If you are in love with our villas for sale in Venice, you must start to know the secrets of this city, following us among "calli" streets and courtyards.
The dream of every visitor of Venice? Get lost and fall in love in one of the many short courts that dot the capital of the Lagoon. Some of our houses for sale in venice are lucky enough to have them, others must be searched for, map in hand.
Let's start from the definition: discount means simply hidden, but it is much more than a simple closed or barely visible courtyard. It is in fact a quiet, intimate place, characterized by particular architectural elements - if you want to have an idea just scroll through the images of our venice villas for sale to get a picture of the city architecture - and usually guarantee shade and supply of water through a well. However, their history contributes to making them unique, veiled by the evocative names and by the many legends with which they are cloaked. Here are the most curious.
CORTE DELL’ANATOMIA (Santa Croce)
Once upon a time in Venice dissections of corpses were made in different places, schools and churches. Then in the seventeenth century came the anatomical theater and its court.
CORTE DEI PRETI (Dorsoduro)
Remember how once each parish had homes for the college of priests so that they were close to the community.
CORTE DE LA COMARE (Dorsoduro)
A tiny courtyard that takes its name from the profession of one of its inhabitants: the comare or midwife, a profession regulated in Venice since the seventeenth century.
CORTE SCURA E CHIARA (Santa Croce)
In Venice light is precious and sometimes the same environment can be partly dark and partly enjoy the sun and the glare of the sea. This city is also a play of light as our magnificent villas for sale in Venice teach.
CORTE ROTA DEL REMEDIO (Castello)
What was this "remedy" is revealed by the dialect that called malvasia, marketed here since the sixteenth century. In fact, it was said to invigorate legs and spirit.
CORTE DEL DIAVOLO (Santa Croce)
Unhospitable inhabitants? No, simply a nearby bridge, very steep, which was once nicknamed "the devil" by those who were forced to go there daily.
CORTE DEL PAPA
Dedicated to the most famous of his tenants,Pietro Barbo, who in 1464 was elected Pope with the name of Paul II and wanted to equip his hometown with a modern university, still at the forefront in Europe today.
CORTE STROLOGO (San Marco)
Sacred and profane, in this city, they take turns. That's why it may happen that a magician and astrologer lived a few steps from the Basilica.
CORTE PETRIANA
(San Polo)
A place of ancient culture. Here in the fifteenth century there was a typography and the following century, given the perfect acoustics, a theater was erected. Today it is a place of silence, in the heart of the historic center.
