Gaze across the canals and rooftops from the Cassia apartment terrace. This lovely apartment merges classic Venetian architecture with modern comfort and bright, colorful highlights.
The Cassia apartment is on the 5th floor (6th floor North American) of a classic Venetian palace built in 1830. It has three levels. On the main level is a large living room with adjoining dining room. Above that is a sleeping loft and then up a short flight of steps to a gorgeous, private rooftop terrace.
As you enter the comfortably sized living room, your eyes are drawn to a beautiful print that decorates one wall that shows the eastern lands of the Mediterranean where Venice dominated trade. Furnishings are sophisticated and "quiet" with pretty color highlights.
The dining room leads to a modern open kitchen with marble counter tops, gas stovetop, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee maker.
You will be welcomed with a bottle Bellini, the classic Venetian beverage made famous by nearby Harry's Bar. Fresh croissants will be delivered to your door each day. The kitchen is prepared for you with bottled water, fresh fruit, coffee capsules, fresh milk, sweeteners, butter, jam, sliced bread as well as salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar.
The floors are a warm-colored terrazzo, a traditional finish developed originally in Venice centuries ago.
