A very light and airy five-bedroom five-bathroom Grand Canal apartment with stunning terrace, recently restored to a high specification, creating a relaxed environment for a large family or group of friends.
 
Property Description     
Celestina is located on the top floor of an 18th century Grand Canal Palace, boasting one of the most spectacular terraces in Venice: a huge south-facing space offering its fortunate guests a bird's eye vista across the canal to the bell tower of St. Mark's and even beyond to the the snow-capped Dolomites.
 
The Palace’s entrance is imposing, embellished by stone sculptures and an ancient well. A-state-of-the-art lift takes you swiftly to the third floor (then nine wide steps up to the apartment).
 
Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the incredible light pouring in from the renaissance-style windows. A large sitting room with eclectic art and comfortable large sofas leads on to the terrace, where an amazing view awaits. This expansive outdoor space is furnished with sun loungers, tables and chairs, and is perfect for al fresco dining.
 
To the left of the main salon is a formal dining room with seating for eight people. An elegant credenza stands at the back of the room, displaying a set of porcelain dishes and crystal glasses, ready for celebratory dinners.
 
The fully accessorized kitchen features Miele appliances, a large fridge, and a professional wine fridge.
 
With air conditioning throughout, an elevator that opens directly into the unit, custom-made furniture by Porte Italia Interiors, bed and bath linen by Frette, bathrooms in Bisazza tiles, marble-top vanity units and large walk-in rain showers, Celestina really is an A-list property in Venice.
