Historic Venetian Palazzo on the Grand Canal.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 1,800 sqm (19,375 sq ft) 16th century Venetian palazzo for hire on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro, Venice, with a frescoed noble floor, original period furnishings and a walled Italian garden facing the water. The palazzo is vetted by Fashion Week Venues and holds up to 1,870 guests across the piano nobile and garden.
- Best For
- Strongest fit for canal-side cocktail receptions and seated dinners during Biennale and Venice Film Festival weeks, followed by collection previews and buyer appointments in the frescoed noble floor rooms. Also available for art exhibitions and gallery showings, brand shoot locations and content capture, and closed-door corporate offsites or private client events.
- Standout Features
- Private boat arrival directly from the Grand Canal water gate, allowing guests to step from taxi to entrance hall without a public walkway. Also includes a private Italian garden created in the 19th century, an intact frescoed piano nobile with period furniture and art collection, two self-contained guest apartments on site for talent or executives, a full kitchen sized for external catering brigades, plus lift access, air conditioning, heating, security system, in-house sound and video equipment, garment rails, fitting rooms and a stock room for sample handling.
- Location
- Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop is roughly 4 minutes on foot, San Tomà is around 6 minutes, and private water taxi drops at the palazzo door in seconds. The Dorsoduro setting is quiet residential canal frontage with 30 restaurants, 12 cafes and the Accademia gallery district within 300 m, so crews load in calmly and guests arrive through one of the most photographed stretches of the Grand Canal.
- Availability
- Day rate is €12,000 with a one day minimum and rental terms up to 90 days, and the palazzo is available now for autumn and spring dates. Book eight to twelve weeks ahead for standard dates and four to six months ahead for Biennale openings, the September film festival and Carnival, as heritage addresses on this stretch of canal typically release only a handful of dates per season.
- How to Book
- Send your dates, guest count and activation format to enquire and we reply within 24h with a hold and a costed proposal, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork with the Venice authorities, boat logistics, event staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team, so request availability to place a provisional hold on your date.
about this space
This historic palace, commissioned by a renowned Venetian family, was designed by a famous architect in the mid-16th century. Nestled along one of the most picturesque stretches of the Grand Canal, the building showcases exquisite period furnishings and an extensive collection of items that reflect the eclectic tastes of its former owners. Originally, the main facade of the building, adorned with frescoes, faced a garden that has since made way for another notable Venetian landmark. Approximately two centuries ago, the family reorganized the property to create a new Italian garden by demolishing several houses across the Grand Canal. This transformation has preserved the palace's harmonious structure to this day. Currently, the noble floor and garden serve as a refined venue for cultural gatherings, providing an ideal setting for captivating receptions and cocktail events. The palace allows guests to immerse themselves in the splendor and grandeur of a bygone era. Accessible by private boat, the property also includes two exclusive guest apartments, ensuring a luxurious and private experience in the heart of Venice.
