Veneto, Venice, Venice, Italy

Bright duplex penthouse with a roof terrace, offering panoramic views stretching across the Venice Lido and St. Mark’s Basin

This delightful penthouse is set in Sant’Elena, overlooking a spacious and gently swaying pine forest that stretches towards the lagoon, creating an atmosphere of rare serenity.

Located on the top floor and served by a lift, the residence extends to approximately 100 sq m across two levels.

The entrance opens into a bright open-plan living and dining area, where a sequence of large windows invites in natural light and frames soothing views of the surrounding greenery. A compact yet well-appointed kitchen is discreetly separated by a sliding wooden panel.

Upstairs, beneath sloped ceilings with exposed wooden beams, an inviting studio or reading alcove leads on one side to the rooftop terrace, and on the other to two bedrooms, a bathroom, and additional attic space. The charming terrace enjoys views that extend across Venice Lido and St. Mark’s Basin.

On the ground floor, the property benefits from a generous storage room with 4-m high ceilings and independent access from the garden.

The neighbourhood is rich in character, offering a vibrant mix of traditional restaurants, bars, artisan workshops, and antique shops - an authentic expression of Venetian life.

An ideal opportunity for those wishing to create a home to their own taste, set within one of the city’s most charming and genuine districts, yet quietly removed from the main tourist routes.

Sant’Elena is distinguished by a unique heritage that blends spirituality, art and nature. Forming part of the Castello district at the eastern edge of the city, it can be reached on foot via one of the three bridges crossing the Rio dei Giardini, or by vaporetto.

The island takes its name from the Church of Saint Helena the Empress, where the relics of Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, have been preserved and venerated for over eight centuries. According to tradition, the relics were brought here in 1211 by Venetians returning from Constantinople after the Fourth Crusade.
