Dimora San Lorenzo offers what is genuinely rare in Venice: a private courtyard — an outdoor space that is entirely yours. In a city where most apartments have no outdoor space at all, stepping through your private entrance into a quiet, enclosed Venetian courtyard is a daily pleasure that changes the character of a stay completely.

The Natural Base for Biennale Arte 2026

10 Minutes from the Arsenale

Dimora San Lorenzo is in Castello — the neighbourhood of both Biennale venues. The Arsenale entrance is 10 minutes on foot; the Giardini is 12 minutes. After long days at the pavilions, return to your private courtyard and the optional wellness spa — a soaking tub and massage shower — to decompress completely. Book direct for priority access to vernissage and opening-week dates.

The Courtyard

Step through the private entrance directly into a quiet, enclosed Venetian courtyard. Table and chairs for al fresco breakfast, afternoon reading, or evening aperitivi. Entirely private — no shared access, no passing neighbours. It is one of those details that turns a stay into something you remember.

The Bedrooms

Both bedrooms are furnished with quality linens, blackout shutters, and thoughtful detail. The master bedroom faces the courtyard. The second double bedroom is equally comfortable — suited to a couple, or configured as a twin on request. Both rooms have good natural light and independent climate control.

The Space

A compact, fully equipped kitchen — hob, Nespresso (capsules included), and all essentials — opens directly through the private entrance onto the courtyard. Step outside for breakfast in the sun or a quiet evening aperitivo. Renovated bathroom with walk-in shower. Italian toiletries provided. High-speed WiFi throughout.

Optional Add-on · Direct Booking

Wellness Experience

Opening from the courtyard: a private wellness room with a deep soaking bathtub and a multi-jet massage shower. Completely private — no shared facilities, no timetable. After a day at the Biennale, it is exactly what you need.

Direct booking guests can pre-book the Wellness Package: we prepare the spa before arrival with luxury bathrobes, slippers, and premium Italian cosmetics. Request it when you contact us after booking.

✦ Wellness Package is an optional paid add-on, priced separately. Contact us on WhatsApp for the current rate and to reserve.
