Piano Nobile Overlooking The Grand Canal In San Polo District

In one of the most evocative areas of the San Polo district, near San Tomà, we offer for sale an exceptionally charming Piano Nobile.
Located on the first floor of a refined Renaissance building—entirely rebuilt by the Dandolo family—this property is a true 17th-century jewel erected by noble houses that shaped the history of the Serenissima. The Dandolo lineage is one of the twelve apostolic families present at Venice’s origins and played a pivotal role in the history of the Venetian Republic, providing four Doges.

The entire palazzo enjoys a direct view of the Grand Canal and is framed by two historical buildings of great value. Accessed via a colonnaded courtyard featuring an original well-head and a private water entrance with twin gates, the first piano nobile benefits from an elevator, septic tanks, and a shared dock for boat mooring. Furthermore, the building underwent a meticulous restoration of its common areas, roof, and facades a few years ago.

The apartment includes a storage room in good condition on the ground floor and develops around a majestic Portego. This central hall overlooks the Grand Canal directly through a large four-light window (quadrifora) and four single-light windows (monofore), offering unique vistas of the city. Adjacent to it are two spacious rooms that can serve as bedrooms or sitting rooms, one of which provides access to a convenient mezzanine.

Opposite the living area and distributed across various levels are the entrance hall, two kitchens (one with a service terrace), five elegant and bright bedrooms, and five bathrooms. The interior-facing section of the residence opens onto two opposite wings, creating a captivating play of perspectives between windows.

The property preserves prestigious original features: Gothic windows, decorated wooden beam ceilings, historic Venetian terrazzo floors, and soaring ceiling heights that grant the spaces amplitude and grandeur. The property is in excellent condition, requiring only minor restoration and refurbishment regarding the bathrooms and a few windows.

A place intrinsically full of charm and prestige that over time has united historic patrician families and major entrepreneurial dynasties.

The property is subject to direct historical/architectural protection by the Superintendency of Venice (Soprintendenza di Venezia).
