Palazzo Morosini
Palazzo Morosini degli Spezieri is a 15th century palace with nine luxurious holiday apartment rentals in the heart of Venice.
The atmosphere at Casa Flora is very contemporary, bright and airy, as pretty much everything in the apartment was created by young Italian designers.
How would you describe Casa Flora in a nutshell?
Casa Flora is a boutique apartment rental in Venice, Italy. It started as a workshop providing the opportunity for design students to display their talents. The goal was to create a space that would make guests feel like they are temporarily residents of Venice and enable them to experience hidden Venetian life.
Our family had been running Hotel Flora for 50 years, and we wanted to do something a bit different than just provide guests with a room. As a result Casa Flora turned into a home for the design savvy traveller, with all of the apartment’s interior design custom made by local artisans and designers.
Please tell us about the interior design.
Casa Flora was designed and furnished in cooperation with local artisans and designers. The furniture was custom made by Italian designers, and everything in Casa Flora is 100% Italian design. We wanted the house to resemble a lagoon, so we chose a colour scheme of light pink, yellow, blue and green.
Each piece is special, but I love the kitchen and the large table the most. I also really like the spa areas in the rooms, which were custom made as well. A young iron worker near Venice made the beautiful bedside tables, which include a small space for plants as well. All of the pieces in the apartment can be bought, should you wish to take something home with you.
How would you describe the atmosphere at Casa Flora?
The atmosphere at Casa Flora is very contemporary, bright and airy, as pretty much everything in the apartment was created by young Italian designers. At the same time it is a very relaxing place, right in the centre of Venice. As part of a workshop, design students were instructed to create a space typical of Venetian palaces, yet with a new, contemporary feel. The common area is very open, however the bedrooms are private, intimate and relaxing, with a small spa and hammam. The house is lush with lots of green plants all around.
Who is the perfect guest for the house?
The apartment can accommodate many different types of guests, whether it is couples, a group of friends, a work group, or families with children. However, what our guests have in common is that they appreciate the design and details of our apartment, and love to experience Venice from a local’s perspective.
Casa Flora is a big luxury apartment with three bedrooms that are all unique, intimate and equipped with their own private Turkish spas. The common area is comfortable and cosy, with a big sofa, small library, and a view of the garden. The kitchen is very contemporary and has a stunning central island with a green stone countertop. This is where we offer cooking classes, wine tastings, and similar activities. The dining room is perfect for up to 12 people, who can sit comfortably at the briar wood and brass legged dining table. Throughout the house there are lush plants, which makes for such a fresh and rejuvenating atmosphere. Even our bedside tables can be turned into pots for plants. Everything here is multi-functional and playful, including the bathrooms.
Our Casa Flora breakfast: At your arrival, there will be basic breakfast products (coffee, tea, milk, yogurt, eggs and fresh fruits). Daily breakfast basket will be delivered every morning with fresh bread, croissants, butter and jam. For any special request (gluten-free, lactose-free) please inform us and we will be glad to order that too.
Our Casa Flora daily maid service: A daily regular cleaning (bedrooms and bathrooms) is included. If you prefer no one enters in the apartment during your stay, please inform us at your earliest convenience. If you wish to have a full cleaning including kitchen and common areas, it would be possible with an extra fee (upon request in advance).
A chef is available for private dinners and we can organize food workshops. We also highly recommend a private shoe-making session. A local shoemaker creates incredible customized shoes on demand and will even come to the apartment to take your foot measurements for that perfect fit.
There are many other experiences available. We enjoy creating the best itineraries for our guests.
As a local, I can recommend several wonderful experiences. Go to the nearby markets to discover the historical importance of Venetian food and produce. Also, visit the Laguna and the islands of Venice, as they are an important part of our history. Of course, San Marco Square is a must-see after the crowds have gone, so I’d leave that for the evening. During the day guests could visit the other side of Venice, specifically the Cannaregio neighbourhood where the Misericordia is located. There are far less tourists in this area and it offers a real slice of genuine Venetian life with some of the most beautiful sunsets in Venice as well.
The location of Casa Flora is perfect. As I was born and raised nearby, I can really testify to that. The apartment is located in the middle of Venice, but away from crowds on a very small and quiet street. Additionally, there are art museums, restaurants, and venues for shopping nearby. Basically, it is very easy to get anywhere within just a few mins.
In Venice, every season is beautiful. During the winter, especially in November and December, the atmosphere here is really fantastic. Spring and early summer are also wonderful and it is not too warm or busy in May and June, plus the days are long so there is a lot of light for exploring. From experience I can say that the ideal stay in Venice would be around five days. This is a sufficient amount of time to truly begin to experience Venice and its surroundings.
