About this property

A magnificent XVth Century gothic Noble Palace on two canals.

This flat has the C.I.R. code 027042-LOC-10852 and City code M02704210785.
Cavazza Palazzo Foscari Mocenigo dalle Zogie (i.e. "from the beads") is a magnificent late gothic building of the first half of the Fifteenth Century that was donated in 1460 by Tommaso Cavazza, to the Confraternity of St. Mary of the Charity, then sold in 1487 to Michiel Foscari. In 1491, Pellegrina Foscari, Michiel’s daughter, married Alvise Mocenigo and brought it into dowry to her husband. The beautiful internal court consists of a double order of columns with a well with the Foscari’s coat of arms and an imposing "ingresso d’acqua" (“gate from the water”) on Rio del Piombo.
You will reach the inner courtyard of the Palace by a private marble “fondamentina” (sidewalk on water) that starts from Ponte delle Paste. Within the court, at the left of the entry, a stone staircase with marble lions is the exclusive entrance of your apartment. Climb the stone stairs outside and few internal steps (total 23, no elevators in Venice!) to get to the first Noble Floor of the Palace.
On the landing, to the left, the blue and gold lacquered, glass windowed, door leads to your 50 square metres apartment.
Air conditioning is guaranteed by a portable conditioner during summer.
There are two rooms: a 20 square metres living room with mt.5,30 ceiling heights, with a comfortable sofa, two armchairs "Louis XV" and a turkish sofa. Two large windows with curtains in flax fabric get to the balcony in “Istria” stone (mt. 2.70 x 0.80) facing Rio del Piombo, perfect for a late evening cocktail in June, an afternoon reading in spring, or a warm breakfast in winter. Rio del Piombo and the near Rio della Fava, which insists on the Palazzo facade, are plowed by gondolas or boats goods, but this won't hurt you at night.
There’s the satellite TV. Internet is assured by WI-FI line whose access key you will find written within the apartment.
The second 16 square metres room includes kitchen with induction 4 burners fire cooking, an electric oven and a fridge. No dishwasher or washing machine.
The cook equipment is all of good supply and suitable for induction cooking - including the moka for Italian coffee - and with several small household appliances, including kettle and coffee maker...
On the side of the kitchen there is a small bathroom with wc, washbasin and shower (the hairdryer is available).
The spiral staircase leads to the 12 square metres loft where is placed the 140x200 cms. bed. On a corner, you will find two standers for clothes, shoes and sweaters. BECAUSE OF THE LOFT NO CHILDREN CAN BE ACCOMODATED IN THE FLAT! We will give you a set of queen-size bed sheets, a complete set of 3 towels, bathrobe and slippers for each guest. There is an ironing board with iron.
CITY TAX - € 4 each guest/day for the first 5 days of stay. Taxes have to be payed at check-in. We will give a receipt for the payment.
If you are two guests and you want the bed in the living room (the so-called Turkish sofa) to be made, there is an extra fee of € 30,00 for the work and supply of sheets.

Great Location

First, Christiana is the best communicator. She is an amazing host and answered any question I had. Grazie mille, Christiana!We got great information on how to get to the apartment. Venice is overwhelming but the apartment is in such a great area. Close to everything but not near the crowds. It felt very authentic. Apartment was very clean and Ms. Claudia got us into the apartment easily and was so kind. We loved our stay! Thank you for your kindness, Christiana!Lisa and Dale

A lovely apartment in a beautiful gothic palace, with all the essentials. The location is very convenient for arriving with cases, and discovering Venice. (Pasticceria Ponte delle Paste, situated next to the entrance to the palace is a must for coffee and cakes.)

We really enjoyed our stay in this very lovely, historic apartment! The apartment is conveniently located, close to many little shops and restaurants and transportation on the Grand Canal. We especially liked watching the gondolas go by on the canal. Communication was very good and we very much appreciated that Ms. Claudia was there to greet us after our trains were late.

Excellent Hospitality

Cristiana had our apartment filled with all the essentials we could want. Her place is so close, so central to all amenities. It has a lovely little balcony overlooking a quiet canal. My sister and I highly recommend this place, and if we're fortunate enough to ever return, we will be booking with Crisitiana again.

A Venetian gem

Cristiana has created a small treasure in the center of Venice. While an apartment in an old Venetian palace is a remarkable find, Cristiana has designed a warm and comfortable home for travellers: beautiful furniture and artwork, a stack of helpful guide books, slippers for tired feet at the end of the day, and a quick response to every question. The apartment is centrally located between the Rialto Bridge and San Marco, so everything is close and easy to find. Shopping, from groceries to handmade goods, are outside the front door. Best of all, the best pastry shop and gelateria in the city are only a few steps away! Cristiana is the best host I have met on my world travels and I send her my thanks for a wonderful vacation.

Apartment in Palazzo with lots of character, in a central location

It was a great place to stay in Venice, as it is very well located, near the Rialto Bridge, but tucked away above a small canal with its own beautiful courtyard. The apartment is very well equipped, and tastefully decorated. Cristiana was a kind and thoughtful host and went to a lot of trouble to facilitate our arrival providing information about transport from the airport. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect for visiting Venice

We really enjoyed our stay in this perfectly located apartment within a Venetian Palazzo. The apartment is as described and the images show. It’s perfectly located somewhat between St. Marks Square and the Rialto bridge. Therefore we were able to have a nice, relaxing lunch break during our sightseeing tours through Venice. The apartment is very well equipped and we were welcomed with some cookies and Prosecco though checking in late. The host was very friendly, proactive and responsive.

Wonderful Locstio

I highly recommend staying at Palazzo Cavazza Foscari! It is in a wonderful location in the center of Venezia. The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We also had a lovely gift waiting for us on arrival, Also cold lemon & mint water waiting for us on arrival on a very hot day, which was very welcome and much appreciated. Our host Cristiana was wonderful and warm to communicate with throughout the entire process from booking to staying at her beautiful old Palazzo apartment. All in all It was an amazing chance to experience Venetian life , living like a local! Thankyou Cristiana for everything!

Owner was more than hospitable!

The apartment was immaculate and the owner offered help and advice that made our stay like staying with friends. There was some construction noise in the neighbourhood, but that was in no way the owner's responsibility and it is doubtless temporary.

Grazie, Cristiana

This is a traditional Venetian apartment in a good location, and with a yummy pasticceria just outside your door. But what makes this place truly special is the host! Cristiana makes you feel like an honored guest and is available to help in any way she can. Even though she was not onsite during our stay she guided us through a difficult week and we will be forever grateful.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this Rustic old palace.

Everything you need in a place for you & your partner. Cristinanna was brilliant with communication & lots of helpful tips on places to eat etc. my husband & I had a lovely few days break away. Place was very clean & immaculate. Even a welcome bottle of Prosecco in fridge. Was a lovely surprise. Would definitely recommend this place 7mons to St Marco & less than 5mins to Railto bridge. Although getting lost in the streets is a must…

Beautiful Palace Apartment in the Heart of Venice

The location was unbeatable and security was excellent. The host was wonderful and responsive and bent over backwards to make this a special stay, especially considering that we were a bit late due to the crowds during Carnivale. Keep in mind that this is a very old building and so heating and getting it just right for sleeping can be an issue. The ceilings are high and gorgeous in our opinion. The bakery is next door for a nice espresso in the morning and all the tenants we met were warm and engaging. The location is unbeatable! The balcony very romantic! We highly recommend this VRBO and molto grazie to our charming host!

Magical

A balcony, on two canals, in a palace - what more could one ask for? We are delighted that we chose this apartment for our stay in Venice. The apartment itself is part of a small palace, and you walk through the open entrance of the palace every time to get to the first floor apartment. You can just imagine what it would have been like a couple of hundred years ago, with gondolas coming to the door and the busy traffic outside one the canal. As it is, there is still lots of busy traffic to be seen from the balcony, especially in the morning with canal deliveries and collections to the shops and businesses nearby. As the day settles down, gondolas slide past the adjacent canal. The apartment itself is stylishly furnished to make one feel part of Venice, and the host is helpful and welcoming. And if you enjoy a morning coffee and cake, your walk will be little more than 10 metres to one of the best Pasticcerias in the city. Enjoy, and if you can, be in Venice for at least a week!

Traumblick auf die Kanäle

Es war alles sehr gut. Wir durften sogar etwas früher einchecken. Christiana hat die Wohnung sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, und sie hat uns bei Fragen gut beraten. Claudia, die sich um die Wohnung kümmert, ist ebenfalls sehr freundlich. Wir schließen uns nur dem Kommentar an, dass der Aufstieg zum Bett auf der Empore „abenteuerlich“ ist. Nicht gut von Fewo-direkt finde ich, dass man gezwungen wird, die Kommunikation mit der Agentur zu bewerten. Dazu kann ich nichts sagen. Ich gebe nur 5 Sterne, damit die Wohnung gut bewertet wird.

Authentizität und Gastfreundschaft

Wer schon immer einmal in einem echten Palazzo wohnen wollte und mehr Wert legt auf Echtheit, statt auf Luxus, der ist hier richtig. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll und künstlerisch ausgestattet. Alles, was man so braucht oder brauchen könnte ist vorhanden: Neben dem Üblichen gibt es Bademäntel, Hausschuhe und, sehr nützlich, alles für den Fall, dass es regnet. Man muss das Besondere mögen, um diese Wohnung wirklich schätzen zu können. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wurden sehr herzlich aufgenommen und hätten, wenn es erforderlich gewesen wäre, jederzeit die Möglichkeit zum Kontakt zur Gastgeberin. Viele wertvolle Tipps gab es in einer ausführlichen Informationsmappe. Den Restauranttipps sind wir gefolgt und waren jedes Mal begeistert. Es war unser schönster Venedigaufenthalt, den wir je hatten.
