautiful. We have rented many apartments and villas around the world and although this is relatively compact, it is without doubt one of the most beautifully styled and well thought through. In practical terms, everything was provided - and everything was brand new. In terms of design, the apartment is extremely elegant and comfortable. The secret garden was a delight - and makes La Baruffa ideal for families with children. And the location could not have been more perfect - so peaceful, yet just a few hundred metres from the Zatterethe Grand Canal. We fell in love with La Baruffa - so much so that we enquired into purchasing it (sadly it's not for sale!). Views on Venice was extremely professional and helpful from first enquiry through to departure. Marta who met us, was charming and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. It was like having our own concierge service! Irene was also lovely. Do please pass on our sincere thanks to both of them. The boat trip with Marco was a real highlight of our stay, thank you also for recommending and organising this. We were so impressed with La Baruffa and Views on Venice that we are already planning our visit next year. Many thanks, Billie, Joel, Wulfie, Marlowe and Lavinia (Grandma!)16/04/2019

Follow in the footsteps of 15-century Doge Francesco Molin at his former home – Palazzo Molin del Cuoridoro – in the San Marco sestiere. An exceptional example of a Venetian Gothic palazzo complete with coat of arms, Gothic Fiorito windows and two exquisite water doors*, the palazzo is now home to two meticulously restored VOV apartments with towering ceilings, designer furnishings, touch-control technology and terrazzo floors. Like an imperious grande dame commanding respect and adulation in the midst of all the action near La Fenice and St. Mark’s Square, this historic palazzo (listed for its importance by the Belle Arti**) provides an astonishing backdrop to: La Corte dei Cuoridoro 2 (sleeping 5) Situated on the 1st and 2nd floors of the palazzo reached by stairs and accessed via the palazzo’s water door or the Culti-decorated communal ‘androne’ hallway, the accommodation boasts Wi-Fi and air-conditioning*** and comprises: 2nd Floor A visually arresting and impressively proportioned main living space, home to a sitting/dining area furnished with a vast L-shaped sofa, a Knoll Saarinen dining table with contemporary metal wire chairs for 6 and a well-equipped kitchenette Taking centre stage in this magnificent room hangs a splendid floor-to-ceiling wall mural depicting the Campanile and Doge’s Palace lit by a Mariano Fortuny-style black tripod floor lamp… while a pair of half-glazed doors flanked by whimsical striped ‘pali da casada’ poles in miniature open onto stand-on balconies offering breathtaking views over the Rio dei Barcoroli canal below At the entrance to the apartment there’s a small room with combined washing machine/dryer, and on the apartment’s lower level reached by stairs… 1st Floor A spacious and elegant principal bedroom with a double bed, restored timbers overhead, a large Persian rug giving warmth underfoot, a wall-length mirror-fronted wardrobe, a pair of half-glazed doors opening onto Juliet balconies overlooking the canal to the front of the palazzo and a modern en suite bathroom with shower The stylish 2nd double bedroom with a double bed, ample wardrobe space, a pair of half-glazed doors opening onto Juliet balconies overlooking the canal, and a doorway leading directly into a… 3rd studio/bedroom with a single fold-out bed - an exquisite little space lit from the outside by the top portion of one of Palazzo’s Cuoridoro’s pretty Gothic water doors and with its own en suite bathroom in marble with shower And completing the apartment’s memorable accommodation – a separate luxury bathroom in marble with bathtub and a fabulous stone wall plaque depicting the Winged Lion of St. Mark! * Perfect for stylish and convenient arrivals/departures by private water taxi ** The Heritage Authorities PLEASE NOTE that Palazzo Molin del Cuoridoro’s communal ‘androne’ hallway and courtyard garden are only available for use by residents of the palazzo and, as such, are unavailable to guests of La Corte dei Cuoridoro 2 (also kindly note that picnics, dining and sunbathing are not permitted in these areas :) Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer another apartment in this fabulous palazzo: La Corte dei Cuoridoro 1 (sleeping 4) OUR COMMENT A luxury palazzo apartment exuding charisma, with world-famous attractions waiting to greet you at every turn. Moments to all the must-see sights of/near Piazza San Marco including the towering Campanile, the Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Clock Tower (Torre dell’ Orologio), Harry’s Bar, Caffé Florian (300 years old this year!), not forgetting the incredibly charming hidden Scala Contarini del Bovolo and the gondola station at Bacino Orseolo. Close to some of Venice’s finest luxury boutiques, 3 well-stocked supermarkets (plus one very closeby specialising in organic foods), a local wine shop just off Campo Santo Stefano, countless bars and restaurants (including Ristorante Da Ivo – often in the press!), along with one of Venice’s most famous coffee and pastry shops – Marchini Time. Within a short walk of 3 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Rialto, San Marco Vallaresso and Sant’Angelo for easy movement around the city - and to the traghetto gondola ferry at Sant’ Angelo/Garzoni crossing the Grand Canal to San Toma in labyrinthine district of San Polo. An easy amble across the iconic Rialto Bridge to the Rialto Market (food shopping heaven!) Also within a short stroll of the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and the Accademia Bridge. ***Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation.
