Corte Foscarini, restored in 2015, is located on the second floor of the elegant Palazzo Foscarini: a patrician palace of historical importance dating back to the 16th century.
Palazzo Foscarini is located in the convenient, central and lively Dorsoduro district.
The CORTE FOSCARINI apartment enters the Palazzo from the scenic entrance via a monumental historic spiral staircase; it is very bright as it overlooks with numerous windows on one side towards the characteristic internal courtyard of the Palazzo with its wellhead, and on the other towards another courtyard onto which the secondary facade of the Palazzo looks.
Corte Foscarini is elegantly furnished and consists of: a living/dining room with a kitchenette (fully equipped: induction hob, microwave oven with grill, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher) and equipped with a comfortable sofa/bed; a spacious bathroom (with large shower, hairdryer and washing machine); large bedroom with double bed.
In furnishing and organizing it, we aimed to make it comfortable and pleasant by providing it with all the comforts and necessities for a pleasant stay, while at the same time safeguarding and underlining the characteristics of the Venetian tradition of architecture and furnishings.
We offer our guests the opportunity to experience the city in an authentic way and to stay in an 18th century building of historical importance at reasonable prices.
The accommodation is equipped with all comforts and has been furnished to make you feel at ease, as if you were at home!
The Palazzo, built by the noble Foscarini family (who gave the city of Venice one of the last important Doges and a great man of letters) in the second half of the sixteenth century and remained their property until the fall of the Republic, overlooks the Santa Margherita canal and the beautiful facade of the church of Santa Maria dei Carmini and still retains notable artistic and architectural features, evidence of its important history, which are present both on the exterior of the building and inside in its individual apartments.
The Palazzo Foscarini apartment has its entrance in the beautiful internal courtyard, which is accessed by a large arch, and overlooks the park on one side and the characteristic small vegetable gardens/gardens of the neighboring buildings on the other. The
elegant small building of the "Biblioteca Foscarini", built by the doge-man of letters in the mid-eighteenth century, at the time of the last important restoration and expansion of the entire Palazzo, acts as a backdrop to the renowned park.
