Apartment

The scaleter apartment is a remarkable property expertly created within a 15th century canal-side palace near the Church of Santa Fosca in the heart of Cannaregio. Palazzo Vendramin Costa provides a calm, unruffled and historically fascinating backdrop for an unforgettable stay.



A generously proportioned apartment on the first floor reached by stairs from the Palazzo’s communal ‘androne’ hallway, boasting a fine combination of wooden beamed and 18th century Venetian stucco ceilings, cool terrazzo flooring underfoot and charming views over the Rio di Santa Fosca canal to the fore.

Integrating chic Italian design with meticulously restored architectural details such as Venetian terrazzo flooring and colourful frescoes



Scaleter is the term used to indicate pastry chefs in Venice. The name derives from some desserts that were produced on the occasion of special parties or weddings.
