It was 2012 when the current owners fell in love with Palazzo Morosini, then in a semi-abandoned state, captivated by the beauty of the light filtering through every room thanks to its corner location and the large “secret” garden with two water gates.

The meticulous restoration and interior design project were overseen by Venetian architect Umberto Branchini, along with the owners, who in 2017 opened nine luxury apartments, some of which offer high-quality hospitality and concierge services. These residences are designed as the perfect “home away from home” for those who want to experience all the charm of Venice in freedom and comfort, combining history with cutting-edge technological comfort.

A palace of ancient origins that stands majestically over the Rio di Sant’Agostin, designed to make every guest feel at home.

The Soul of Restoration: Between History and Future

Staying at Palazzo Morosini degli Spezieri means stepping into the heart of the history of the Serenissima. The Morosini family was one of the “apostolic families” of Venice, a dynasty that gave the Republic four Doges, as well as countless condottieri and cardinals.

Here, in the 15th century, when the Via delle Spezie was discovered, the streets surrounding the Palazzo and its warehouses were occupied by spice merchants. In homage to this history, it is called “Morosini degli Spezieri” and each apartment is named after a spice. The restoration included the recovery of the exposed 15th-century beams, Venetian terrazzo floors, and fragments of period frescoes, which blend with natural materials such as oak and Istrian stone.

Home Automation: Invisible Luxury

What makes Palazzo Morosini degli Spezieri unique in the Venetian panorama is its technological soul, dedicated to total comfort. Each apartment is equipped with intelligent systems for climate control, lighting, and audio, all intuitively manageable. Smart, but above all, beautiful.

From the “hideaway” kitchen to the mirrored TVs (which resemble elegant mirrors), every technological detail blends into the elegance of the design.

Interior Design: The Elegance of “Made in Italy”

Each apartment is unique, furnished with the best of contemporary Italian design, especially Venetian, featuring Rubelli, Fortuny, and Bevilacqua fabrics, Murano glass chandeliers and lamps made by the Donà glassworks, Saba, Arketipo, Gervasoni, Emmemobili, and iCarraro furniture, Knoll and Desalto tables, Kartell coffee tables, LaPalma stools, and Azucena chairs.

You can choose between one, two, or three bedrooms, or even combine two apartments for a total of four bedrooms, to suit your needs. Each apartment features a fully equipped kitchen and every comfort for even long stays, just like at home.

A secret oasis: the private garden for outdoor cinema

Palazzo Morosini degli Spezieri boasts two secret spaces, a delight for guests and the many exclusive events that can be hosted: the entrance hall with a water gate and the magnificent garden overlooking the Rio di Sant’Agostin.

The garden, available to guests, is equipped with a Bluetooth sound system, a 120-inch large TV screen for screening movies, and a cooking station, offering the option of requesting a private chef for a special evening.

Palazzo Morosini degli Spezieri is one of the rare locations in Venice where you can sip a glass of wine in a private garden, surrounded by silence interrupted only by the passing of a gondola, while inside everything responds to the touch of a button.

The Secret

It is said that the age-old scent of pepper and cloves still permeates the palace’s foundations, almost as if the structure itself had absorbed the essence of the precious merchandise that made it rich.
