Caâ Del Monastero 7
Introducing the very special Caâ Del Monastero - a fine antique residence comprising 8 superbly restored apartments of varying size (including Caâ Del Monastero 7 - see its dedicated section below) situated in what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Zan DegolĂ (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 Veniceâs most evocative and unspoilt neighbourhoods - indeed a step back in time - the Caâ Del Monastero apartments offer spacious and beautifully presented accommodation for small and medium size parties or up to 34 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 buildingâs ancient framework.
Enhanced by a range of up-to-date facilities as demanded by todayâs savvy traveller (including air-conditioning**, Wi-Fi internet connection and communal utility facilities), the Caâ 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.
Caâ Del Monastero 7
Rest easy beneath the rafters of this wooden beamed beauty, with your very own âaltanaâ roof terrace perched up on high.
Situated on the 3rd floor at the top of the residence and reached by lift to the 2nd floor and then taking one flight of stairs, this new âsleeps 2â apartment comprises a hugely characterful main room dominated by a spectacular sloping beamed ceiling** and incorporating all the main living/sleeping areas of the apartment in one!
At the heart of the apartment lies a comfy main sitting/TV area, while to the side sits a modern and well-equipped kitchen with all mod cons and a dining area seating 4 lit by adjacent side/roof lights.

Our Comment
Style, creature comforts and history combined, in an area brimming with local flavour.
Within easy walking distance of Veniceâs 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 doorstepâŠ
Moments to Campo San Giacomo Dellâ Orio - one of Veniceâs most charming âaway from the crowdsâ 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 Allâ Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta to name but a few, and within minutes of the Caâ 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 Caâ 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 Tintorettoâs, the vast palazzo-lined Campo San Polo plus the culinary delights and buzz of the Rialto
