Description
Ca’ Del Monastero 9
Introducing the very special Ca’ Del Monastero - a fine antique residence comprising 9 superbly restored apartments of varying size (including Ca’ Del Monastero 9 - see its dedicated section below) situated in what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San 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.
*Are you a part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer eight 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 8.
Ca’ Del Monastero 9
Spoil yourself rotten in this seductive new penthouse kitted out in such style that you’ll never want to leave!
A striking addition to the fabulous Monastero family – with real personality and chock-full of charm – Ca’ Del Monastero 9 sleeps 4 guests in surroundings where the ancient and contemporary link together as one.
Recently refurbed in such a way as to blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic of the residence, and displaying a novel and imaginative approach to layout and functionality, the apartment is reached by taking a lift to the second floor, followed by two short staircases rising to meet you from the splendid communal entrance on the ground floor below.
Prepare to be bowled over as you step across the threshold into this handsome Santa Croce ‘home-from-home-with-a-heart’, where ruggedly hewn timbers soar overhead, russet red marble gleams with mirror-like effect, and comfortreigns supreme.
A clever re-configuration of the plentiful space, accommodation comprises a stylish and cosy main sitting room/TV area* in lavender blue and with elephant grey seating beneath sloping eaves and, just to the side, a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast area* with all mod cons.
A modern chandelier-lit dining area with a dining suite for 4 plus a small relaxation area lies just beyond, and to either side, Ca’ Del Monastero 9’s bright and radiant dual-aspect double bedrooms designed along clean lines and each separated from the dining area by a sliding partition** - one with a double bed, and the other with two singles which can be converted into a double bed upon your request.
And completing the accommodation at the opposite end of the apartment - a handy cloakroom, and two spotless and equally well-designed bathrooms, one with a bathtub* and separate shower and the other with a shower.
* Please consult the photo gallery carefully for an idea of the sloping ceilings/restricted headspace present in certain areas of the apartment
** Please bear in mind if seeking absolute privacy that these partitions do not reach full ceiling height!
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.

Ca’ Del Monastero 9 is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos! It is comfortable, cozy and well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The apartment is quite spacious with windows that provide views of neighboring rooftops as well as the street below. The location is very convenient a short walk to restaurants (including Majer for breakfast), a gelateria, a grocery store and several bars and wineshops. There is a private water taxi stop not too far away and the public water taxi stop is just a few minutes away walking. The neighborhood was quiet, clean and safe. It's also within walking distance to the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco, with lots of distractions (shops and restaurants along the way). Luca, who met us upon arrival, was so awesome! He explained everything we needed to know, provided recommendations and checked in on us during our way. An overall wonderful experience!

The apartment is in a quiet square away from the crowds. Nowhere in Venice seems to be more than 30 minutes’ walk from anywhere else so the location can’t be called inconvenient. The person who met us was helpful and efficient and the apartment itself perfectly clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. There were four of us and we had a very pleasant few days. Highly recommended.

The only thing that was missing were bathrobes as we travelled with another couple and it would have been nice to walk to the bathroom in a robe rather than in our towels. I contacted the office whilst I was there and they responded straight away, the apartment was lovely and the service from views on Venice has been excellent from booking right through to departure. Will recommend to my friends! Thank you

Je pense que le confort du canapé convertible pourrait être amélioré et installer un rideau occultant dans la cuisine serait un plus pour ceux qui dorment dans le salon .

Ottima qualità a Venezia che non è sempre scontata in città. Prezzi apparentemente non bassi ma avendo per lo più case di grandi dimensioni la cifra suddivisa per gli occupanti è assolutamente corretta.

L’appartamento è veramente spazioso e ben organizzato con due grandi camere da letto e due bagni. Il servizio di VoV sempre super professionale e di aiuto. Ci hanno trovato una guida molto brava con due soli giorni di preavviso. Sempre puntualissimi e reperibili per qualsiasi informazione e richiesta. Inoltre trovo sempre unitissima la guida sui ristoranti per quartiere messa a disposizione degli ospiti. Molto veritiera e utile per orientarsi tra i numerosissimi ristoranti di Venezia.

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. 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.
