A design apartment in an 18th-century palazzo with a panoramic terrace, in the heart of Castello
A 120 sqm apartment in an 18th-century palazzo, recently renovated by Ikonica architettura, a studio that has woven the building’s historic character together with contemporary design. The floors are Venetian terrazzo with white Verona marble, while the original 18th-century floor has been preserved in the bedroom. The Carrara marble kitchen with its metal frame and the black marble bathroom with white Vogue tiles are clear expressions of this approach — tradition and modernity in direct conversation. The centrepiece is the 35 sqm terrace with a view over the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo: a private outdoor space where Venice can be experienced at its own pace.
In the neighbourhood:
▸ Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo and the Basilica
▸ Ospedale Civile and vaporetto stop, a short walk away
▸ Piazza San Marco: 10-minute walk
▸ Ponte di Rialto: 10 minutes
▸ Biennale di Venezia: 10 minutes
▸ Bars, traditional restaurants, greengrocer and bakery
▸ Coop supermarket nearby
▸ Quiet calle with little passing traffic
Venice at a slower pace
This apartment is for those who want an authentic experience in Venice, away from the pace of mass tourism. It’s a natural fit for architects, designers and creatives visiting the city for the Biennale or for work, and equally for those who simply want to experience Venice without rushing. The “stay, not just pass through” philosophy shows in every detail: the terrace for an aperitivo looking out over the Venetian rooftops, the dedicated workspace with fibre connection, the fully equipped kitchen for cooking properly. Here you’re not just a guest — for a while, you’re a Venetian.
How the apartment is laid out
The 120 sqm apartment is on a single level on the first floor (no lift) and includes two spacious bedrooms, a large open-plan living area that opens onto the terrace, a proper kitchen and a full bathroom. The layout comfortably accommodates up to 4 people, with the option to add a cot. The living area is well-lit, with windows looking onto the internal gardens and the terrace. The 4-metre ceilings with original exposed beams from the historic palazzo give the rooms a sense of volume and character.
The kitchen, custom-designed in Carrara marble with a metal frame, is fully equipped for serious cooking. The bathroom has an elegant contrast between black marble and white Vogue tiles, with both a bathtub and a shower. Venetian terrazzo floors run throughout the apartment, while the original 18th-century floor has been kept in the main bedroom. The large 35 sqm terrace, accessible from the living room, has outdoor furniture and an al fresco dining area — a natural extension of the living space.

No — the apartment is on the first floor of a historic 18th-century palazzo and there is no lift. One flight of stairs to reach the apartment.
Check-in is fully self-managed and available 24/7. You’ll receive personal access codes by email for both the building and the apartment. No need to meet anyone: you can arrive whenever you like between 13:00 and 23:30 and let yourself in using the codes provided.
As with all of Venice, the apartment is not reachable by car. We recommend parking at Piazzale Roma (Parcheggio Comunale, Autorimessa Comunale or Garage San Marco) or at Tronchetto, and from there taking the vaporetto line 5.1 to the Ospedale stop (5 minutes on foot from the apartment), or a water taxi.
Yes — the apartment has a high-speed fibre optic connection, reliable for video calls, online meetings and remote work. There is also a dedicated workspace with a desk in a separate room with a door, for focus and privacy.
Around 10 minutes on foot. This makes the apartment a practical base for architects, artists and creatives visiting Venice during the Arte or Architettura Biennale.
