Palazzo Foscarini
A Noble Venetian palace for your charming stay in Venice

Palazzo Foscarini is situated on the Canale Santa Margherita and faces the beautiful façade of the Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini. The Palace was built by the Foscarini family and remained in their possession until the fall of the Republic. As members of the Venetian Nobility, they are particularly remembered for having provided the city with one of the last important Doges- who was also a noted man of letters. Today, it still boasts a number of remarkable artistic and architectural features which bear witness to its noteworthy history; these can be found both on the exterior of the building and within the individual apartments.

The Palazzo Foscarini apartment is reached via a charming internal courtyard and grand archway. One side looks onto the park, whilst the other looks onto the small orchard gardens of surrounding buildings. An elegant little building known as the "Foscarini Library" provides a delightful back-drop to this famous park. It was built by the Doge-Scholar in the middle of the 18 th Century at the time of the last important enlargement and restoration of the palace.

The Palazzo Foscarini apartment is elegantly and traditionally furnished and arranged thus: the Grand "Salon": the large room has an impressive beamed and moulded ceiling five meters above the room, a fine inlaid marble fireplace and is main sitting-room/dining area, the large divan can open up into a double bed. There are two large windows and a French window which lead onto a terrace overlooking the garden, so the room is full of light.

The Kitchenette is a modern and well-equipped kitchen area. The Bathroom is fitted with bath/shower unit. The principal bedroom with double bed and wardrobe. The "mezzanine" room is a small room reached by a little staircase - a charming nook where one can escape to read or meditate. Here there is an armchair which converts to a single bed and a small wardrobe.

The apartment has that traditional Venetian atmosphere which renders it cosy and welcoming. It has been decorated and studied so as to make it attractive and pleasant, offering every necessary comfort without sacrificing the original period features or compromising its history.
