About this apartment rental
Welcome to the Monteverdi Apartment, an exceptional noble-floor residence overlooking the enchanting Campo Sant’Angelo, in the heart of Venice’s prestigious San Marco district. This elegant campo is widely regarded as one of the most desirable locations in the historic centre, offering a unique balance of tranquillity, architectural beauty, and cultural richness—remarkably serene despite its central position. From the apartment, the views unfold beautifully, stretching from the gentle movement of the water below to the open Venetian sky above.
Named after Claudio Monteverdi—the celebrated composer who lived in Venice during the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque—the apartment occupies the “piano nobile” of a historic palazzo. It is accessed directly from the square via a grand and characterful staircase, setting the tone for the elegance that lies within.
Spanning approximately 230 square metres, the residence enjoys triple exposure, high ceilings, and an abundance of large windows that flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day. The design is a masterful blend of contemporary sophistication and historic grandeur, where refined modern interiors harmonise seamlessly with original architectural elements and idyllic canal views.
Among the apartment’s most remarkable features are its exquisite early 19th-century stuccoes and frescoes, meticulously restored during a recent conservation-led renovation. These rare decorative details lend the property an atmosphere of timeless refinement and authenticity.
The living spaces are both generous and beautifully composed. A grand living room overlooks the campo, while an elegant dining room provides a distinguished setting for entertaining. The fully equipped, contemporary kitchen is both stylish and highly functional. The apartment offers three spacious double bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with shower.
The master suite is particularly captivating, featuring an intimate adjoining bathing room with a freestanding bathtub—an indulgent space where guests can relax while admiring the surrounding views, a truly memorable experience.
A central hall gracefully separates the living and sleeping areas and leads to a traditional Istrian stone balcony. Additional features include a dedicated laundry and storage room, as well as a generous entrance area with ample wardrobe space, ensuring effortless comfort even during extended stays.
Naturally, the apartment is equipped with every modern convenience, including climate-controlled heating and air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and a full range of premium appliances—offering the perfect balance between historic charm and contemporary luxury.
The location further enhances the appeal. The Vaporetto stop and a supermarket are just a two-minute walk away, while excellent restaurants and cafés are found throughout the surrounding streets. Cultural landmarks such as Palazzo Fortuny and Teatro La Fenice are just moments away. Within a short stroll, guests can reach the iconic St Mark's Square, along with its celebrated monuments—the Basilica, the Campanile, the Clock Tower, and the Doge’s Palace—as well as hidden gems like the enchanting Scala Contarini del Bovolo.
The Monteverdi Apartment is a true Venetian jewel—perfectly suited to discerning travellers who seek an authentic, elegant, and deeply atmospheric residence in one of the city’s most privileged locations.
