La Loggia Grand Canal

‘ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE’ from apartment La Loggia Grand Canal – a prestigious Grand Canal address with a private terrace on the water – stylish, convenient and offering sublime Grand Canal views.



Awesomely positioned in a candy-pink Gothic ‘palazzetto’ hidden from the hubbub of San Leonardo and moments from the boat-plied Cannaregio Canal, apartment La Loggia Grand Canal offers air-conditioning* and Wi-Fi along with 2 quietly stylish bedrooms sleeping 4 guests.



A masterclass in minimalism close to Venice’s Santa Lucia Station and the atmospheric Jewish Ghetto where towering buildings, a rich history and tradition go hand-in-hand, this magically positioned property is a picture of understated elegance, peacefully tucked away on its landside yet directly on the Grand Canal.



Sharing this length of the water with the 16th-century Palazzo Vendramin Calergi – final home of composer Richard Wagner and now the Casino of Venice – its chic accommodation covers 2 floors of the property and comprises:



•A private entrance on the Campiello del Remer (Little Square of the Rower) with etched glass panels opening directly into –



•La Loggia Grand Canal’s streamlined kitchen/dining room with artic-white integrated units, a very cool Retratos Iluminados 06 ceiling lamp by Instituto Campana set above a Knoll Saarinen Table with Tulip chairs seating 6, plus a resident penguin to greet you at the door!



•A spacious sitting room to the front ¬– bright, supremely tasteful and guarded by a docile polar bear! ¬and home to glossy white marble flooring reflecting the abundant light, rough-hewn wooden timbers adding warmth overhead, contemporary grey and teal-blue velvet furnishings beside a wall print of the George Peabody Library of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore and – and most jaw-droppingly fabulous of all – a wonderful glass-backed and partially-covered south-facing furnished terrace overlooking the glittering waters of the Grand Canal and enjoying an endlessly-fascinating and ever-changing vista extending from Ferrovia, the Scalzi and the Church of San Geremia to the right, across to the Fondaco Dei Turchi (Venice’s Natural History Museum) and the route to the Rialto to the left.



•A cool and calm double bedroom to the rear in muted mushroom colours with a modern 4-poster double bed, inbuilt wardrobe and an en suite bathroom to the side with a rain shower at its centre against a floor-to-ceiling sepia mural of the loggia at the Doge’s Palace.



A contemporary white-painted steel cantilevered staircase rises from the kitchen/dining room to the floor above where we find, on one side of the landing –



•A spacious and romantic master double bedroom/suite dressed in similar colours to bedroom no. 1 and with a double bed, inbuilt wardrobe, wooden flooring and an exquisite pair of dual-aspect, floor-to-ceiling Gothic windows opening onto a wraparound balcony looking over the campiello and the Grand Canal beneath – and, separated by a pair of sliding doors and a clear glass wall panel set above the bedhead*



And completing the accommodation on the opposite side of the landing –



•A separate modern bathroom with rain shower.



* Please note this feature if absolute privacy is important to your stay.



OUR COMMENT



Your own private ‘theatre box’ directly on the ‘Canale Grande’ where the spectacle of Venice springs to life before your eyes!



Within walking distance of Santa Lucia Railway Station (Ferrovia) and Piazzale Roma if travelling light, and close to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops – San Marcuola for hassle-free travel about town and Guglie on the Cannaregio Canal for travel to the beaches of the Lido, visits to the glass-blowing island of Murano and connections at Fondamente Novo for travel to the rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the ancient island of Torcello.



An easy stroll to the historic Jewish Ghetto (the oldest in the world) and to the Jewish Museum of Venice, to the bustling shops and food stalls along Rio Terà San Leonardo, to the fish stall near the Guglie Bridge and to the fresco-ceilinged Despar supermarket within the old Teatro Italia (visually remarkable both inside and out).

Also close to the well-regarded restaurant, La Colombina (near the Despar supermarket) and within easy reach of the popular Dalla Marisa and Trattoria Pontini on the Cannaregio Canal, and the Fondamenta Dei Ormesini and Fondamenta Misericordia waterfronts (reached via the Rio Terà Farsetti) for a great selection of laid-back local bars, cafes and restaurants including Sullaluna bookshop and bistrot, Al Timon, Dodo Caffè, Birreria Zanon, Da Rioba, Paradiso Perduto and Vino Vero… to name just a few!
