Description
Surrounded by the waters of the lagoon and a lush garden with a swimming pool, the small Gothic palace on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista – connected to Torcello by a small bridge – is the only building remaining intact from the ancient monastic complex built before the year 1000. In the 1950s, it underwent restoration work to convert it into a residence, taking on its current form.
The ground floor features two beautiful terraces overlooking the garden, a cosy entrance hall, a kitchen, a dining room, and two double bedrooms that share a bathroom. There is also a practical wardrobe area with a laundry area.
The first floor features a large, central reception room that leads to an elegant sitting room, a library and a cosy lounge. There is also a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room, as well as a second double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
The second floor comprises three bright double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A panoramic rooftop terrace offers spectacular 360° views of the lagoon and provides a unique backdrop at any time of day.
A private island surrounded by nature
The garden and adjoining grounds span the entirety of the small San Giovanni Evangelista island, which is bordered by the distinctive salt marshes and lagoon channels that surround it. This natural setting of rare beauty features a private vineyard that was planted around ten years ago for family use.
The swimming pool, complete with two changing rooms and a toilet, is situated on a gentle natural slope formed by ancient archaeological excavations. It is in a secluded yet commanding position.
The expanse of green spaces, the large lawn, and the unobstructed view of the lagoon all combine to create a sense of absolute tranquillity. When arriving from Venice, the striking impression is of a private oasis where time seems to slow down, enveloped in silence, light, and the authentic beauty of one of the world’s most exclusive and evocative locations.
This extraordinary property is surrounded by nature and offers absolute privacy.
The swimming pool, nestled within the lush greenery of the garden and flanked by two changing rooms and a dedicated bathroom, completes this exclusive setting, ensuring maximum comfort while you relax. The private pier ensures maximum privacy and complete freedom of movement.
