La Dimora di San Maurizio 2 Venice - Apartment

Ring the bell for ‘Curtain Up’ at Ca’ Dell’ Opera Terrace– a tale of transformation from ugly duckling to swan Lavishly and luxuriously renovated to the same exceptional standards as those offered by our spectacular Grand Canal palazzi and piano nobile properties, and welcoming guests with a comforting sense of warmth and intimacy in tune with its rather cosier yet still more than ample proportions, VOV is delighted to bring you this showstopping new apartment. Brimming with character and showcasing the fruits of yet another supremely successful creative collaboration between Views on Venice and trusted architect and interior design company Archflorence, Ca’ Dell’ Opera stands proud alongside Ca’ Del Teatro, Ca’ Cerchieri Loredan, Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo, Ca' Della Luce, La Marchesa and Gondolieri in an innovative and highly regarded line-up of VOV - owned and completely restored apartments – individually designed with refinement and taste to elevate them all to the very top of their league, and marrying Venetian spirit and understated glamour with flawlessly executed Florentine flair. Named and beautifully decorated (though somewhat less ostentatiously!) in homage to the magical jewel-like opera houses of Venice – the Malibran, the Goldoni and, of course, La Fenice – and in memory of those theatres that have long disappeared, Ca’ Dell’ Opera has 4 bedrooms/4 bathrooms and is charmingly located in peaceful Campo degli Incurabili, Dorsoduro, close to the Accademia Galleries and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and steps from the Zattere with its spectacular views. Sleeping 8 (+1) in a relaxed atmosphere of quiet affluence and comfortable living, the fully air-conditioned* apartment is spread over 3 levels and impeccably presented from top-to-toe in bespoke soft furnishings and custom-built fittings all unique to Ca’ Dell’ Opera. Important: please note that the apartment only accepts fully supervised children over 6 years of age or under 1 year (non-walking babies) because of the internal stairs and ‘altana’ rooftop terrace. Generous as well as flexible in terms of space, and boasting a new and truly wonderful furnished ‘altana’ rooftop terrace offering splendid views across rooftops towards St. Mark’s Campanile, Salute and more, accommodation comprises: Ground floor • A main entrance hallway leading to a beamed double bedroom with twin beds, gothic-inspired mirrored wardrobe, terrazzo flooring and a smart en-suite bathroom with shower and deluxe fittings. • A handy utility room with combined washer/dryer on the opposite side of the hallway, and a stairs rising to the level above.
