Dimora San Trovaso

A remarkable ‘casa’ in dreamy Campo San Trovaso, within a minute’s stroll of the Zattere waterfront in the arty district of Dorsoduro.



Picture perfect on the outside and astonishing within, Dimora San Trovaso has been transformed to ravishing effect. Like an uber-elegant grande dame who dares to don the latest fashions yet remains faithful to the classic threads that simply never go out of style, its striking interior is the brainchild of Studio 2046 of Treviglio, Lombardy and cocoons 4 (+2) guests in considerable comfort.



Marrying opulent Fortuny fabrics handcrafted on the nearby Venetian island of Giudecca with bespoke lighting, courageous colours and original parquet flooring, this highly individual home sparkles with spirit and personality in startling (and welcome) contrast to the humdrum and boring!



Enjoying sublime views across the bright and open canal-fringed campo to one of the last remaining gondola workshops still in operation in Venice, and within moments of the celebrated bar Cantine del Vino già Schiavi (a favourite with the locals and home to some of the best cicchetti in town), the friendly Gelateria Lo Squero (ice-cream bliss!), and the Accademia Bridge and Galleries (simply not to be missed), this memorable 4-storey ‘dimora’ offers Wi-Fi and air-conditioning** in 4 bedroom accommodation comprising:

OUR COMMENT



An inspirational restoration with gorgeous views on a sunny campo in a location highly favoured by Venice residents and the cognoscenti!



A short amble to the picturesque Campo San Barnaba, the iconic Church of the Salute, the Accademia Galleries and Bridge, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Palazzo Cini Gallery, plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art, and close to a variety of fine restaurants and bars including Ristorante Riviera, Enoteca Ai Artisti, Oniga, Locanda Montin, Osteria Al Squero and Cantine del Vino già Schiavi to name but a few.



An easy waterside stroll to the well-stocked Conad supermarket at the western end of the Zattere 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.
