There are houses Venice that can be read as an essay on art history, because inside them the passage of time has left important traces of the different styles that have characterized the architecture of the city.
Palazzo Balbi Mocenigo is a perfect example of this. Eclecticism of the rooms, splendid friezes, refined materials make it a real jewel among the houses for sale in Venice that the Engel & Volkers agency can present to its customers. Let's find out together.
Everything is harmoniously juxtaposed, thanks to the light that diffuses in the different rooms, starting from the passing hall, and to the presence of many openings towards the outside, such as terraces and roof terrace overlooking the water.
The glance between the different rooms with the marbles and gilding almost seems to lead us into a Visconti film, in which ladies and gentlemen in costume can walk through the rooms. The size and layout of the rooms seem to indulge this cinematic dream: on the ground floor there is the large hall ideal for parties with rooms and service areas on the sides and direct access to the garden, while on the upper floor there is the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms and bathrooms.
The Accademia Galleries, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni and the Punta della Dogana museum are certainly the main attractions of a neighborhood that also breathes the culturally bubbly air of the Ca 'Foscari University.
It is enough to walk along the streets of the district to discover original shops, bacari full of cicchetti and places where it is nice to linger. In this lively but often crowded area, Palazzo Balbi Mocenigo enjoys a privileged position, in the San Barnaba area, secluded from the major tourist flows and at the same time close to shops and supermarkets, but also convenient for transport: vaporetto (Ca 'Rezzonico / Accademia) and bus and train station.
We tried to tell you about the beauty of this house in Venice with photos and words. However, there is one thing that we cannot explain, that light that enters through the windows at certain times of the day and that gradually turns on all the details that make the home unique. Come and discover them by contacting our experts from the Engel & Volkers agency in Venice.
