Historic Palaces in Venice

Many historic palaces and aristocratic houses have open their doors to hospitality. The Venetian Palaces are the nicest examples of this kind of accommodation. This is because of the charm of the city itself, because of the architecture of each of them, because in Venice everything is nicer and everything seems more important and unique.

Here we want to put to your attention a few of these accommodation we list in our website: each of them is a possibility to experience Venice and to breath a old past time atmosphere.

"At Home A Palazzo" is situated in Venice, on the third floor of Ca´Pesaro Papafava, noble 14th century palace, recently renovated, very large, around 500 metres squared. The east wing is reserved for guests, the rooms are bright with a wide view over neighbouring houses. It is situated before the Abbazia della Misericordia and the Scuola Grande della Misericordia - Boat No. 1, Ca´ d´Oro halt (2 minutes on foot). The ground floor entrance hall has also a door overlooking the waterway, hence the possibility of mooring water taxis.

Right in the heart of Venice, just beside the Beggar's Bridge, in the New Foundations ("Fondamenta Nuove") part of the Sestiere of Cannaregio, you will find the Seventeenth-Century Merati-Berlendis Palace building, which is a national monument. It still has a rich and elegant series of stuccoes, the work of the Swiss Ticino sculptors Abbondio Stazio and Carpoforo Tencalla. Here, you can have the holiday of your dreams in Venice, the most wonderful of homes whose inhabitants have included Friedrich Nietsche for as many as four years. Here you will find all the charm of Venice summed up: all its history and its breathtaking beauty.

Palazzo Foscarini

Palazzo Foscarini is situated on the Canale Santa Margherita and faces the beautiful façade of the Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini. The Palace was built by the Foscarini family and remained in their possession until the fall of the Republic. As members of the Venetian Nobility, they are particularly remembered for having provided the city with one of the last important Doges- who was also a noted man of letters. Today, it still boasts a number of remarkable artistic and architectural features which bear witness to its noteworthy history; these can be found both on the exterior of the building and within the individual apartments.

Enjoy your stay in Venice and experience this unique city from the history of its buildings.
