Charming 14th-Century Gothic Palazzo, former residence of Doge Alvise Pisani
A property of rare beauty, characterized by its multi-level layout, generous dimensions, and distinguished historical significance.
On the ground floor, a grand entrance hall with soaring five-meter-high ceilings sets the tone for the rest of the building. This level also includes two commercial units, several functional storage rooms, a distinctive water gate, and a private courtyard — all elements that lend the property both historic elegance and exceptional versatility.
The mezzanine level houses a combination of office spaces and residential units, serving as a practical transition between the service areas and the noble floors above.
The two piani nobili (noble floors) form the heart of the palazzo, featuring exquisitely arranged living and reception rooms. The second noble floor opens onto an expansive, refined entrance hall, followed by a formal dining room and an elegant sitting room, bathed in natural light from a magnificent Gothic quadrifora window. This opens onto a small balcony with enchanting views of the canal and the bell tower of San Marco. From this level, one also accesses a traditional altana rooftop terrace, the perfect setting to enjoy the unique light, tranquility, and atmosphere of Venice.
The sleeping quarters comprise four air-conditioned double bedrooms, two additional rooms — one located on the mezzanine — two spacious bathrooms, and a third en suite bathroom connected to one of the bedrooms. The large, fully equipped kitchen seamlessly integrates into the living and reception areas. Throughout the interiors, high-quality finishes abound: Venetian terrazzo floors, original parquet, and high ceilings underscore the care and attention given to preserving the property’s historic character.
Completing the property is a generous attic floor of approximately 400 sqm, accessible internally via the kitchen and currently in need of renovation. This space offers versatile potential, well suited for a variety of residential or design solutions. Once the elevator — already approved and fully authorized — is installed, the attic will be directly served and fully integrated into the rest of the building. Of particular note is the panoramic view over the city, offering a privileged vantage point over Venice’s iconic skyline.
The location is ideal: central, yet discreet and well connected, just a short distance from the borders of the Castello and San Marco districts.
