Description
Ca’ Del Monastero 8
Introducing the very special Ca’ Del Monastero - a fine antique residence comprising 9 superbly restored apartments of varying size (including Ca’ Del Monastero 8 - see its dedicated section below) situated in what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Zan Degolà (one of the oldest in Venice), moments from the Grand Canal in the district of Santa Croce.
Enjoying an atmosphere of calm serenity in what must surely be one of Venice’s most evocative and unspoilt neighbourhoods - indeed a step back in time - the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments offer spacious and beautifully presented accommodation for small and medium size parties or up to 38 guests if taken together.*
No expense has been spared in its recent remodelling…
Carefully co-ordinated contemporary furnishings and soft neutral colours meld seamlessly against a traditional backdrop of polished red marble and/or traditional Venetian terrazzo flooring, while stylish high-spec fittings and attractive finishes, such as textured resin walls and luxurious feature wall coverings, give a fresh and fashionable twist to the building’s ancient framework.
Enhanced by a range of up-to-date facilities as demanded by today’s savvy traveller (including air-conditioning***, Wi-Fi internet connection and communal utility facilities), the Ca’ Del Monastero apartments are perfectly placed for communing with the true and heart and soul of the city and for visiting all that Venice has to offer while providing all the comforts of modern city living.
Ca’ Del Monastero 8
Neat, petite, convenient and sweet! – A brand new addition to the Ca’ Del Monastero residence, offering 1 bedroom/1 bathroom plus a shared furnished courtyard**
Situated to the rear of the building with views over the ‘Salizada’ to the pretty walled rear garden of Venice’s Natural History Museum at the Fondaco Dei Turchi, the apartment sleeps 2 in comfort on the 2nd floor reached by stairs.
Accessed via an entrance on the Salizada below (note the plaque on the wall dedicated to Don Luigi Caburlotto who, in this house in 1850, founded the religious ‘Institute of the Daughters of San Giuseppe’), the apartment comprises a cosy main sitting room decorated in restful coffee colours leading to a well-equipped and fully-fitted kitchen/dining room, while at the opposite end of the apartment lies the well-proportioned bedroom with double bed and plenty of storage, and to its side, the apartment’s modern bathroom with shower.
And last but not least, access on the ground floor to the shared internal furnished courtyard – a little haven of calm set away from the world!
* Are you a part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer seven other apartments within this residence: Ca’ Del Monastero 1, Ca’ Del Monastero 2, Ca’ Del Monastero 3, Ca’ Del Monastero 4, Ca’ Del Monastero 5,Ca’ Del Monastero 6, Ca’ Del Monastero 7, Ca’ Del Monastero 9.
** Please note that the furnished internal courtyard is shared with guests of Ca’ Del Monastero 5
Our Comment
Style, creature comforts and history combined, in an area brimming with local flavour.
Within easy walking distance of Venice’s Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma if travelling light, and even closer to the vaporetto (waterbus) stops at Riva di Biasio and San Stae on the Grand Canal for hassle-free travel around the city.
And so much to see and do right on your doorstep…
Moments to Campo San Giacomo Dell’ Orio - one of Venice’s most charming ‘away from the crowds’ tree-filled squares and home to a well-stocked Coop supermarket and nearby local shops - and a short walk to a Conad supermarket on the Rio Marin canal.
Close to a great variety of cafes, bars and eateries including All’ Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta to name but a few, and within minutes of the Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, Palazzo Mocenigo at San Stae (Museum of the History of Fabrics, Costumes and Perfumes) and the Fondazione Prada at Ca’ Corner Della Regina.
A leisurely stroll to the 14th Century Franciscan Church of the Frari, (home to Canova's extraordinary triangular marble tomb and Titian's legendary masterpiece, the 'Assumption'), the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with its amazing Tintoretto’s, the vast palazzo-lined Campo San Polo plus the culinary delights and buzz of the Rialto.

Great quiet neighborhood, the staff was very helpful getting a water taxi to the airport and explaining everything in the apartment. It is 4 flights up so be ready for steps but easy. Comfortable bedding.

Not a con, but just a note for folks considering this unit. This unit is on the top floor. So be prepared to haul your luggage up a couple of flights of stairs.

Sunny and cozy apartment. Good range of kitchen and bathroom facilities. Quiet neighborhood, good location near vaporetto stop. Serena made an extra effort to pick us up from the vaporetto stop and show us around.

The apartment is in a lovely quiet yet convenient area, near a genuine local square. It was lovely to hear the sound of kids playing in the grounds of the nearby school. It is fresh, clean and well equipped - the only issue we had was not being able to turn the heating off - but maybe our ineptitude. A good value apartment with a small living area but roomy bedroom and kitchen. Overall, a thumbs up.

I had a really splendid holiday in Venice. The lovely apartment, and the kindness and efficiency of Annalisa, Marco and Cristina during the booking process and on my arrival, were first-rate. As a single traveller, it is very important to me that I feel reassured and comfortable with the arrangements and that everything goes well when I reach Venice - that can be an anxious time, but Views on Venice made me feel welcome, and, indeed, like a privileged visitor. I am very grateful to you all and I will most certainly contact you again the next time I visit Venice.

Views on Venice was a beautiful place to stay. Very professional staff made checking in easy and provided us with a great map that made navigating Venice a bit easier. The unit was fully equipped with everything we needed. One of the best parts of this unit is its location! We were very close to all of the sights and two amazing restaurants, but it was far enough away that it was quiet with very little tourist foot traffic. We were excited to use the patio posted in the photos, however it is on the first floor and the apartment is on the third which made it less inviting to use- other than that, the unit made our stay in Venice very memorable!

A light, bright apartment with lots of appeal, newly discovered in the Dorsoduro district. Simply furnished and peacefully situated in that upmarket and very select part of town between the Accademia Galleries and Bridge and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Ca’ Dell’ Abate is on the second floor and sleeps two in freshly restored and air-conditioned surroundings, and has a really super terrace and internet connection too! Within a short stroll of the majestic domes of the Salute, the contemporary art of the Punta Della Dogana and the gorgeous views (and ice-cream!) along the Zattere promenade, the apartment is reached via an external staircase leading directly up from a secret little courtyard garden (SO typical of Venice) to a spacious tiled terrace all of its own. A splendid spot for relaxing and for taking in the atmosphere, the terrace (furnished with table and chairs) offers tranquil garden and rooftop views plus a small sideways glimpse towards a quaint Venetian bridge and the flourishing fondamenta leading directly to the Guggenheim - perfect for watching the art-lovers go by! Once inside, accommodation comprises a roomy and well-presented sitting/dining room with cool terrazzo flooring, a sofa, wooden beams and two windows overlooking the hidden little Rio delle Torreselle canal below; a simple yet well-equipped galley-style kitchen perfectly sufficient for easy self-catering; a large bright bedroom with double bed, terrazzo flooring and two windows looking onto the terrace, and an up-to-date bathroom with nicely tiled shower. OUR COMMENT Peaceful accommodation and much-prized outside space - a ‘delizia per due’ in a classy locale. Close to three vaporetto (water bus) stops - Accademia, Zattere and Spirito Santo - for easy travel around the city and to a great selection of little shops, bars and restaurants including the canal-side Cantinone Storico, the tiny and convivial Corner Pub, the upmarket Ai Gondolieri and Agli Alboretti and the popular Bar da Gino serving super panini. ; Moments to Campo San Vio where one can sit and watch the boats chug by along the Grand Canal (and the setting for a number of scenes in David Lean’s classic 1955 film ‘Summertime’ starring Katharine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi), and a stone’s throw to the ‘traghetto’ at Calle Lanza/Calle Del Tragheto San Gregorio ferrying passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to Santa Maria Del Giglio and the attractions of San Marco. For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.30 reviews

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 7 – on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs – sleeping 2 (+1) A ravishing and restful 1 bedroomed apartment comprising: A main living / dining area with well-equipped kitchenette (suited to light cooking)…. strikingly presented in shades of steely blue and dusky rose pink and with wooden beams overhead, a combination of Venetian terrazzo and wooden parquet flooring underfoot, a dining table for 3, plus exposed painted brickwork and a trapeze-artist mural set above a luxuriously large ruby-red velvet sofa (sleeping 1/for lounging) A warm and inviting wooden beamed double bedroom in gold and pink with a beautiful Murano glass chandelier overhead, terrazzo flooring underfoot and a tall window just to the side of a Rococo-style double bed A luxurious bathroom with chromotherapy shower, situated at the apartment entrance/to the rear of the living room 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 5, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514 OUR COMMENT A delightful city-base for 3, full of style 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. Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the ‘Traghetto’ gondola ferry carrying passengers across the Grand Canal between the Riva Del Carbon and San Silvestro in the San Polo district and the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for trips around town, visits to the Lido beaches and to the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini. *Note that performances are dependent on weather and season **Please note that the operation of air conditioning and heating are subjected to the municipality regulation. Generally, the heating works from middle of October to middle of April, while air conditioning works between middle of Aprile to middle of October. Please contact us for further information.16 reviews
