Description
We’re thrilled to present this captivating “Piano Nobile” (second-floor noble apartment) within the renowned Palazzo Pisani-Nicolaj, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece that once was the home of Doge Alvise Pisani of the Republic of Venice.
Nestled in the Cannaregio district, the property is just a stone’s throw from the Rialto Bridge. This area offers a welcome escape from the tourist crowds yet has all essential amenities close at hand.
The apartment is accessed via a private entrance, where Istrian stone steps lead to the bright and airy grand salon. With its soaring 6-meter-plus ceilings, this impressive space is divided into two areas. It features a central four-light window flanked by pairs of single-light windows and a small balcony, perfectly framing views of St. Mark’s Campanile. The property has over 15 rooms and offers ample space for studies, bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and service areas. Original and time-honored finishes, typical of these Venetian palazzi, include terrazzo alla Veneziana flooring, original “pastellone” flooring, wood parquet floors, stucco work, frescoes and marmorino plasterwork, Istrian stone doorframes, portals, columns and fireplaces, and burl wood doors, all complemented by period Murano glass chandeliers.
The property also includes an “altana” (rooftop terrace) with views over the Venetian rooftops and offers further development potential on the upper level. Here, an approximately 400-square-meter attic, while in need of restoration, presents a real opportunity to create additional space for the main apartment or a separate living unit with impressive exposed chestnut beams.
A Glimpse into Palazzo Pisani-Nicolaj’s History
Palazzo Pisani-Nicolaj, and its attic in particular, which is hidden from the adjacent canals and calli, served as a safe haven for many Jewish families during 1943-1945. Inside, you can still find two stoves, one majolica and one white-glazed terracotta, a wire mesh, and a small window leading to the “altana,” which is also difficult to spot from the streets and canal. The palace is a gem of late Gothic architecture (1460), concealing typical construction and artistic elements from past eras.
The Charm of Cannaregio
Cannaregio, Venice’s second-largest district after Castello, blends Venetian tradition and everyday life, away from the tourist throngs but just a short distance from the most iconic landmarks. Here, you’ll find the stunning Madonna dell’Orto Church, the Jewish Ghetto (the oldest in Europe), and the vibrant Strada Nova, lined with shops, restaurants, and traditional “osterie” (taverns).
This stunning district was also home to illustrious figures in Venetian history, such as Titian, Tintoretto, and Marco Polo.
Please note that the furnishings are not included in the property sale.
