Commanding a breathtaking position directly on a picturesque Venetian canal, and historically immortalized in the master paintings of Canaletto and Guardi, this monumental waterfront palazzo stands as a true Venetian dream come true. Located in a deeply authentic and peaceful district away from the tourist crowds, the property rises beside a majestic 16th-century church designed by Palladio and an iconic 15th-century bell tower by Codussi, capturing flawless views in every direction. The estate is ideally nestled between Venice's two premier cultural exhibition hubs: the Giardini della Biennale and the Arsenale.

A lavish contemporary architectural restoration, masterfully executed by the world-renowned interior designer Ilaria Miani, has turned the palazzo into an unmatched visual gem. The interiors represent a masterclass in modern luxury, pairing soaring vaulted brickwork and historic exposed timber ceilings with refined custom furnishings. The estate is defined by 36 grand windows that flood the staterooms with natural light while mirroring the canging movements of the surrounding canals.

The palazzo’s sprawling multi-level layout is connected by both a grand staircase and a private elevator, tailored for high-end celebrations and multi-generational privacy:
- The Ground Floor & Monumental Cavana: Features a grand 1,000 sq ft vaulted hall built inside the historical Cavana (the traditional covered boat shelter), optimized to host fine indoor dining for up to 50 seated guests, corporate summits, or private cinema screenings. This level holds a professional executive kitchen (equipped with Viking, Bulthaup, and Gaggenau appliances) and a luxury wellness SPA complete with a private gym and a large indoor hot tub overlooking the lawns.
- The Secret Garden & The Squero: Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a rare private walled garden enriched by a large dining pergola and an outdoor lounge kitchen bar. The grounds incorporate the Squero (a former historic gondola boatyard), now converted into a sleek 800 sq ft covered pavilion tailored for al fresco entertainment right by the estate’s private deep-water landing jetty.
- The Main Staterooms & Suites: (Sleeps 17) The first and second floors host airy connected living and formal dining quarters. The sleeping layout comprises 6 formal bedrooms (including two grand master suites, one featuring an integrated private Turkish bath), all finished with bespoke materials and premium modern ensuite bathrooms.
- The Loft & Panoramic Altana Deck: The top level opens into a spacious loft lounge featuring flexible extra bedding configurations and a bathroom. Steps lead directly to the magnificent Altana (the traditional Venetian wooden rooftop deck), offering an unmatched vantage point to enjoy sunset cocktails while surveying the entire skyline of Venice.
- The Detached Art Gallery: Completing the estate is a standalone 2,000 sq ft contemporary art gallery and multimedia conference hall, boasting its own gallery garden and full wheelchair accessibility—perfect for high-profile exhibitions, yoga retreats, or milestone wedding parties.

The ultimate waterfront historical sanctuary providing absolute seclusion and old-world elegance, completely private from the public eye yet steps away from the secret hidden gems of the lagoon.
