Private Office, luxury profession

An exclusive service by Engel&Volkers to choose among prestigious apartments in Venice. We introduce it by presenting the Private Office advisor Emiliano Conti




A special service for a special clientele. This is how we could define the consultancy and sales service offered by Engel & Völkers to customers interested in the most prestigious properties. In fact, the Private Office division guarantees flexibility and maximum discretion in visiting the properties but also dedicated consultancy with the possibility of viewing apartments that are not publicly marketed.

Private Office is a service that Engel & Völkers offers in its offices around the world and it has a special web site where you can find the most interesting properties among which there are a lot of luxury apartments and palaces in Venice, a city where this service has a special value as our Private Office Advisor Emiliano Conti explains.

“Venice is a great place to work in the real estate sector - says Emiliano - since staying here is like living in a museum and, being able to move around without a car, we all walk through this museum, greeting each other as we do in small towns. Moreover - and this is the second important advantage - Venice is an international city of art. There are a lot of bars and restaurants, so there is a wide choice. Above all, there is an international flow of people and ideas that many cities envy us”.

Venice therefore combines the tranquility and warmth of a provincial city with the cosmopolitan spirit of a Mediterranean capital, which for centuries has been the link between the West and the East. Then - Emiliano explains again - there is something that only Venice has: “The first philosophy lesson at the University (a subject that our Private Office advisor studied at Ca' Foscari) is that in every moment of your life, you are putting your philosophy into practice. When you talk to people and express yourself, you are expressing your vision. You are expressing your being. So, I tend to develop a connection with my clients because I think Venice chooses people, just like it chose me."

The secret of the Private Office in Venice is also this: a connection with people and places, something necessary to appreciate even more these properties which are a concentration of art, history and technology. Such as, for example, the Piano Nobile Palazzo Priuliwith its facade where the lions, symbol of the city, are proudly displayed, while inside, the marble staircase decorated with sculptures, arches, painted wooden beams and frescoes, is a leap into historic Venice. The living rooms overlook the canal below and are embellished with artistic windows and ornate wooden beams. The rooms of the apartment develop along the other two sides of the building: here we find the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the laundry area and the kitchen, equipped with a secondary service entrance. The property is completed by a charming suite on the first floor, with bathroom and splendid view of the canal. In addition, an exclusive private water door allows you to return home in complete tranquility and privacy, as our customers often demand.


However, this is only one of the proposals that you can visit, accompanied by Emiliano, in love with his work and with Venice, a city where also tecnhology is being developed. “We are very proud of how we are tackling climate change thanks to the MOSE system which has allowed us to say goodbye to boots”. Above all, however, "Venice is a fragile ecosystem" we have to preserve in every way, in particular by choosing and making us choose from properties that are at the same time works of art. Only in this way we can contribute to that open-air museum that is Venice.
