Performing a duet with neighbouring Ca’ Dell’ Opera Terrace, come join us as we sing the praises of new Opera Divina a diva-licious deluxe property in laid-back Dorsoduro, freshly restored in collaboration with design partners, Archflorence

We’ve pulled out all the stops in transforming this long-forgotten property into a perfectly composed tribute to Italian craftsmanship and flair… a symphony of opulent finishes and fabrics and bespoke furniture tailored with precision and care.

Charmingly located in sleepy Campo degli Incurabili, near the Peggy Guggenheim, the Accademia Galleries, and the Zattere’s spectacular canal views, L'Opera Divina sleeps 8(+2) guests in 4(+1) bedrooms arranged over 3 floors and accessed by stairs*.

Taking design cues from its incredibly popular sister apartment and hosting up to 19 guests when taken together, the apartment showcases custom bathrooms and cool terrazzo flooring and is air-conditioned** throughout for your comfort in warm weather.

Themed in such a way as to ‘bring the outside in’ through botanical prints, well positioned lighting, and a range of colours that sing, the extensive accommodation offers Wi-Fi and comprises:

• Your own private doorway on the campo leading into the:


Ground Floor

• An entrance hallway with mirrored closets, one cleverly concealing a Miele combined washing machine/dryer which comes in useful during extended stays

Doorway into:

• A peaceful double bedroom to the rear of the property with a mirrored wardrobe, a double bed dressed in shades of pepperoncini and mushroom (which can be split into twins upon request), and a stylish en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over

Staircase* from the hallway leading up to the:


1st Floor

• A fabulous beamed main sitting room in a harmonious mix of neutrals, limes and sunset orange with French windows opening onto a small Juliet balcony, a large L-shaped sofa for relaxing, custom-designed carpeting and walls of palazzo-style window-panelled mirrors framed and enhanced by the most extraordinary golden shell-shaped silk lamps which serve to maximise the light and sense of space within the room

• A super-attractive small sitting room/TV room with botanical prints, a double sofa-bed for 2, shelving and mirrored wardrobe and French windows opening onto a small Juliet balcony

• A contemporary kitchen/dining room in salicornia green comprehensively kitted out with integrated Bosch and Miele appliances (including a wine fridge!), a dining suite seating 8 with banquette seating and ‘ghost’ chairs and French windows opening onto a bijou Juliet balcony looking onto the quiet comings and goings along the Rio Terà San Vio

• A luxurious and restful principal bedroom overlooking a neighbouring private palm-filled garden to the rear and handsomely attired in gentle greens and olive grey with a writing desk, a mirrored wardrobe and a double bed (dressed in Casamance’s ‘Paradisiaca’ fabric and which can be split into twins upon request) plus a splendidly tiled en suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower

• A pristine bathroom with large shower to the left of the 1st floor landing that serves the main sitting room, small sitting room/TV room and kitchen

Staircase* (shorter than the first) rising up to the 2nd floor and offering a glimpse St. Mark’s Bell Tower and the Salute from the top


2nd Floor

• The cutest ‘small double’ bedroom with wooden beams, a pair of slim wardrobes and a French-size bed sleeping 2 upholstered in Anna French’s ‘Palampore’ fabric – cosy in ambience, decorated with a pair of ‘oeil de sorcière’ convex mirrors and with a separate private bathroom with large shower just a few steps away

• The final and totally gorgeous double bedroom in shades of violetta di Chioggia (local artichoke) and mushroom with a double bed (which can be split into twins upon request), a wardrobe and a sparkling en suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower


* Please note that the staircases are quite steep and, due to the age of the building, some of the carpeted stone treads are uneven. There is no lift


OUR COMMENT

A superb transformation in delightful surroundings and fully deserving of a standing ovation!

A short stroll to the Church of the Salute, the Palazzo Cini Gallery and to the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art at Dorsoduro’s eastern tip, and close to a great choice of eating places and bars including Agli Alboretti, Lineadombra and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and Osteria Al Squero, Corner Pub and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for spritz and cicheti.

An easy walk to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia for travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!), to 2 Conad supermarkets – one just behind the Zattere Spirito Santo vaporetto stop and the other at the western end of the Zattere – and to the traghetto at Calle Lanza / Calle del Traghetto San Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the traghetto stop beside the Gritti Palace in the district of San Marco.

Also within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
