A terrific penthouse, perfect for 6, up 'in the gods' of the impressive 15th-century Gothic 'Palazzo Loredan Dell’ Ambasciatore' on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro…

… Enjoying breathtaking views from its 2 amazing terraces and superbly located between the Accademia Galleries/Bridge and the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th-century Venice, opposite the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art, and close to Campo San Barnaba.

Sitting on the 4th floor at the very top of one of the finest palazzi in Venice (indeed the birthplace of 2 Doges of Venice, Leonardo Loredan (1501-21) and Francesco Loredan (1752-62)) and benefitting from plenty of light and airiness as a result, Ca' Cerchieri Terrace offers private water access for stylish and fuss-free arrivals by private water taxi and is reached by lift to the 3rd floor, leaving one flight of stairs to ascend on foot.

In addition to a heavy sprinkling of fine period furnishings and quietly sophisticated touches, the apartment maintains an attractively casual, laid-back and unpretentious quality – ideal for settling in and feeling 'at one' with your fabulously Venetian and very aristocratic surroundings from the moment you arrive – while rich wooden flooring and independent air-conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi and a small laundry room with washing machine ensure that all the comforts and conveniences of modern living are at your fingertips for the duration of your stay.

Ideal for guests who’d like to sample the pleasures of refined palazzo living, accommodation comprises:

• An elegant sitting room with comfortable seating and wide French windows opening onto a superb terrace (with seating space for 6) offering wonderful panoramic vistas over seemingly endless rooftops and bell-towers

• A separate dining area seating 8

• A fully-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with dapple-grey granite work surfaces, Grand Canal views and all the appliances one could possibly wish for, including a large fridge with icemaker, microwave and numerous coffee-makers to name just a few

• There are 3 stylish bedrooms –

o A beautiful master with a double bed and French windows opening onto a private terrace with mesmerising Grand Canal views to swoon over (impossibly romantic!) and its own en suite bathroom with bathtub

o A 2nd double bedroom with double bed enjoying views towards the Accademia Bridge and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (again with an en suite bathroom with bathtub)

o A 3rd bedroom with twin beds (which can be made into a double bed – please ask when booking) and an en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower

• A 4th hallway bathroom (with w.c. and shower) completes the apartment

Are you part of a larger group who'd like to stay close together but in separate apartments within this prestigious palazzo? Dimora Italia offers 2 further properties within Palazzo Loredan Dell’ Ambasciatore: the spectacular Ca' Cerchieri Piano Nobile (also known as Palazzo Loredan della Loggia) and Ca’ Cerchieri Loredan (also known as Palazzo Loredan degli Scudi).
