The Vibe

Residentially authentic with luxury retreats—Venice without the crowds. The atmosphere is local and peaceful. The pace is unhurried. The crowd is residents, artists, and luxury hotel guests seeking escape.

Description

The long island facing San Marco across the Giudecca Canal where Venetians escape tourist crowds. Former industrial buildings now house luxury hotels like Cipriani and artists studios. Palladio's Redentore church anchors the eastern end. Locals walk the fondamenta for sunset views of San Marco without the crush. This is residential Venice—authentic, unhurried, magnificently positioned.
