Venezia Design
VENICE, ITALY

This apartment in Venice is where two distinct worlds harmoniously coexist. Outside, the historic grandeur and romance of the city is eternal, but inside, this is a serene inner sanctum of modern Venetian design.
Located in the San Marco borough near the Grand Canal, the apartment is based on a hospitality concept designed by a local family who for over 50 years have run two exclusive hotels in the city. Inviting visitors to become an integral part of city life, the idea is to share not only its dazzling history but to introduce the modern Venice that they know and love.
A collaborative effort with creative director Diego Paccagnella, the historic townhouse was completely reimagined while still maintaining an authentic connection to its past. The characteristic colors of the lagoon are used throughout the house, creating an indelible connection, and every item was designed and handcrafted by local artists and design companies.
Location
Airport
Marco Polo International Airport is on the mainland at Tessera, just north of Venice where you'll catch the ATVO bus to Piazzale Roma and from there to the Vaporetto (water bus) to San Marco. Travel times vary but about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Comprised of over 100 islands floating among the lagoons, Venice, one of Italy's most glorious destinations, is a dreamlike maze of canals and epic grandeur that audaciously reinvented what a great Italian city could be. If Rome is the eternal city, then Venice is its mysterious and ethereal counterpart. Awe-inspiring in its opulent beauty and artistry, the city moves at a languid pace where you could spend endless days in its network of canals, narrow backstreets and secret passageways, marveling at its cache of historic treasures.
