Venice’s famously golden light spills over terrazzo floors at this vintage-inspired, modern-feeling apartment perched above the Grand Canal. There’s something to intrigue at every turn, whether it’s the views of the Salute Church, the sculptural ’50s- and ’60s-style furniture, or the marble-splashed bathrooms. Board a water taxi on the landing next to the villa and set off along the canal. Watch gondolas streaming from the canal to the lagoon over a bottle of prosecco on the private terrace. For a fancier evening, ask about booking a catered dinner in the apartment. The light that inspired countless artists pours through the apartment’s tall windows and bounces off gleaming terrazzo floors, smooth marmorino plaster walls, and delicate moldings on the ceilings. The pared-down furnishings, designed by a who’s-who of mid-century Italian icons, feel like sculptures set in 2 living rooms and a dining room. A galley kitchen is fully equipped and even has a breakfast table. Be sure to block off some time in the marble bathrooms, where the stone elevates a bath or shower to a spa-worthy experience. With the Guggenheim Museum, Salute Church, and Grand Canal in view, it’s a short trip across the water to several of Venice’s top attractions. Take a water taxi or vaporetto to the Basilica di San Marco and Doge’s Palace, wander inside neighborhood churches that house art masterpieces, and stop for a coffee or gelato and people-watch.
