Description
Sometimes a house can open a bridge to cross the ages, and Villa Mattutina, letting us cross its iron portal, seems to transport us to the Belle Époque! The lands of the Lido have in fact been a lively setting for avant-garde architectural experimentation, and this villa is one of the most harmonious examples of eclecticism, interpreted in a neo-Renaissance style by the architect Giovanni Sardi, who also designed the famous Hotel Excelsior. Along the garden path, the entrance door and the large windows give the idea of a portico, marked by a linear style up to the large veranda. On the ground floor, the entrance leads into the dining room: at the end there is a large fireplace, and a bookcase separates it from the rest of the living room. The room communicates with the veranda. The kitchen and other functional spaces, such as the services, are located on the same floor, and are also conveniently connected to the garden. On the upper floor we find the three bedrooms: the master bedroom boasts a beautiful corner balcony overlooking the garden. The villa includes a second independent apartment with a magnificent roof terrace. Crossing the living room, the kitchen, two other bedrooms served by a large bathroom and the attic, we climb the stairs to appreciate it in person. Our gaze plays at guessing the names of the surrounding villas, other important examples of the Art Nouveau style that characterizes the center of the Lido. The modernity of the project is also found in the rear part of the garden, where the second portal opens with a driveway and garage. Becoming the new owners of this villa means participating in the history of Venice and its Lido, feeling like protagonists in your own home in one of the most exclusive places in the world. The Lido of Venice is the favorite seaside resort for both Venetians and tourists from Italy and all over the world, appreciated for its crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches. The Art Nouveau style still characterizes the entire island, accompanied by the “belle epoque” atmosphere that reaches its peak at the end of the summer thanks to the famous Film Festival. The Lido is easily reachable in a few minutes with various lines of public water transport and the entire island is accessible by car, which can be transported thanks to the public ferry-boat service connected to the mainland. The property is located in a strategic position, very close to shops and services (bus stop, vaporetti and ferry boats, supermarkets, restaurants ...) but quiet and convenient to the beaches, both those equipped with the characteristic huts and the free ones including that of San Nicolò, known for its natural oasis and for the pleasant walk that along the dam leads to the lighthouse.
