STUNNING CORTE RUBBI 3-BEDROOM RETREAT WITH CANAL VIEWS IN VENICE

Corte Rubbi 10 is a handsome three-bedroom apartment filled with character, colour, and Venetian charm, set within the historic Corte Rubbi palace on the border of Castello and San Marco. Located just minutes from St. Mark's Square, this stylish third-floor residence offers a distinctive base from which to experience the history, atmosphere, canals, and iconic sights of Venice.

The apartment forms part of an ancient canal-side palace that has been carefully transformed into a collection of contemporary residences. Once forgotten, the building has been thoughtfully restored while retaining elements of its historic identity. Its position at the gondola-filled T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals gives the property an unmistakably Venetian setting.

Corte Rubbi 10 accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms. The apartment is spread across the third floor and is accessed by stairs. A porter service can be arranged in advance for guests who require assistance with luggage, subject to an additional surcharge.

The interiors combine exposed wooden beams, wooden flooring, colourful furnishings, distinctive wallpaper, and contemporary comforts. The result is a warm and welcoming home that combines the atmosphere of historic Venice with a fresh and highly individual interior style.

THE CORTE RUBBI PALACE

Corte Rubbi is an ancient canal-side palace situated within the historic heart of Venice. Its landside entrance is hidden within the secret courtyard known as Corte Rubbi, creating a more private atmosphere away from the movement of the surrounding canals and streets.

The building occupies a particularly central position on the Castello/San Marco border, close to St. Mark's Square and a wide selection of historic attractions, restaurants, shops, and waterfront locations.

The restored palace contains a collection of individually designed apartments, each offering its own colour palette and layout. Corte Rubbi 10 is one of the larger residences, providing three bedrooms and accommodation for up to six guests.

LIVING & DINING AREA

The main living and dining room is spacious and deliberately pared back, allowing its striking architectural details and colourful furnishings to take centre stage.

The room is decorated in shades of turquoise and magenta with a subtle Moroccan influence, creating a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Warm wooden flooring runs beneath the exposed wooden timbers overhead, while a comfortable sofa and additional seating provide space to relax together. A dining suite offers a dedicated place for meals and conversation.

The living room also contains a well-equipped kitchenette designed for light cooking. Its position within the main living area makes it easy for guests to prepare simple meals while remaining connected to the rest of the group.

The combination of traditional beams, wooden floors, colourful furnishings, and contemporary design gives this space a strong sense of personality.

PRINCIPAL BEDROOM

The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room with a double bed and views towards the canal.

Its exposed and sloping beamed ceiling contributes to the historic atmosphere, while the room's generous character and refined styling make it a comfortable private retreat.

The bedroom benefits from its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. The bathroom features a sloping beamed ceiling and a sunken bathtub reached by steps, creating an unusual and memorable bathing space.

The canal views from the principal bedroom add another layer to the Venetian experience, allowing guests to enjoy the atmosphere of the surrounding waterways from the privacy of their accommodation.

SECOND BEDROOM

The second bedroom is another attractive double room furnished with a double bed.

Its walls are decorated with Cole & Son's Procuratie e Scimmie wallpaper, providing a distinctive decorative backdrop and reinforcing the apartment's playful but sophisticated approach to design.

Painted beams add to the character of the room, while the overall styling remains elegant and comfortable.

THIRD BEDROOM

The third bedroom provides a different atmosphere, with two single beds and a sloping beamed ceiling.

The room is elegantly decorated in sage green and scarlet, creating a calm yet colourful sleeping environment.

The twin configuration makes this bedroom particularly suitable for children, friends, or guests who prefer separate beds.

Together, the three bedrooms provide a flexible sleeping arrangement for groups of up to six guests.

BATHROOMS

Corte Rubbi 10 features two luxurious bathrooms.

The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with a distinctive sunken bathtub, steps leading down into the bath area, and a sloping beamed ceiling.

A second luxurious bathroom serves the other bedrooms and features a chromotherapy shower and another sloping ceiling.

The bathrooms combine contemporary facilities with the architectural character found throughout the apartment.

HISTORIC CHARACTER & INTERIOR DESIGN

One of Corte Rubbi 10's defining features is the way historic Venetian architecture has been combined with expressive contemporary design.

Exposed wooden beams, sloping ceilings, and traditional structural details preserve the character of the building, while turquoise and magenta furnishings, sage green and scarlet accents, distinctive wallpaper, and carefully selected décor give the interiors a highly individual personality.

The result is a home that feels stylish and modern without losing its connection to the ancient palace in which it is located.
