Three living areas on the first floor and on the loft. Five dining areas. Electricity, air conditioning, house heating and Wi-Fi broadband access are included. Rarely does one have the opportunity to rent a whole palazzzo as one unit. The building is all yours!

Depicted by Canaletto and Guardi, Villa Allettante stands beside a 16th century church designed by Palladio and a 15th century bell tower by Codussi. With stunning views in every direction and private deck on the canal for your private water taxis.  Villa Allettante is a very special discovery. The church of San Pietro in Castello was for more than 500 years, up until 1807, the patriarchal church of Venice and seat of the religious authority in the adjacent Palazzo del Patriarca. It is located between the two major exhibition centers in Venice, Giardini della Biennale and Arsenale. This is the perfect destination for those who wish to discover the “real Venice” and escape the crowds of tourists. From this palazzo guests have the privileged opportunity to be taken to the secret hidden gems inside Venice as well as beyond to the islands and the nearby hinterland.  You can opt for two private water taxis, so guests one can move in comfort and style! At Villa Allettante you can eat or have drinks outside on the campo (means square in Venetian) in front of the church, on the private deck on the water, on the first floor terrace, on the loft or on the altana (wooden terrace above the roof) overlooking Venice. Inside, can only be described as “as an amazing!”  Successful and well known interior designer, Ilaria has created another gem.
