Description
A Masterful Transformation from Modest to Marvelous!
On strolling through Venice have you ever wondered what secret gardens lie beyond those tall palazzo walls where trees and shrubs peek tantalisingly over the ancient terracotta brickwork…?
Well, now you can find out!
On the first floor to the rear of the beautiful 15th century Grand Canal Palazzo Loredan Dell’Ambasciatore in Dorsoduro, and with private water access and views across oleander to the owner’s private palazzo gardens, sits this hushed and high-class little haven for 4.
Decorated with a natural elegance that befits its noble surroundings (indeed the palace itself was the birthplace of not one but two ancient Doges of Venice… if only walls could talk!), and ideally situated for experiencing a laid-back life amongst the locals, simply taking in the sights, or getting gloriously lost within the tangle of Venetian ‘calli’, accommodation is both charming and cosy in equal measure and comprises –
- A stylish and compact sitting room facing the palazzo gardens, furnished in restful colours embellished with ruby-red accents
- An additional small living room with two smartly upholstered single/day beds and a TV, also facing the gardens
- A brand new bespoke and fully fitted kitchen/dining room in an attractive dove blue-grey and with seating for 4
- A delightful master bedroom in a delicious shade of what we like to think of as lip-smacking ‘zabaglione’ (!) with a king size bed and a light dusting of period furniture
- A newly fitted bathroom with restored stone archway, up-to-date fittings, extensive mosaic tiling and a bathtub with shower over
OUR COMMENT
A little piece of heaven in a Grand Canal palazzo – freshly renovated and facing a secret garden in one of the loveliest and most sought-after districts of town.
Set between the Accademia Bridge & Galleries and the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th Century Venice, well away from the tourist bustle and with lots to see and do right on your doorstep.
Within a 2-minute stroll of the pretty as a picture Campo San Barnaba (location of a number of well known film scenes, think ‘Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade’ and ‘Summertime’ starring Katharine Hepburn), along with a plethora of local bars, well-reviewed restaurants, craft shops and food shops including the renowned Pasticceria Colussi for sinfully fabulous ‘frittelle’ during Carnival! and the scenic fruit and vegetable boat moored on the canal.
Also close to the stunning Zattere waterfront with its wonderful canal views, the 2-floor Punto supermarket at Campo Santa Margherita (itself a lively hub of student and local life), and the vaporetto (water bus) stops at Ca’ Rezzonico and Accademia (the latter just in front of the VOV office!) for easy travel to the sights of your choice.
Are you a part of a larger group who'd like to stay close together at the Palazzo? Other apartments available at this prestigious property include Ca' Cerchieri Mezzanine, Ca' Cerchieri Terrace and the spectacular Ca' Cerchieri Piano Nobile and Ca’ Cerchieri Loredan.

We loved the location of this apartment, tucked down a quiet alley but just a couple of minutes walk from good local shops and bars in Dorsoduro and the Campo Santa Margherita in particular. Also very convenient for a water bus stop so we could arrive from the airport by Alilaguna and take a trip to the other islands with ease. Also just a couple of minutes from the Academia Bridge and Gallerie. The bed was super comfortable and big, plenty of cupboard space and a nice living room overlooking the gardens. In a lovely building with grand marble hallway!

An oven in the kitchen would have been useful, but we managed with the hob and microwave.

Stayed 4 nights and LOVED everything about Ca Cerchieri 1! Super easy to get to, we took waterbus 1 from the Venice train station for $7.50 per person and arrived at the Accademia stop where a lovely gentleman met us and walked us to the apt which is an easy 2 min walk. You can also take a water taxi which s you on the boat dock of the apt building, more expensive. The apt is located in a beautiful historic building located right on the Grand Canal! Our favorite thing to do in Venice was to watch the boats on the canal from the boat dock in front of the building. There is a lovely garden in the rear of the building which is quiet and peaceful. The apt itself was very clean and very comfortable. The sheets and master bed very cozy, our 13 yr old twin girls slept on the 2 day beds and didn’t complain, they are like twin beds and comfy as well. The washer worked great and there is plenty of space to hang clothes in the tall closets in the master bedroom. Air conditioning worked great and we appreciated the complementary water and champagne left in our fridge! The kitchen is very cute and well equipped for cooking should you choose to do. Would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in Venice, space was perfect for 4, if you need more space they have other apts and excellent service! Stay here, you will love it!!

I have rented from Views on Venice for over ten years. I have stayed in a few different apartments, based on the size needed. All of the apartments I have stayed in were clean, well located, and Very comfortable. That being said, the people at Views on Venice are the most efficient, accomodating and thoughtful people . They attend to every wish, and instantly do so, smiling all the time. No wonder this agency gets a five star rating all the time. They make your stay in Venice the memorable experience it should be. Look no further.

VOV is the only agency I'll use for Venice: I trust everyone working there to give me what I need at the best possible price, plus things I hadn't anticipated such as BREAKFAST SUPPLIES and LAUNDRY SERVICE. I can't rave enough about the level of very personable service provided each and every time, in every circumstance. It is very appreciated by a working mom of 2 young kids, who just loves to come to Venice whenever I can.

An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Mark’s Square. Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard ‘Corte Rubbi’, on the Castello/San Marco border, this once forgotten building has been magically transformed by restorers with vision and interior design savoir-faire. Standing at the gondola-busy T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, and encapsulating 10 dazzling apartments of varying colourway and size, the newly launched Corte Rubbi is but a stroll to some of Venice’s most iconic attractions and countless beguiling vistas on which to feast your eyes! Easy to find (when you know the way!) from the shop-lined Campo San Bartolomeo and Salizada San Lio on one of Venice’s canal-encircled ‘islands within an island’, these imaginatively furnished apartments offer Wi-Fi and a communal laundry room and are spread across 4 floors with all upper floors reached by stairs. Highly contemporary in style, air-conditioned** throughout and ranging from a charming studio for 4 to a fabulous penthouse with rooftop terrace, Corte Rubbi’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include: Corte Rubbi 5 – on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs – sleeping 2+1 A beautifully attired bijou studio enjoying canal views from its 2 windows to the fore and comprising: A charming main living / dining / sleeping area in fashionably clashing shades of flamingo pink and scarlet with Venetian terrazzo flooring, wooden beamed ceiling, a double bed with twin bunk beds to the rear, a well-equipped kitchenette for light cooking, and a dining area seating 4 A luxurious bathroom to the side with marble walls and chromotherapy shower Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other apartments within this palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1, Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514 OUR COMMENT A bijou studio for 4 bursting with colour and joie de vivre, in a vibrant, central and endlessly fascinating part of town. A few steps away from the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava and close to a host of famous sights and attractions including the atmospheric Venetian time-capsule that is the Querini Stampalia, the fabulous Palazzo Grimani just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of San Zaccaria with its crypt and wonderful Bellini altarpiece, and Vivaldi’s La Pietà on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront… … A short stroll towards a very sedate pace of life lived out amongst the tranquil calles, canals and green spaces of Castello with its laid-back and very genuine neighbourhood vibe… … Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square (‘the Piazza’) gloriously near-empty before its visitors arrive… or visit at night when the orchestras of Quadri and Florian play*, the bells of the Campanile (bell tower) toll, the marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness… Close to a host of shops, restaurants and bars including the much-lauded Alle Testiere, the upmarket Bistrot de Venise and Alle Corone of the nearby Hotel Reali, the charming Osteria Al Portego (delicious cicheti!) and Osteria Ae Sconte, plus Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa with its tables on the campo. Also within easy reach of 4 well-stocked supermarkets – a Despar at Calle al Ponte de la Guerra, a COOP at Salizada San Lio, and a COOP and a Despar on the Riva del Carbon (near the Rialto Bridge), along with a ‘Vino Sfuso’ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocer’s stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
