Luxurious family apartment in Venice on the Grand Canal

OVERVIEW Canella

MINIMUM STAY 3 NIGHTS

A luxury apartment on the 3rd floor of a privately owned palazzo with a private terrace with views onto the legendary Venetian lagoon and the cupola of Santa Maria della Salute.

The Palazzo is exceptionally well located at the mouth of Venice’s Grand Canal, within a stone’s throw of the glorious Piazza San Marco.

The apartment was redecorated in a pure, classic style with a contemporary twist, always keeping in mind a high level of comfort. A panoramic wallpaper showing Constantinople in the 16th century sets the tone.

The bedrooms were designed around the bed, still the most important piece of furniture is the room! After a careful selection process, Ca’nova chose beds by one of the world’s leading bedding companies, Simmons. Incidentally, Simmons also provides the Fours Seasons hotels.

A compact and well equipped kitchen, adjoining the living room, allows the preparation of breakfast and light meals. Fresh croissants will be delivered to your door every morning.

Thus, surrounded by comfort and beauty, you will feel spoilt and privileged. Daily maid service in the mornings. Access to a convivial terrace shared by all guests of the Palazzo Ca’nova. A private secretary. Restaurants and shops in the vicinity – among which the well-known Harry’s Bar, declared a national landmark in 2001 by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Affairs.

ESTATE: Palazzo Ca'nova

Ca’nova… This name, in the dialectal Italian of Venice, is a contraction of Casa Nova, new house. And indeed, the Ca’nova historical Palazzo has been for a great part renovated and given a new lease on life.

We were extremely happy and flattered, at Trust&Travel, when the owners of this outstanding residence chose to leave in our care the refurbishing and promotion of three of its spacious apartments.

Redecorated in a pure, classic style with a contemporary twist and a colour palette inspired by 17^th and 18^th century paintings of Venice, these three apartments are exceptionally well located: at the mouth of Venice’s Grand Canal, opposite the Santa Maria della Salute basilica and the Punta della Dogana museum – where the Pinault contemporary art collection can be seen, – and within a stone’s throw of the glorious Piazza San Marco.

The origins of the Ca’nova Palazzo date back to the 12^th century, when the Barozzi family built the Ca’Barozzi, a crenellated building which had a porch, an open gallery and two large square towers. In the 17^th century, the medieval structure was remodelled into a Renaissance palazzo by architect Bartolomeo Manopola.

In the early 19^th century, the Treves family, barons of Bonfili, acquired the residence from the Emo family, and asked Giuseppe Borsato – an Italian painter who, among other things, decorated the Teatro La Fenice – to revamp and enhance their new property. Some of the furniture we used for the decoration was designed by Borsato for the Palazzo in 1826.

The Treves family vividly exemplifies the emancipation of the local Jewish community and its full integration into the Italian society of the 19^th century.

Venice, not only famous for its great monuments and bewitching atmosphere, but also for its numerous and colourful festivals, celebrations, revelry… The acclaimed art and architecture Biennale, the international Film Festival, the Regata Storica and the Vogalonga rowing races, the sparkling Festa del Redentore, the world-famous Carnival of Venice… In this respect, locals and visitors are spoilt for choice all year long!
