Palazzo Santa Croce

Four private residences beside the bell tower of San Giacomo dall’Orio

Our way

Not a room. An address.

Some houses are visited, others are lived in. Palazzo Santa Croce belongs to the second kind. Four residences behind the same door, on a campo where Venetians still arrange to meet. You let yourself in with your own code, set down your suitcase, open a window. The rest is the city.

Pale stone staircase with a dark metal handrail, exposed wooden beams and an arched mirror.

Hallway with patches of exposed brickwork, an arched mirror and wooden ceiling beams.

Landing with exposed wooden beams, two windows and a staircase with a metal railing.

The palazzo

One building, four ways to be in Venice

The palazzo looks onto Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio, beside the bell tower of the oldest church in the sestiere. It is a true Venetian building: thick walls, an inner courtyard, staircases that show their age.

Inside, everything has been remade with restraint. Clean surfaces, natural light, materials that age well. No decoration pretending at a past: the past is already in the walls.

The residences

Four characters

The same threshold, the same care. What changes is the floor, the outlook and the light of the hours.

White kitchen with sink and shelves, wooden table with white chairs, light-wood partition wall with open shelving; sofa and floor lamp beyond, beamed ceiling.

Residenza San Giacomo

Ground floor · on the campo

The residence closest to the life of the neighbourhood: you step out of the door and you are already at a table outside.

Living room with beige sofa, light wood dining table with white chairs, white wall shelving and exposed wooden ceiling beams

Residenza Acqua Segreta

Ground floor · a glimpse of the canal

The canal runs behind the house and shows itself through one window only, the bathroom’s: it is that glimpse the residence is named after.

Living area with sofa, wall-mounted television and wooden table; a band of exposed brick below the beamed ceiling and a white kitchen on the right.

Residenza Corte Antica

Second floor · above the courtyard

On the second floor, above the inner courtyard: two separate bedrooms and the deepest quiet of the four.

Sofa, wooden table and white kitchen in one open room beneath exposed beams

Residenza Bellavista

Second floor · private balcony

The only one with a private balcony: breakfast at the height of the roof tiles, with the bell tower marking the hours.

Paved square with a brick church, a tall bell tower and a stone wellhead at the centre.

The neighbourhood

Where Venice still lives

Santa Croce is the sestiere where the city remains itself: children playing in the campo, the shopping done at the market, a glass at the bacaro before dinner. Rialto is twelve minutes away, San Marco a little over twenty. But in the evening you come back here, where there is no queue to get home.

“Generous rooms, everything new and well made, with a contemporary feel. The square outside is alive in the right measure: families, children, cafés and bakeries a few steps away.”

“The best part of Venice, looking onto a square full of locals. We felt at home and wished we could have stayed longer.”

“It marries the character of a Venetian building with contemporary interiors. It let us discover Venice in the best possible conditions; we would return without hesitating.”

“Tucked into a quiet calle and minutes from everything. There is life outside in the evening; inside, once the door closes, you hear nothing.”

“A superb bathroom, a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, excellent linen and a fully equipped kitchen. Everything exactly where it should be.”

“Larger than we expected, in a part of the city well away from the tourist atmosphere.”
