Majestic Penthouse with Elegant Decor near San Marco

The Alighieri D is the largest between the four apartments comprising the whole top floor of this authentic historical building that we call Palazzo Alighieri.

It is found in the west side of Castello District, next to Ponte dei Greci, only a few minutes’ walk from San Marco Square, in one of the most integrally authentic parts of the city.

In the surroundings there are lots of artisan and antique ateliers, local food shops and delicious osterie (traditional restaurants). Some of the cultural landmarks that can be found close by in Castello beside the well-known Arsenale and Biennale Gardens include Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Church of San Zaccaria and many others.

The Alighieri can be reached from the Marco Polo Airport by private water taxi in about 20 minutes ride through the lagoon, or in less than 5 minutes’ walk from the Vaporetto (ferry boat) stop San Zaccaria, thus conveniently located.

The entire property has been completely and luxuriously restored in 2013: an elevator has been installed, the original terrazzo flooring repaired, frescoes and stuccoes brought back to the ancient splendour, the terrace equipped with table, sunshade and sun chairs.

A welcoming hallway leads you straight into the grand master bedroom, where superb furnishings and plenty of natural light really enhance the beauty of this exquisite bedroom. Sleep under the frescoed ceiling and feel like a Doge as you awake!

The elegant living room showcases a contemporary and functional open plan kitchen, while offering very comfortable sitting space on a designer sofa. Dine either at the main table or at the breakfast bar, part of the kitchen. There is an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and a further en-suite bathroom with shower for the second bedroom. This bedroom has a more contemporary feel with crisp linens and fresh interiors. A clever mix of classic and contemporary to suit all. The apartment features a spacious attic floor that can be used as playroom or extra bedroom with a French size bed (140 cm wide) perfect for 2 children or 1 adult.

All four apartments can be rented together for groups of up to 14 people. Book now the Palazzo Alighieri, the perfect accommodation solution for groups that aim for maximum privacy or for family reunions with well-behaved children.
