My name is Sabina, I have a University Degree in Italian Modern Literature and one in Oriental Languages (Chinese). I lived in Venice since twenty years. I settled down after travelling in Asia as a student and a journalist. I love Venice's human dimension and its exstraordinary beauty.

The Residenza Valier is located in the heart of one of the most famous and fascinating cities of the world, surrounded by buildings that date back to the distant history of the Maritime Republic, and it offers the refinement and the charm of a historic Venetian Town House combined with the comforts and convenience of accommodation furnished in contemporary style to make your holiday a wonderful experience. I was fascinated by this characteristic when I decided to buy it.

Located in the heart of Venice, in a very lively area, popular with Venetians for its famous market and picturesque “bacari” (wine bars), Residenza Valier is, however, very quiet. The main entrance to the building, which once belonged to the Valier family, leads to a historical setting with a large entrance hall and an imposing flight of stairs with original 16th century features. The entrance to the Residenza Valier is at the top of the stairs.

The apartment has been renovated recently bringing to light the beautiful wood beams, and the space has been divided in a way that not only gives privacy to guests – there are two spacious double bedrooms - but has permitted the construction of two bathrooms, a rare thing in Venice, one for each room.

The living area is comfortable, with a modern American-style kitchen and an inner corner with a fridge, a large sink and pantry. From the living room you can admire the little square below and the roofs of neighbouring houses. From the bedrooms you can see the wide street that runs along one side of the building and have a glimpse of Campo San Silvestro with its large church.

The whole apartment is very bright with the sun lighting up the rooms in the afternoon, making the place very warm and pleasant. Due to this Residenza Valier has none of the damp that often affects houses in the old part of the city. The decor is modern and is influenced by our passion for the East, reminiscent of the travels of Marco Polo. Of course you cannot miss that little touch of Venice in the selection of prints that decorate the walls.

Its strategic location, close to the most interesting places of art and means of water transport, and the combination of the ancient and modern contribute to Residenza Valier’s unique characteristics, offering guests the opportunity to spend a pleasant stay in Venice whether they come as tourists or on business.
