About this property
Ca' Cerchieri Terrace Canal View
A terrific penthouse, perfect for 6, up 'in the gods' of the impressive 15th-century Gothic 'Palazzo Loredan Dell’ Ambasciatore' on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro…
… Enjoying breathtaking views from its 2 amazing terraces and superbly located between the Accademia Galleries/Bridge and the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum of 18th-century Venice, opposite the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art, and close to Campo San Barnaba.
Sitting on the 4th floor at the very top of one of the finest palazzi in Venice (indeed the birthplace of 2 Doges of Venice, Leonardo Loredan (1501-21) and Francesco Loredan (1752-62)) and benefitting from plenty of light and airiness as a result, Ca' Cerchieri Terrace offers private water access for stylish and fuss-free arrivals by private water taxi and is reached by lift to the 3rd floor, leaving one flight of stairs to ascend on foot.
In addition to a heavy sprinkling of fine period furnishings and quietly sophisticated touches, the apartment maintains an attractively casual, laid-back and unpretentious quality – ideal for settling in and feeling 'at one' with your fabulously Venetian and very aristocratic surroundings from the moment you arrive – while rich wooden flooring and independent air-conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi and a small laundry room with washing machine ensure that all the comforts and conveniences of modern living are at your fingertips for the duration of your stay.
Ideal for guests who’d like to sample the pleasures of refined palazzo living, accommodation comprises:
An elegant sitting room with comfortable seating and wide French windows opening onto a superb terrace (with seating space for 6) offering wonderful panoramic vistas over seemingly endless rooftops and bell-towers
A separate dining area seating 8
A fully-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with dapple-grey granite work surfaces, Grand Canal views and all the appliances one could possibly wish for, including a large fridge with icemaker, microwave and numerous coffee-makers to name just a few
There are 3 stylish bedrooms –
A beautiful master with a double bed and French windows opening onto a private terrace with mesmerising Grand Canal views to swoon over (impossibly romantic!) and its own en suite bathroom with bathtub
A 2nd double bedroom with double bed enjoying views towards the Accademia Bridge and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (again with an en suite bathroom with bathtub)
A 3rd bedroom with twin beds (which can be made into a double bed – please ask when booking) and an en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower
A 4th hallway bathroom (with w.c. and shower) completes the apartment
Are you part of a larger group who'd like to stay close together but in separate apartments within this prestigious palazzo? Dimora Italia offers 2 further properties within Palazzo Loredan Dell’ Ambasciatore: the spectacular Ca' Cerchieri Piano Nobile (also known as Palazzo Loredan della Loggia) , Ca’ Cerchieri Loredan (also known as Palazzo Loredan degli Scudi) and Palazzo Loredan Grand Canal.

Fabulous
Magnificent apartment and views- home away from home
This property is amazing and beautiful. It was very clean and had great views over Venice. We enjoyed our stay so much! The owner was very communicative and helpful. She asked if we wanted her to arrange a private boat transfer from the train station and arranged it all for us and gave so many details on where to meet etc. we also ended up asking advice for how to get to the airport and she was able to help us arrange transport for that as well but also provided the public transport options. Very helpful and a great property to stay at. I thought the location was great as well.

Venice in May
‘The apartment is so well located, quiet, bright and sunny. We loved our stay. Thank you for the wonderful Venetian hospitality.’
Maybe the bathrooms could need updating soon (ideally a separate shower in main bed?) and living room furniture could be more modern and ‘loungey’. But it is still very wonderful! Thank you.
The penthouse apartment in Venice is a true gem. Nestled in a quaint neighborhood, it provides a serene retreat while being just steps away from some of the city’s finest restaurants, shopping, and sights. Great views, location, AC, & amenities.

Ca' Cerchieri Terrace is a wonderful experience. Excellent staff with Marta and Elena
Rachele helped to organise trips outside Venice.
Enjoyed Basanno, Asolo.
Guido is an excellent driver.
Need a new, faster toaster.
Need more high quality induction cooking pans.
Induction cookers are not easy to use!

Home away from home
The apartment was perfect for our whole family. My grandsons really enjoyed the spaciousness. It was a home away from home. We even celebrated the one year birthday of one grandson. I highly recommend this apartment and Views on Venice. They went out of their way to make this a wonderful week in such a magical city.

Glorious!
The apartment is stunning! The views, the space, the furnishings, the kitchen. All just perfect and very rare for a rental. The location, minutes from bars, restaurants, supermarket shops - and ice cream and yet so very peaceful inside. A glorious happy stay in the perfect spot.
Thank you so much to Views of Venice team!
Just please keep doing what you’ve been doing - this was our third stay over 25 years - and Views on Venice is just brilliant!
This apt is wonderful, clean, amazing views, comfortable, and spacious. The mgmt company is fantastic, accommodating, and helpful. One of the vaporetto stops is one minute away. Easy to get here on water taxi from airport or train station, easy to walk to everything, or take the water taxis. We all enjoyed our 5-day stay so much! FYI, there are about 15 stairs up from the elevator to the apt, in case mobility is an issue. Our kids had no issue with it, and many times raced up the stairs while we took the elevator. Highly recommend!
Great location, very easy check in process, clean and comfortable. Helped us set up activities. Would definitely stay again. Perfect for a family of 5. Amazing terrace
This property is stunning and the location was just perfect. We were able to enjoy a relaxing time in Venice during a very busy season. The view is spectacular! Perfect spot for a family gathering.

Loved everything
Beautiful apartment with incredible views and thoughtfully supplied with everything that could be needed.
It was a perfect stay on the Grand Canal. Rachele met us at the front door/dock and was very helpful. The views from the penthouse are amazing! The apartment was charming but had all the modern amenities and appliances. A great place to stay in Venice!!!

Beautiful views….
This apartment has stunning views over the Grand Canal from the master bedroom, with an additional terrace overlooking Dorsoduro from the sitting room. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are light and comfortable. The views are the key here though - got to be one of the best views from a kitchen window I have ever seen! Despite it being on the Grand Canal it is still quiet and peaceful.
Each bedroom has an ensuite, but only one of these has a shower - the rest are baths. There is another shower room, but it is quite a tight fit using the shower. Shame, as a shower in the en-suites would make it perfect. Not a massive issue though.

Best place to stay when in Venice
Unbelievable location. Marvelous staff. Perfect apartment.
Perhaps a more modern douche. But that is really a minor detail.

Fabulous views
This is such a beautiful apartment. The two terraces were used by us every morning and evening. It is close to the vaparetto and the dorsoduro is a very pleasant, quiet neighbourhood. The service from views on Venice was excellent and any minor questions or issues were addressed very quickly.
Stayed here in early August during the off-peak season with three family members. This place is stunning and made our trip so wonderful.
Few highlights:
- We were greeted at the closest vaparetto right on the Grand Canal. Following, we had a short 5-7 minute walk.
- It's located right on the water, with a view of the canal from the master bedroom and then views to the west to northwest from the living room. The master bedroom was a favorite hangout to watch the traffic in the grand canal.
- It was very, very comfortable with many rooms and three comfortable bedrooms. Very clean and very relaxing after long day of exploring Venice.
- The staff was simply incredible in explaining everything and making sure we had everything we needed. We even got to do an early check-in. Thank you Rachele for your help!
I'd book this place again in a heartbeat and would recommend it easily to family members and friends.

Another Great Stay in Ca'Cerchieri Terrace
The location of the apartment in Dorsoduro is excellent in terms of being on the Grand Canal, close to water bus stops (between Academia and Ce'Rezzonico), close to the Zattere and to wonderful restaurants and small local merchants around Campo San Barnaba. We also appreciate the historical nature of the building and the amazing way in which elevator, modern bathrooms, appliances and air conditioning are provided while maintaining the character of the building. Apartment is spacious with ensuite baths for each bedroom and an extra shower room lots of towels are provided as well as hairdryers. The apartment has incredible views (I think the kitchen must have the most beautiful view of any kitchen in Venice!) looking towards the bend in the Grand Canal on one side, and towards the Accademia Bridge and Salute church on the other. Both terraces are lovely with one furnished for dining (two tables and ample chairs for them) and the other smaller one perfect for sitting outside with morning coffee or evening spritz to enjoy the view. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to cook full meals, including an induction stovetop. The air conditioning is adjustable in each room and the apartment was always comfortably cool regardless of the very hot outdoor conditions. The washer and laundry tub are handy for midtrip washing. Just a wonderful apartment, very comfortable for a short or long holiday. And once again we appreciated the warm welcome provided by Rachele!
It would have been helpful to have a list of what the various wall switches in the apartment controlled (there are a lot of switches, for various lights, for the terrace awning etc) and at first we had a little trouble figuring out which switch controlled what. Some of the switches also had special features that we are not used to (like automatic dimming of lights when held, or multiple functions on the same switch). The lighting etc was very well designed and worked perfectly, it just took us a while to figure it all out!! It also would have been helpful to have instructions for the oven, just a listing of the controls and how to do normal functions like roasting or broiling is all that is needed.
