Ca’ Del Monastero 7
Occupying the very top floor of the residence, Ca’ Del Monastero 7 is a spectacular Venetian loft crowned by a private altana rooftop terrace overlooking the rooftops and bell towers of Venice.
Reached by lift to the second floor and then one final flight of stairs, this exceptional apartment welcomes guests into an impressive open-plan living space where soaring ceilings and magnificent exposed timber beams create an unforgettable sense of volume and character.
Bathed in natural light from roof windows and dormers, the apartment combines contemporary elegance with the charm of traditional Venetian architecture. The spacious living area offers comfortable seating, a television area and generous room to relax after a day exploring the city.
Adjacent to the living space is a fully equipped modern kitchen featuring everything needed for preparing meals at home, together with a dining area perfect for leisurely breakfasts or intimate dinners.
The sleeping area has been thoughtfully designed to preserve the openness of the loft while ensuring comfort and privacy.
The elegant master bedroom is partially separated from the main living space and features a comfortable double bed, refined furnishings and warm contemporary finishes that complement the historic structure.
The modern bathroom is generously sized and includes both a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower.
The true highlight of the apartment lies just beyond the bedroom: a staircase leads to the private altana, one of Venice’s most iconic architectural features. From this exclusive rooftop terrace guests can enjoy panoramic views across the surrounding rooftops, taking in the dome and bell tower of San Geremia, the distinctive turret of the Fondaco dei Turchi – home to Venice’s Natural History Museum – and the nearby bell tower of San Zan Degolà. It is the perfect setting for a morning coffee, an evening aperitivo or simply admiring Venice from above.
A truly unique retreat where contemporary comfort meets timeless Venetian charm.
Good to know
Please note that, due to the historic attic architecture and sloping ceilings, certain areas of the apartment have reduced headroom. We kindly recommend consulting the photo gallery carefully before booking.
The bedroom area is partially separated from the living space and may not provide complete visual privacy.
Our Comment
A truly distinctive Venetian loft offering generous living spaces, exceptional character and the rare luxury of a private rooftop altana.
Ideally located within easy walking distance of Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma, and even closer to the vaporetto stops of Riva di Biasio and San Stae, providing convenient connections throughout the city.
The surrounding neighbourhood is one of Venice’s most authentic and atmospheric areas, far from the busiest tourist routes yet within easy reach of the city’s most celebrated landmarks.
Just moments away lies Campo San Giacomo dell’Orio, one of Venice’s most beloved squares, shaded by trees and frequented mainly by locals. Here guests will find cafés, restaurants, small shops and a well-stocked supermarket.
Excellent dining options abound nearby, including All’Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta, while cultural attractions such as Ca’ Pesaro, Palazzo Mocenigo and the Fondazione Prada at Ca’ Corner della Regina are all within a short stroll.
The Basilica dei Frari, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Campo San Polo and the vibrant Rialto district are also easily reached on foot, allowing guests to experience the very best of Venice directly from their doorstep.
