Oct 12 - 14
$1,555 night

NEW LISTING! A San Marco townhouse of the most distinguished kind, Curated by ArchFlorence and elegance defined! Peacefully embraced within the bosom of the refined San Samuele district – once home of libertine Casanova, ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ poet Lord Byron and Venetian painter Veronese, and today to a super-chic clique of residents, socialites and sophisticates who just might prefer to remain anonymous! – this serendipitous new discovery embodies timeless Venetian luxury and hosts 12 guests within 6 exceptionally charming en suite bedrooms. Comfortingly intimate yet expansive, indulgently sumptuous yet cosy, La Dimora di Lady J really is the stuff of dreams! Named in honour of the aristocratic and enigmatic ‘Lady J’ who, once upon a time long ago, came to Venice, fell in love and left a piece of her heart here forever, and who can sometimes still be spotted, if only by those with a keen eye, silently retracing her steps along the tranquil backwaters she knows so well, this newly restored 3-floor townhouse gazes out from a façade that only whispers ‘sotto voce’ of the sheer opulence within. Fruit of the limitless artistic talents of our design partners at ArchFlorence, expertly honed into superb shape over a 3-year period, and replete with high-end touches, rich colours and fine textiles, our carefully chosen team of artisans and stylists have totally exceeded our brief in bringing you a property that delivers (and some!) pure Venice holiday pleasure. Overlooking the genteel Salizada San Samuele with its collection of chic little galleries – a silver seam of near silence and solitude running parallel with the busier beaten path, and a much lesser-known route helping link the Accademia Bridge with the Rialto – and within moments of the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art, the sunny outdoor cafes of Campo Santo Stefano (people-watching heaven!) not forgetting the take-your-breath-away wonderful attractions of St. Mark’s Square just a short stroll further on, La Dimora di Lady J offers Wi-Fi and air-conditioning throughout its hugely covetable accommodation comprising: Your very own private front door leading into the entrance hallway (more of which later!) with stairs* rising to the 2nd floor (the top of the house) where we find the majority of the living and sleeping accommodation spread across one level: 2nd Floor, where we enter...

Abundant light streams into the room from the pair of floor-to-ceiling glazed French doors opening onto a wrought-iron Juliet balcony overlooking the salizada below and which combined serve as an enormous picture frame for the pretty serliana windows adorning the palazzetto opposite Overlooking the peaceful rear of the dimora and dressed in similarly delightful fashion, a warm and welcoming semi-separate dining space where, lit by a rather splendid rectangular pleated-silk ceiling lamp, a photographic portrait of a distinguished gentleman in period attire with ruff (who some of you might recognise!) holds court at the head of the large oval glass-topped dining table Just to the side of the open dining area sits...

Get to Know Venice

Venice, Italy, is a city that enchants its visitors with its distinctive blend of history, artistry, and romance. The city is uniquely constructed on over 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. Instead of roads and cars, Venice is characterized by its waterways and gondolas, offering a truly unique urban experience. St. Mark's Square stands as one of the city's most iconic landmarks. It is home to St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace. The basilica boasts stunning Byzantine mosaics while the palace showcases Gothic architecture and grand rooms adorned with art - both are symbols of Venice's rich historical heritage. The Grand Canal is another must-visit attraction in Venice. A gondola ride along this major waterway provides breathtaking views of beautiful palaces and historic buildings lining its banks. For those passionate about art, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers an impressive collection of modern art from renowned artists like Picasso and Pollock. Venice takes pride in its glassmaking industry located on the island of Murano where visitors can witness artisans crafting intricate glass pieces using age-old techniques. The city also hosts several globally recognized events such as the Venice Biennale art exhibition and the Venice Film Festival which draw artists and celebrities worldwide. For gastronomes, Venetian cuisine offers fresh seafood from the lagoon and traditional dishes like risotto nero (black risotto) made with cuttlefish ink. In summary, Venice presents an irresistible mix of history, culture, artistic talent, gastronomy, and romance that makes it an ideal destination for any traveler.
Venice, Italy is characterized by a humid continental climate, with hot summers and cool winters. The city's weather is influenced by its location in the Mediterranean, resulting in mild and relatively stable weather conditions throughout the year. During the summer months, from June to August, temperatures often reach into the upper 80s Fahrenheit. These months also see high levels of humidity, which can intensify the heat. Rainfall is less frequent during this period but when it does rain, it often comes in short, heavy showers. The winter months, from December to February, are cooler with average high temperatures in the 40s and lows often dipping into the 30s.

The city itself resembles an open-air museum with its maze-like streets and canals lined with historic buildings. Walking around Venice allows visitors to appreciate its unique charm at their own pace. However, for longer distances or for a unique experience, taking a vaporetto (water bus) or gondola ride along the canals is recommended.

Venice, Italy, is a city filled with charm and history that can be appreciated by visitors of all ages. While the city's iconic gondola rides offer a unique way to explore Venice's canals, they may not be suitable for very young children due to the lack of seatbelts or restraints and potential instability of the boats. While there may not be a dedicated Natural History Museum in Venice, the city does host several civic museums that offer educational experiences. However, it would be best to research these museums beforehand to ensure they align with your children's interests. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is indeed an art museum primarily focused on modern art. While they do offer some family programs, keep in mind that modern art may not captivate all children's attention for extended periods. Venice does have parks, but they are typically smaller neighborhood parks rather than large open spaces. It would be beneficial to research these parks ahead of time to find one that suits your family's needs. Libreria Acqua Alta is one of the most unique bookstores in the world and could intrigue older children and adults with its books stacked in gondolas and bathtubs. However, it might not cater specifically to young kids' interests. Finally, while Venice offers a variety of delicious cuisine options such as gelato from local gelaterias or pizza at local pizzerias, Italian food might not appeal to all children, especially those who are picky eaters. In conclusion, while Venice has some activities that can be enjoyed by children, it might not necessarily be the most child-centric destination. The city is rich in history and culture which promises an unforgettable vacation experience for families willing to explore its enchanting waterways and landmarks.
Venice, Italy is not just a city of historic canals and stunning architecture. It also offers a variety of outdoor activities and natural wonders for those who love to connect with nature. The city is an archipelago of 117 small islands connected by over 400 bridges. Walking around these islands allows you to appreciate the city's unique charm and beauty. The narrow streets, hidden squares, and quiet canals offer a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist areas. For a unique outdoor experience in Venice, consider taking a boat trip to the nearby islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Murano is famous for its glass-making tradition; Burano is known for its brightly colored houses and lace-making; while Torcello is home to Venice's oldest cathedral. The Venetian Lagoon itself is a natural wonder that's worth exploring. This shallow body of water is home to numerous species of birds and marine life. You can take a guided boat tour or rent a kayak to explore the lagoon at your own pace. For bird watchers, there's Lido di Venezia which offers several kilometers of beaches where you can spot various species of migratory birds. It's also an ideal place for cycling or simply enjoying a leisurely walk along the beach. However, it should be noted that Lido di Venezia is technically separate from the main islands of Venice proper. Lastly, make sure to visit Parco delle Rimembranze located on Sant'Elena island. Although it may not provide panoramic views over parts of Venice due to its relatively small size, this park offers green spaces perfect for picnicking or relaxing under the shade of trees. In conclusion, Venice provides more than just gondola rides along its famous canals. Its natural wonders and outdoor activities provide plenty of opportunities for nature lovers to connect with the environment in this unique city.
