Description
It overlooks its balconies on the stretch of Strada Nuova that leads from Campo Santa Sofia to
Campo SS. Apostoli, just a few steps from Ca’ d’Oro, in a central and lively area popular with
Venetians and tourists. The building, built in the second half of the 19th century, has three floors
and lovely apartments. The 2013 restoration kept Ca’ delle Ortensie’s nineteenth-century
palazzina character unchanged, with its minute size, light-filled rooms, Venetian wrought-iron
floors and original Istrian stone staircase. The decor, simple and welcoming, echoes the name of
the house in the hydrangea-flowered fabrics. WHY LIKE IT. For the understated charm, being a
typical 19th-century Venetian home. No glitz, but understated beauty and a splendid view of
Strada Nuova. For convenience, as it is located in a lively and central area, within walking distance
of Ca’ D’Oro and Rialto. The Santa Sofia gondola service, which crosses the Grand Canal, is a
pleasure to renew every day. A SOME HISTORY The section of Strada Nuova where Ca’ delle
Ortensie is located was inaugurated in 1871, as part of the nineteenth-century project for an
artery connecting the Ferrovia and Rialto areas. Along the “Strada” (the only thoroughfare in the
city bearing this name) are bars, restaurants and stores, all of which contribute to giving this part
of Venice its characteristic liveliness. In Campo Santa Sofia, a gondola service allows the charming
crossing of the Grand Canal, to the Rialto market, at a very modest price. This stretch of Strada
Nuova holds many surprises. When you arrive at the gondola service, turn back. You will see the
upper part of the facade and the squared-off bell tower of the church of Santa Sofia trapped
among other buildings, after the partial demolition of the building two centuries ago. In the
direction of the station, you will also find the Ca’ d’Oro, the famous Gothic-Florentine palace with
the precious four-lobed loggias open to the Grand Canal, now a museum. Appart. “Ortensia
