Ca' Margherita Apartment in Dorsoduro

A pretty as a picture pied-à-terre with a divine courtyard garden in the chic district of San Vio on the Dorsoduro ‘Museum Mile’

Peacefully tucked away and immaculately restored, this oasis of an apartment is a sanctuary of sheer delight!

Beautifully dressed in a serene pistachio green and sublime botanical murals serving to ‘bring the outside in’, Ca’ Margherita sleeps 2 guests in understated elegance between the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Accademia Galleries and Bridge.

Thoughtfully furnished with framed artwork, period pieces and bespoke mirrored cabinetry calling to mind the eastern travels of Venetian explorer Marco Polo, its colourful textiles and crimson accents instil warmth and vitality and lend an air of quiet opulence to its bright and welcoming interior.

Cosy in winter and perfect in mild weather and on balmy summer evenings when the blissful courtyard garden comes into its own, the fully air-conditioned* apartment with Wi-Fi is situated on the ground floor and offers accommodation comprising:

• An utterly charming dual-aspect main sitting / dining room furnished with a pair of comfortable sofas (one a single sofa bed) for winding down after a busy day, a dining suite for meals ‘per due’ and windows looking onto the garden giving the impression, for a fleeting moment, that one could be in the heart of the Veneto countryside!

• A compact and newly fitted kitchenette just to the side, well equipped for light cooking

• A delightful principal bedroom decorated along a similar theme – calm, romantic and relaxing in equal measure – with a double bed attired in plush damask fabric (which can be divided into singles at your request) and not one but two contemporary en suite bathrooms with sleek fittings – one with a bathtub and the other with walk-in shower… what luxury!

And returning to the main living space where we find a glazed door opening to reveal Ca’ Margherita’s…

• Dainty courtyard garden… furnished with table and chairs set upon traditional herringbone brickwork, shaded by established rhododendrons, and ideal for basking at your leisure in the very special tranquil atmosphere of this captivating part of Venice that we’re so fortunate to call home

OUR COMMENT


Stylish interior design and a little garden sublime just off Campo San Vio in the genteel Dorsoduro district…

A short amble to the glittering Zattere promenade for your customary evening canal-side ‘passeggiata’ and to the Palazzo Cini Gallery, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the iconic Church of the Salute, the Accademia Galleries and Bridge (and the VOV office to its side!), plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art.

Also close to a variety of highly regarded eating places and bars including Ai Cugnai, Enoteca Ai Artisti and Ristorante Riviera for dining, and Corner Pub, Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for great panini / cicheti and spritz.

An easy waterside stroll to 2 Conad supermarkets – one at the western end of the Zattere and a smaller one closer to home at Zattere Spirito Santo – and to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia – 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 a stone’s throw of 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, as well as the newly reopened ‘traghetto’ service at the Punta della Dogana which carries you across the water directly to the frosted-glass door of the legendary Harry’s Bar just beside St. Mark’s Square!

Also, within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.

Important: please note that the apartment only accepts fully supervised children over 10 years of age or under 1 year (non-walking babies).
