Ca' Pantalon Terrace

An ivory tower of soft-spoken colours with canal views and a terrace just inside Santa Croce. Dressed in its finest and sitting patiently in wait for you beside a wide stone bridge at the meeting point of three canals between little Campiello Mosca, the 17th century Church of San Pantalon and buzzy Campo Santa Margherita in the district of Dorsoduro, Ca’ Pantalon is newly renovated and lies on the second (top) floor reached by stairs. Filled with light thanks to its many windows and elevated position and dotted throughout with monochrome wall prints of Venetian lagoonscapes and city scenes, the apartment sleeps four guests in air-conditioned comfort in a serene setting in which the natural beauty of lofty roof timbers and rich wooden flooring stands out against an easy-on-the-eye palette of creams, whites and classy neutrals. Freshly appointed and with Wi-Fi internet connection, accommodation comprises: • a main sitting/dining room with a large feature fireplace (not in use), two sofas, a dining suite for four and views over the ‘Rio Ca’ Foscari’ and the ‘Rio De San Pantalon’ canals - one quite busy, the other more sedate • a modern, compact yet well-equipped kitchen with breakfast seating for two • a wonderful and very large secluded furnished terrace to the rear - a splendid spot for soaking up the sun…how I wish I could be there right now!... and almost an extra sitting/dining room outdoors during the summer and fine weather • two restful bedrooms of similar style - one an elegant double with double bed and the other a spacious single with an extra single bed • two nicely-fitted bathrooms which complete the accommodation - one split-level with sunken bathtub and shower over, and the second with shower OUR COMMENT A classic new apartment to cocoon you in comfort… …superbly located right on the borders of not 1 but 3 Venetian districts or ‘sestieri’ - Santa Croce, San Polo and Dorsoduro - allowing easy access to all the restaurants, sights and activities that each has to offer!
