La Casa del Sacro e del Profano

Venice · Arsenale · Rio della Tana

There is a Venice that makes no noise

There is a Venice that breathes far from the crowds.
Between the Giardini and the Arsenale, where art and water have spoken to each other for centuries.

La Casa del Sacro e del Profano

Above a votive shrine beloved by the sestiere, beneath a local tavern. Prayers and wine, devotion and conversation.

Beside a place where Venice once found its power, now between silence and care the heart finds its rebirth.

Three Artist Apartments

Three floors inspired by Mondrian, Monet and Leonardo. Each with its own character, its own energy.

A dual soul that today lives in a new form.

A passionate restoration has transformed a house marked by time into a place of beauty and harmony.

Terrace on the Water

Outdoor space overlooking the Arsenale canal, for slow breakfasts and liquid sunsets.

Light Everywhere

Spaces designed to truly recharge, far from the noisiest tourist flow.

Direct Booking

No hit-and-run tourism. A direct relationship with those who welcome you.

Location

110 metres from the Arsenale ticket office, the heart of the Biennale. The rest of Venice is an easy walk away. (Piazza San Marco: 15 minutes)

Vaporetto stops: Arsenale · Giardini

The Apartments

Three ways to inhabit art

01

First Floor

Casa Mondrian

Essence and form. Primary colors, clean lines, pure volumes. A serious play of geometries: living area with bold red and blue, minimal kitchen, iconic bathroom with checkered shower.

The master bedroom continues the same rhythm: white, deep blue, graphic details. For those who love design that isn’t afraid to declare itself.

2–4 guests

02

Second Floor

Casa Monet

Soft light and atmospheres. Pastel tones, sage green, aquatic blues. Here light commands: it enters, settles, softens everything.

The master bedroom is a quiet refuge. The kitchen and living room are conceived as a small interior garden: no visual noise, only harmony.

2–4 guests

03

Third Floor

Casa Leonardo

Curiosity and contemplation. Warm beams, natural materials, contemporary lines. The space of the curious mind: discreet details that invite observation.

The highlight is the terrace looking directly onto the Arsenale: in the morning for coffee, in the evening for a glass of wine while light slides across the bricks.

2–4 guests
