In the district most beloved by art collectors, academics and those seeking an authentic residential experience in Venice away from the mass tourist trails, this third-floor apartment in a historic building in Dorsoduro offers one of the most privileged views the city has to offer: every window frames the dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, the Grand Canal’s most iconic architectural feature, which accompanies daily life with a view that shifts in light and atmosphere from dawn to dusk. With approximately 90 sqm, ceilings nearly 4 metres high and original exposed trusses, the property combines the architectural features of a historic Venetian building with a refined and understated contemporary finish, positioning itself as one of the finest pied-à-terre available in the district.The sleeping area comprises a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a second double bedroom served by a further bathroom, ensuring adequate comfort and privacy for both the owners and any guests. The bedrooms maintain the same quality of views as the living area: the view of the Salute basilica is constant, almost a silent presence that constantly reminds you of where you are. The bathrooms, refurbished with understated, high-quality finishes, complete the contemporary character of the interiors without detracting from the historic character of the building’s shell.The private roof terrace is the feature that elevates this property from a luxury flat to a Venetian residence in the fullest sense of the term. Accessible from the residence and overlooking the rooftops of the sestiere, this raised wooden terrace – a traditional Venetian solarium historically reserved for patrician families – offers a 360-degree panorama: the dome of the Salute basilica dominates in the foreground, whilst beyond St Mark’s Basin the low, tranquil silhouette of Giudecca emerges, with its Palladian churches.
