The walls are covered in green marmorino plaster and the furnishings are from the late 18th century; a Venetian mirror on the left wall reflects the view of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute.

In addition to the antique Venetian glass chandelier, a rare china service by the famous Venetian factory of Geminiano Cozzi stands ready amid painted landscapes on canvas.

The fabric-covered walls are hung with 17th-century paintings and the room is filled with a collection of Murano glass.

Here, in one of the upper main floor rooms, the ceiling is decorated with a fresco by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, and over the 18th-century fireplace is a large rococo mirror. The two large windows overlook the Grand Canal.
