Palazzetto Salute

Venice’s famously golden light spills over terrazzo floors at this vintage-inspired, modern-feeling apartment perched above the Grand Canal. There’s something to intrigue at every turn, whether it’s the views of the Salute Church, the sculptural ’50s- and ’60s-style furniture, or the marble-splashed bathrooms. Board a water taxi on the landing next to the villa and set off along the canal. Watch gondolas streaming from the canal to the lagoon over a bottle of prosecco on the private terrace. For a fancier evening, ask about booking a catered dinner in the apartment. The light that inspired countless artists pours through the apartment’s tall windows and bounces off gleaming terrazzo floors, smooth marmorino plaster walls, and delicate moldings on the ceilings. The pared-down furnishings, designed by a who’s-who of mid-century Italian icons, feel like sculptures set in 2 living rooms and a dining room. A galley kitchen is fully equipped and even has a breakfast table. Be sure to block off some time in the marble bathrooms, where the stone elevates a bath or shower to a spa-worthy experience. With the Guggenheim Museum, Salute Church, and Grand Canal in view, it’s a short trip across the water to several of Venice’s top attractions. Take a water taxi or vaporetto to the Basilica di San Marco and Doge’s Palace, wander inside neighborhood churches that house art masterpieces, and stop for a coffee or gelato and people-watch.

Imperiale

Piano music drifts from one frescoed room to another at this beautifully restored piano nobile apartment on Venice’s Grand Canal. Set in the 17th-century Palazzo Grimani, the residence offers a taste of life in an era of grand entertaining—along with plenty of modern comforts. It’s across from the Gritti Palace Hotel and next to the Grand Canal, a water-taxi ride from the city’s best-known sights. A private balcony overlooking the canal is the perfect spot for an afternoon spritz and snack while watching the city pass by. The grand piano stands ready to play in the evenings. The villa’s double-door entrance leads to a pair of elegant salons that show off its scale and style, with original stucchi twining up the walls and colorful frescoes gracing the ceilings. Today, they’re set up as a formal living and dining room whose terrazzo floors are covered with antique furniture. Off the dining room, find an intimate breakfast room and a fully equipped 21st-century kitchen, where sage-green cabinetry echoes the delicate tones of the frescoes in the other rooms. Step out of either of 2 entrances and into the heart of Venice. Walk to neighborhood cafés and restaurants for morning coffee and post-sightseeing dinners, and board water taxis for a trip down the Grand Canal, past palaces, churches, museums, and more. You can also walk to the must-see St. Mark’s Square and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, and plan to spend an afternoon shopping in the city’s historic center. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.
