Exquisite and Historic Palazzo in Venice With Large Terrace and Modern Art

If you’ve dreamed of staying in a classic Venetian palace, Palazzo Lena Piano Nobile, a one-of-a-kind historical palazzo, is the perfect upscale getaway. This luxurious property sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms, each of which boasts a king size bed. Historic touches throughout the rooms make this an ideal vacation home for those looking to experience the real Venice. 

The artistic details of this palace are what render this vacation property especially stunning. Stuccoed walls and frescoes have undergone extensive restoration so that they seem new. Sparkling terrazzo floors and striking patterned wallpaper in eye-catching colors grace the rooms of this exquisite vacation rental. Abstract art by French painters Nicolas Pol and Araso adorns the rooms in the palazzo. 

Friedrich Nietzche called this very palazzo home, and the library calls the German writer to mind with convertible sofas, bookshelves, and an original marble mantlepiece.

Each of the palazzo’s bedrooms has its own unique décor, which allows for a special stay, no matter which room you choose. The master bedroom, the largest of the three, has an adjoining bathroom with a bathtub and hand shower. The opulent green bedroom features antique mirror wall panels with mirrors from Murano, France, and Italy. A custom-made bed by Porte Italia and a freestanding bathtub located in the bedroom itself make this the perfect place to relax after a day spent exploring the beauty of Venice. The alcove bedroom was Nietzsche’s bedroom and boasts original wood paneling. The rain shower includes incredible marble finishes, and a separate WC and sink afford guests the utmost privacy. 

A gorgeous antique chandelier, a beautiful piano, and state-of-the-art drapes by the Venetian textile designer Rubelli ornament the main room. Recline on an elegant Liaigre sofa while appreciating all the light streaming in through the ceiling-high windows. This spacious room opens onto the dining room, where you’ll find a solid oak antique dining table with space for eight guests and an original credenza in pristine condition. The open-plan dining room leads directly into the kitchen, which is equipped with Miele appliances, marble countertops, two refrigerators, and a wine fridge available upon request.  The large canal-facing terrace offers awe-inspiring views and a charming stone fountain. Comfortable outdoor furniture in this outdoor space create the perfect place for an afternoon glass of wine or aperitivo. 

Outside the palace, the private water gate makes boarding a water taxi easy, bringing the rest of Venice within easy reach of this luxury rental. Palazzo Lena Piano Nobile is set in the quiet residential neighborhood of Castello.
