A large, canal front property blending timeless Venetian grandeur and modern sophistication

Located in one of the liveliest districts of Venice, Palazzo Heureka is the ideal choice for guests seeking to be fully immersed in local history. Dating back to the 16th century, this noble Venetian residence offers an intimate, highly tailored sanctuary where historic grandiosity and chic contemporary design meet.

Overlooking the canal of Madonna dell’ Orto, in the northwestern sestriere, the palazzo features a private mooring, offering guests a smooth, discreet arrival experience. Originally built during the transition between the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the architecture follows the typical Venetian style, with its striking facade featuring white walls, black shutters, and an elegant stone balustrade balcony overlooking the waterfront entrance.

Indoors, the multi-level palazzo has a distinctive style. The interiors have been meticulously restored with reverence for the property’s Renaissance heritage, preserving original terrazzo floors, vaulted entryways, and soaring wooden beams. However, rather than traditional period decor, each living space is individually styled with rich textures, bold colour palettes, and curated installations. Vibrant Rubelli fabrics, bespoke furnishings, and eclectic modern art pieces create a unique style throughout.

Across each floor, the property offers several spaces for relaxation and socialisation. The main social hub is the central main-floor salon, perfect for private dining, receptions, or quiet relaxation. Guests can also enjoy a music room with a grand piano, a quiet library, a bar, and a secondary lounge and dining salon in the penthouse.

Up to 29 guests can be accommodated across 14 double bedrooms and one cosy single room. Each bedroom and larger suite has been painstakingly restored to preserve its history while adding modern character and a distinct identity. The spaces are enhanced by contemporary furnishings, high-quality fabrics, and luxurious en-suite facilities, with many suites also boasting in-room bathtubs. Some suites also feature a private living room, providing an extra relaxation area.

Combining rich historical architecture, bold modern design, and rare private outdoor space, Palazzo Heureka offers an unparalleled taste of Venetian luxury.

About the area

Palazzo Heureka is situated in the north-western sestriere of Cannaregio, one of the most vibrant districts in Venice. Cannaregio retains its residential soul, its streets lined with historic 16th-century palazzi, traditional wine bars, and waterside osterias serving local seafood.

Nearby, the Madonna dell’Orto area is celebrated for its stunning Gothic church with masterpieces by Tintoretto, while the historic Jewish Quarter lies just a short stroll away. High-end shoppers and art enthusiasts can reach the Rialto Bridge or St. Mark’s Square within a picturesque 20-minute walk or a scenic gondola ride.

Exceptional Service & Beautiful Villa

5/5

"It was a pleasure to work with the My Private Villas team. They were so responsive and helped me create an exceptional experience for my clients, a multigenerational family of 12. I look forward to working with them again soon! Villa Sorrento delivered an exceptional experience for my clients. The house manager anticipated every need, and the villa offered generous space and comfort for the whole family. It was an ideal base for time together on the Amalfi Coast.    "

Best Family Trip

5/5

"Just ended the most epic week celebrating my parents 50th anniversary in this gorgeous villa which has amazing facilities like a separate gym, a huge terrace with surreal views of the mountains and Bellagio, a gorgeous pool, and a ping pong table. This kept the kids happy which means it let us adults rest. The villa was kept super clean with the most helpful Terrence who made everyone of us feel at home. Terrence kept the kitchen stocked, and helped organised everything. Mauro, Michael and Elisabetta's breakfasts and dinners were fantastic and we really got to experience Italian hospitality. Chef Mauro's cooking class and Angela's yoga class were a family trip highlight. Thank you to all for making this such a memorable holiday "
