Description
An extraordinary and rare opportunity to own a true work of art: one of Venice's most famous and iconic palaces, a true symbol of history, art, and prestige. Ca' Dario, built in 1489 by Giovanni Dario, Venetian ambassador to the court of Sultan Mehmet II, is an architectural masterpiece combining Renaissance elegance, Venetian charm, and timeless sophistication. Following comprehensive restoration work on the roof, façade, foundations, and structural reinforcements, the palace retains its original 500-year-old structure, enriched with spacious state rooms, versatile bedrooms, and historic details. The residence offers two main noble floors, a magnificent decorated staircase, a library, servants' quarters, and a panoramic terrace. Outdoor spaces include a walled garden and a private dock directly on the Grand Canal, ideal for those who wish to experience Venice in style and privacy. The interior layout includes majestic halls such as the Sala Maometto, dining rooms and living rooms with balconies overlooking the canal, bedrooms with private bathrooms, and spaces dedicated to study and reading. Every architectural detail tells the story of Giovanni Dario, a man of culture, merchant, and diplomat, who designed Ca' Dario as the perfect fusion of private residence, stately home, and symbol of 15th-century Venetian magnificence. Located in the prestigious Dorsoduro district, between the Salute and Piazza San Marco, an area historically favored by illustrious figures and foreign residents, Ca' Dario is a unique palazzo offering an exclusive and unparalleled Venetian lifestyle experience. Every corner reflects the art, history, and culture of a city that has served as a bridge between East and West for centuries. Ca' Dario is more than just a building: it is a piece of history, a noble residence with deep roots and a bright future, perfect for those seeking elegance, prestige, and an authentic connection with the most exclusive side of Venice. After San Marco, the Dorsoduro district is home to the largest concentration of important museums, including the Galleria dell'Accademia, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, and the Punta della Dogana - François Pinault Foundation. Also worth a visit are the San Trovaso boatyard and Campo Santa Margherita, a popular meeting place for Venetians and students. The property is located in the heart of the Dorsoduro neighborhood, just steps from the Chiesa della Salute and very close to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum and the Punta della Dogana-François Pinault exhibition.
