The space
Welcome to Venice5th, a truly unique three-story penthouse nestled in the vibrant heart of Venice. Our home is more than just a place to stay; it's a family legacy. As the great-niece of Archimede Seguso, one of Murano's most revered master glassmakers, I’m thrilled to share a piece of my family’s history and the genuine Venetian lifestyle with you.

Enter our refined and elegantly Venetian home, where classic charm meets modern comfort. The journey begins on the first floor with a tranquil twin bedroom and its own en-suite bathroom. Ascend the stairs to the second floor, a spacious living area that serves as the heart of the home, flanked by two sophisticated queen-size bedrooms and a shared luxury bathroom. The apartment is on the 4th floor of a historic 1400's palazzo with no elevator, but the views from the top are a worthy reward for the climb.

The final ascent brings you to the home's crowning glory: a beautifully modern kitchen and dining area that opens onto two sun-drenched terraces. From here, you can sip your morning coffee while taking in the iconic rooftops of Venice before stepping onto the magnificent 'altana'—the 5th highest private terrace in the city—to enjoy an unparalleled 360-degree panoramic view of St. Mark’s Campanile, il bacino di San Marco, the surrounding Venetian lagoon all the way to the Italian Alps.

Enhance Your Stay with Exclusive Amenities & Local Insider Tips

The Honesty Bar: Indulge in our carefully curated selection of local, biodynamic, and organic wines. Our honesty bar features Borgo Faveri red and white wines, a proud product of a Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard that cultivates its grapes with respect for nature. You’ll also find the exquisite Bacaro DOC Prosecco, the perfect way to toast a memorable evening.

Your Neighbourhood, Your Secret: Forget tourist traps and experience Venice like a local. Our prime location means you're just steps away from some of the city's best-kept secrets—all without a single bridge (or "Venetian hill") to cross!

• Dining: For an authentic local experience, Trattoria da Gigi is literally downstairs. If you’re looking for a special evening, Osteria alle Testiere, hailed as one of Venice's finest restaurants, is less than 100 meters away, making it easy to "roll home" after a sublime dinner.

• Morning Treats: Win the morning race for the best baked goods at Panificio Milani, a charming little bakery right on our doorstep, famous for its excellent baguettes and signature 'conchiglia' pastries.

• Gourmet Finds: For the best Italian cheeses and cured meats, a mere two-minute walk will take you to Salumeria Da Marco, Venice's top-rated delicatessen.

We believe that your vacation should feel like a fairy tale. Our home is where your story begins. We look forward to welcoming you to Venice.

Neighborhood highlights

The apartment is very well located in the heart of Venice in one of the most picturesque and representative parts of the city and is within minutes of San Marco Square on one side and the Rialto bridge on the other.

Castello, that’s the name of the neighborhood that surrounds our wonderful home and that will guide you throughout your journey to Venice and its ancient tradition! Here, you will feel the true essence of Venice, with laundry hanging out to dry between the windows, historical studios, bookshops, and boutiques where you can indulge in some local shopping, which feels so unique and separate from the rest of the world!

A few steps away there is the famous and beautiful Piazza San Marco, with the main attractions of Venice (Dodge Palace, St Mark’s Basilica, etc) all to be discovered, admired, and loved. A few minutes walk in the other direction will take you to the Rialto bridge that crosses over the narrowest point of the Grand Canal with its picturesque market.

If you feel like discovering other parts of the lagoon, you can take a Vaporetto (water bus) and visit famous Burano island with its bright small houses, Murano - famous for glassmaking;

Lido with its long sandy beaches and a place where Venice International Film Festival takes place every summer; abandoned Torcello to learn more about Venetian history. Immerse yourself in true Venetian culture and get lost in this fabulous city.

Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: Marco Polo, Venice
I was born in Venice to a family that has made glass in Murano for over 700 years and was blessed with the fortune of growing up surrounded by the city’s infamous artistic heritage. I then married my husband, an English man who shared my passion for the city and together we completely rebuilt, this our home on the rooftops of Venice. A home... terrace that offers a unique 360 degree perspective of the heart of the worlds most beautiful and delicate city. I have a passion for all things organic and natural that is reflected in the materials we used to renovate the appartment and cleaning materials used.
