Tesori di Celestia Venise - Appartement

Seek out the surprising ‘Tesori di Celestia’ - Treasures of Celestia - a beacon of antique & designer chic in the Castello sestiere
Lounging languorously behind a grand 15th century palazzo facade in one of the last remaining pockets of solidly traditional Venetian charm, this treasure trove apartment swaddles 8 in a stuccoed wonderland of time-honoured elegance and aristocratic good taste

Wearing the patina of its past with customary Venetian aplomb and harbouring a marvelously curated mélange of ancient beams, gleaming terrazzo and dazzling chandeliers offset with ‘of the moment’ furnishings fully in tune with modern times, the freshly renovated Tesori di Celestia comprises 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms arranged in 2 semi-independent apartments* connected by stairs

Promising Wi-Fi and air-conditioned*** luxury in an atmospheric setting a few paces from the virtually undiscovered Campo De La Celestia, accommodation is spread over 2 floors of the palazzo and comprises:


Ground Floor

A private internal entrance into…

A newly created 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom pied-à-terre with wooden beams and terrazzo flooring, perfect for cosying up or hunkering down (!) and comprising:

· An attractively furnished open-plan main living space with a sitting/dining area dressed in a fresh, modern style with an L-shaped sofa, a dining table, plus an up-to-date and fully equipped kitchen at one end with marble splash-back

· An inner hallway with built-in wardrobe leading on one side to a bijou double bedroom with double bed, and an ante-room with washing machine on the other which in turn leads to…

· A luxurious dove grey marble-clad bathroom with up-to-the-minute oval bathtub and separate shower


A monumental stone staircase rises up from the ground floor to the…


First Floor

Home to a remarkable 3 bedroom & 2 bathroom apartment reached via a private internal entrance and comprising:

· A breathtaking sitting/dining room - ravishing in its use of colour - spectacularly adorned with intricate 16th century stuccos, painted wooden beams hung with a Murano chandelier, mirror-like polished terrazzo and a wonderful mix of antiques offset with plump teal-blue velvet designer sofas and a mix of modern lighting - a match made in heaven!

· An up-to-date and fully equipped kitchen to the side with marble splash-back

· An enormous master double bedroom/boudoir where the atmosphere of the palazzo’s history well and truly comes alive! A bedroom to remember - furnished with a wonderfully romantic four poster double bed, a scattering of period pieces, a modern chaise longue - the highlight of which is a spectacular marble fireplace (now used as a bookshelf) fringed with delicate lace-like stuccos which are echoed around the room

· A dainty jewel-box of a twin bedroom with 2 single beds sitting beneath a pair of chandeliers and gilt rococo over-mantle mirrors

And on the opposite side of the apartment…

· A sweet double bedroom - smaller and simpler in style to the others - with a double bed and a pristine en suite dove grey marble-clad bathroom with shower


And finally, just off the apartment landing…

· An additional deluxe bathroom matching in house-style and colour with trendy oval bathtub and separate shower


* Note that the 2 apartments are not available for individual rental (i.e. they must be rented together) and so they are ideal if 2 members of your group would like a little more autonomy/privacy!


OUR COMMENT

Your bounty awaits you on your Venetian voyage of discovery - tucked away off the beaten path but only a short stroll to St. Mark’s square!

A characterful apartment in a remarkably unspoilt area shared with a barely discernable trickle of inquisitive and well-informed visitors seeking out the 'genuine' everyday Venice of gently flapping washing lines, sun-dappled courtyards and characterful calli - yet still close to the action if you want to get busy about town

Within steps of the peaceful Palladian church of San Francesco della Vigna (St Francis of the Vines) with its soaring bell-tower and delightfully peaceful cloisters, and on the 'right' side of town for visiting the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini

A gentle walk to the imposing Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (one of the largest churches in Venice and burial place of no fewer than 25 Venetian Doges), the richly atmospheric Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni with its paintings by Carpaccio, and to the 'Questura' office of Donna Leon's fictional Commissario Guido Brunetti

Also within a stone’s throw of a 'Punto Simply' supermarket near San Lorenzo and the small local shops of Salizada San Francesco and Barbaria Del Tole for all your self-catering needs… and only 150m to the Vaporetto (water bus) stop at Celestia (with no bridges to cross in between) for travel around the city, trips to beaches of the Lido and visits to the glass-blowing island of Murano, the rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the ancient island of Torcello with its 7th Century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta
