A DREAM CAME TRUE IN 2011.

​

Here is the story behind:

​

"We were walking along the fundamenta on the Giudecca when Andrea, the real estate agent, stopped and turned around.

"Actually," he said, "I think this is the flat you are looking for."

We entered an arched doorway and climbed up to the top floor. Andrea let us in. We looked out of the windows and almost instantly, we knew he was right.

 

The dream

Our dream of an apartment in Venice started years ago. This magical city has been special to us since we got engaged at Caffee Florian on the Piazza San Marco during Carnevale in 1985. We have visited regularly, often several times a year, alone - together and later with our two sons. Last spring we decided to stop renting and look into buying.

​

Quite by chance, after searching the internet for apartments, we came across Andrea Redivo Zaglia and his company Properties in Italy. He immediately responded to our inquiries and asked for a 'wish list'.

​

We knew what we wanted: A place with light and view, tucked away from the tourist crowds. There are lots of places for sale, but not so easy to find the right one on your own. Andrea knew exactly what to do. He offered to set up viewings according to our wishes, and was very well prepared when we visited the city in July 2011. It was then, by the end of the first afternoon together, that we first entered the apartment we now own.

​About us:

Oddbjørn is an art historian specialized in cultural heritage and Ingeborg is a communicator and novelist.  Ca´Eufemia is our personal holiday home and we visit as often as possible. Every time, this magical city gives us inspiration and boosts our creativity. To us, the apartment is a safe, relaxing and comfortable haven and we are happy to share it with others who would like to get to know Venice better, who is looking for the perfect place to relax or work - or both.

​

Even though we know the city very well, we still discover new places and hidden gems. We are more than happy to share this knowledge with our guests.
