San Vio Palace
Situated in one of Venice's most picturesque areas, San Vio Palace Luxury Apartments represents the ideal blend of traditional Venetian charm and modern sophistication.
Formally launched and extensively restored in 2023, the ancient palazzo offers a fashionable haven where tradition meets comfort. Featuring breathtaking views of the San Vio Canal and a location that easily connects to Venice's cultural hotspots, San Vio Palace reinterprets the concept of refined living in Dorsoduro.
Location and Setting
At Dorsoduro, 739, San Vio Palace is poised gracefully between the Grand Canal and the dynamic artistic center of Venice.
The location of the property along the San Vio Canal offers a private yet central retreat within walking distance of iconic sites such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Gallerie dell'Accademia, and Piazza San Marco.
Dorsoduro is the most Venetian of neighborhoods — where elegant palazzi, artisans' studios, and waterside cafes concentrate the artistic essence of the city. The palace is easily reached for visitors by vaporetto or private water taxi, uniting convenience with exclusivity. The surrounding area evokes a timeless sense of Venice — picturesque bridges, secluded courtyards, and the gentle lapping of the lagoon.
Architectural Heritage and Design
The San Vio Palace is a masterpiece of restoration, retaining the essence of its ancient structure while imbuing it with refined modernity. The centuries of Venetian history talk through the facade of the building, and inside, attractive interiors and contemporary touches lend an understated luxury ambiance.
Antique architectural details — the high ceilings and exposed beams, the decorative windows — are wedded to streamlined furniture, neutral colors, and clever lighting. Each apartment has been designed to capture the essence of Venetian elegance, offering guests comfort as well as visual beauty.
The palace also boasts a private garden, a Venetian rarity, where guests can relax amidst the foliage and tranquility. It is a serene oasis that contributes to the charm of the house, offering a soothing contrast to the bustle of the surrounding canals.
Apartments and Accommodation
San Vio Palace Luxury Apartments is comprised of a selection of spacious, elegantly appointed apartments overlooking the canal or private courtyard. Every apartment combines the grace of Venetian tradition with the functionality of contemporary design.
Apartments feature complete kitchens, heating and air conditioning, satellite television, free Wi-Fi, and modern bathrooms with quality fixtures. The living areas are furnished with tasteful décor, plush furnishings, and soft lighting that accentuate the natural beauty of wood and stone.
The expansive windows invite in natural light and provide hypnotic views of the canal — a setting that makes every moment, from morning coffee to sunset reflection, a beautiful one. While the building retains its original integrity, guests should note that due to preservation requirements, the palace does not have an elevator. This feature, however, only adds to the allure and authenticity of its antiquity.
Services and Amenities
San Vio Palace management ensures that each stay is comfortable and hassle-free. A few of the services provided include luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and concierge services for organizing excursions, private tours, and restaurant bookings.
Each apartment is adapted to both short and long stays, making the property ideal for couples, families, or professionals seeking a refined Venice base. The space, privacy, and luxury combined offer guests the possibility to live like Venetians — at their own rhythm and surrounded by history.
The property's pièce de résistance remains its private garden, which is exclusive to guests. Enclosed by old walls and lush greenery, it is a private oasis — a luxury in a city where outdoor space is a luxury in itself.
