Experience moments of pure gold at golden property ‘La Tana’ – a cosy sanctuary awash with character in the San Marco sestiere
Anchored up close to the gothic Palazzo Zaguri opposite the Museum of Music in sunny Campo San Maurizio, between the cafés of Santo Stefano and the luxury boutiques nuzzling St. Mark’s Square, the lagoon-and-boating themed La Tana sleeps 6 in supreme comfort on the 1st floor of the property reached by internal stairs
Within a waltz of the world-famous La Fenice Opera House and the Gritti Palace’s Riva Lounge for glamorous Grand Canal-side drinks, the apartment embraces 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (one en suite and 2 separate) between a rich canopy of ancient timbers and gorgeous solid wooden floors
Dressed thoughtfully throughout in a glowing palette of sunset yellows with original artwork and book collections giving a distinctly cultured vibe, the air-conditioned accommodation offers Wi-Fi connection and comprises:
- A charming sitting room overlooking the campo and the tipsily tilting bell tower of Santo Stefano to the fore - tastefully furnished with a comfy sofa set beneath a painting of the salt-marsh barene of the fragile Venetian lagoon while a quaint raft of wooden decoy ducks take rest from flight around the room! ;
- A stylish dining room to the side (also with views of the campo to the fore) and a dining suite seating 6 with ease beside a dramatic pictorial vista of Venezia’s campanili at close of day
- A traditional vintage-style (and very cute!) Venetian galley kitchen - partially-tiled and fully equipped for self-catering – with inbuilt appliances, a homely array of wall-mounted copper pans and a collection of model sailing vessels befitting La Tana’s boating theme
- A characterful double bedroom with windows overlooking the square and the gothic archway of Palazzo Zaguri just to the side, featuring an antique French size (small double) bed, elegant period furniture, soft bedside lighting plus a separate (not en suite) bathroom with shower serving the bedroom and the apartment overall
- Two further tasteful double bedrooms attired in matching mellow yellow – both warm and welcoming and sharing a separate walk-in wardrobe:
· A strikingly attractive and generously proportioned master bedroom/suite to the rear overlooking a private courtyard, with a double bed and an en suite tiled bathroom with bathtub and separate shower, plus…
· A third bedroom to the opposite side – cosier and rather more modest in stature – with a French size (small double) bed and its own separate (not en suite) tiled bathroom with walk-up bathtub
- A handy utility room with washing machine which completes the accommodation

Beside the ‘Mercatino San Maurizio’ Antiques Market held on certain dates throughout the year and a short stroll to the Accademia Galleries just across the Accademia Bridge, to 3 vaporetto (water-bus) stops – Accademia, Giglio and Sant’ Angelo – for easy travel about town, and to the traditional Traghetto at Santa Maria Del Giglio ferrying passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the laid-back and very beautiful Dorsoduro sestiere
