Apartment

NEW LISTING!



Hit those holiday high notes at new apartment Operetta,

So cute and well located you’re never ever gonna forget her!



Nestled within the same peaceful Dorsoduro property as the larger members of our hugely popular ‘Opera’ family of apartments (see the chic Ca’ Dell’Opera Terrace and gorgeous L’Opera Divina) and bookable separately or in conjunction with either (or even both!*), this deliciously cosy new addition will be music to the ears of seasoned visitors familiar with the most desirable parts of Venice.



Freshly attired in 2025/6 and boasting creature comforts aplenty, the dainty and delightful Operetta plays second fiddle to none!



Charmingly positioned in sleepy Campo degli Incurabili, near the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Accademia Galleries** (and our Grand Canal office!) and the Zattere’s spectacular canal views towards Giudecca, the apartment sleeps 4 guests in 2 bright and cheerful double bedrooms on the 1st floor of the building accessed by stairs.



Singing in perfect harmony with the design score of its ‘big sister’ apartments – imagine bespoke furnishings, impactful colours, tailored textiles and soft lighting – the elegantly understated Operetta offers Wi-Fi plus air-conditioning and an easy-going Venetian vibe throughout its 80sqm accommodation.



The perfect pied-à-terre for you and your partner, cherished chums or small family, and refreshingly free of the mass-produced faux-Venetian flourishes sometimes spotted about town, the apartment instead favours a rather simpler, refined aesthetic in ‘lateral-living’ accommodation comprising:



Ground Floor



The building’s main entrance tucked away along the Ramo Dietro Agli Incurabili – note on your way, the wonderful stone-carved pair of statuettes of Christ (dated 1681) on the corners of the ‘Opera’ building at the head of the passageway – followed by 2 short flights of stairs (no lift) rising to Operetta’s entrance on the...



1st Floor



Where we open the door to discover...



A characterful and warmly welcoming sitting / TV room in cool ‘salvia’ sage green, the colour contrasting beautifully with the wooden timbers overhead, traditional terrazzo flooring underfoot, and a deep crimson-velvet ivory-piped sofa set before a mixed media on canvas artwork by Elia Valentini (student at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia) entitled ‘Grande Blu 1, 2025’ and purchased at the recent charity auction for Avapo Venezia



A spacious free-flowing open-plan dining room / kitchen space in deep pinky-red terracotta overlooking the west-facing Campo Incurabili to the fore, with beams overhead, fabulous wooden herringbone parquet flooring underfoot, a well-equipped contemporary kitchen in white (with washing machine / dryer) where you can crack open the Prosecco or rustle up a storm (if cooking with the super-fresh local ingredients is your bag!), plus a dining suite hosting 6 guests to the side and just the spot for some convivial downtime where you can all share stories of your Venetian adventures!



A restful principal double bedroom to the rear of the apartment dressed in sunny yellow and peacock blues and greens, and furnished with a beautifully upholstered double bed with can be split into twins upon request



An equally tranquil 2nd double bedroom to the side of the apartment, also in sunny yellow and with claret-velvet upholstered twin beds which can be made into a double upon request



And completing the accommodation on the opposite side of the apartment....



A simple modern bathroom in white with tiled shower



*Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay together but in separate apartments? We offer 2 other apartments in the ‘Opera’ building: Ca’ Dell’Opera Terrace (sleeping 8) and L’Opera Divina (sleeping 10) with the 3 apartments combined hosting a maximum of 22 guests when reserved for exclusive use!



**Note that the Accademia Galleries close to apartment Operetta will be hosting Marina Abramović’s historic solo exhibition ‘Transforming Energy’ (6 May 2026 – 19 October 2026) during the Venice 2026 Art Biennale. She will be the first living woman artist to be honoured with a major solo exhibition at the Accademia in its 275-year history





OUR COMMENT



A charming apartment championing pared-down Venetian appeal in one of our absolute favourite parts of town!



A short stroll to Campo San Vio on the Grand Canal and the Palazzo Cini Gallery to the west, the Church of the Salute and the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art to the east, and close to a great choice of eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri, Lineadombra and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and the popular 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 easy 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 moments away 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.
