Description
We are in the suggestive Castello district, right in front of the church of San Martino, where time seems to have stopped between the Istrian stones and the silence of the canal. Here one of the most moving bas-reliefs of the city opens to the view: Saint Martin giving his cloak to the poor, a gesture of love and inspiration for the traditional Venetian dessert that sweetens childhood every November 11th.
Leaving behind us the Campo, steeped in history and beauty, we cross the threshold of an elegant seventeenth-century building with a large entrance courtyard and elevator, to discover an apartment that encloses the most authentic soul of Venice.
The elegant building designed by Baldassare Longhena, also known for being the birthplace of the doge Francesco Erizzo, houses on the third floor a 200 m2 apartment, which preserves all the historical atmosphere of the building.
Each window is a living frame that embraces the Campo, the Church and the canal below, in a play of light and reflections that changes with the hours of the day.
The entrance leads to the large hall of over 30 m2, where the Venetian terrazzo floor and the frescoed ceilings tell ancient stories to those who still know how to listen.
From here, the gaze is lost on the silent walls of the Church and the slowly flowing water.
A charming study opens onto the red roofs and the bell tower of San Martino, while four large, bright bedrooms offer space and quiet. The kitchen and two functional bathrooms complete the main floor.
This exclusive apartment is perfect for being customized as your own residence in the heart of Venice or as a valuable investment. Its proximity to the Biennale and Piazza San Marco make it a unique opportunity to experience the infinite charm of the Serenissima every day. The Castello district, the largest and one of the oldest in Venice, is located at the eastern end of the city. One of the most populous neighborhoods in the city, it has always kept the traditional "Venetian lifestyle" intact. Among the numerous monuments and works of art, we cannot fail to mention the Arsenale, for centuries the cradle of the power of the Serenissima, the Basilica dei SS. Giovanni and Paolo, one of the most loved by the Venetians, of S. Francesco in Vigna, of S. Maria Formosa.
