Nice to haves

If you’ve always wondered what it must have been like to live in Venice as one of the finest families under the rule of the Doge, this apartment is the holiday home for you. It sits in Fondamenta San Giacomo in Guidecca and boasts incredible panoramic views of Venice, with an interior that’s a marvel. 

You’ll find ceiling frescoes and tapestries, in addition to a stunning Murano chandelier in the living room. Every nook and cranny has a curio to admire, or artwork to behold. From the glass writing desk, you can see the lagoon below – just imagine how many stories this home has inspired over the years. 

The view takes in Canal della Guidecca, San Marco and over to the Doge’s Palace and beyond, from the charmed position of the authentically Venetian neighbourhood of Guidecca. You won’t be overrun by tourist groups – it’s a local’s area, with food shops and top-notch restaurants on your doorstep. 

When you’re ready to see the sights, you need only hop onto a Vaporetto from the stop 30m from the apartment. Mere moments later you’ll be sipping coffee in Piazza San Marco, or strolling over the Academia Bridge to take in that postcard-worthy view. Wander the narrow streets with a gelato while you ponder where to dine, or shop for jewellery on the Rialto Bridge. You can meander back to the apartment in less than thirty minutes, ready to breathe in the views again.

Colourful and quirky, this apartment offers an authentic escape to Venice. It’s in the Giudecca district, away from the tourist crowds, but within easy reach of all the attractions. A waterbus stop is just 50 metres away, ready to whisk you to San Marco Square in five minutes. Three windows in the living room look out onto the bell tower of San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, and the canal. The apartment is oh-so-cool and has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. At full occupancy, three guests will share bedroom one, with one guest on a sofa bed – we think this is most suitable for a child. There are cafes and restaurants on your doorstep, but you can cook in the contemporary kitchen if you fancy it.

We love the vistas of the Giudecca Canal, Giudecca Island, and the Redentore Church from this home’s windows. Unusual for Venice, there’s a good-sized shared garden to enjoy too. Lovers of design classics will be glad to know there are a few gems here such as the Saarinen Tulip dining table and Murano glass chandeliers. The location is great too – it’s only a two-minute stroll to the Basilica della Salute and the Guggenheim Collection, while Accademia Bridge, one of only four bridges to span the Grand Canal, is five minutes on foot.

Get a taste of authentic Venice at this minimalist apartment on laidback Giudecca. St Marks Square is a ten-minute water taxi ride away and some of the city’s most beautiful (and least-visited) churches are nearby in the Chiesa di Santa Maria and San Giorgio Maggiore. Inside the home, the furnishing is functional but comfortable, with a sofa bed if you’re travelling with an extra guest. Our favourite part? The views overlooking the canal – especially at dusk.

On the Giudecca

Balcony

Escape the crowds in Venice and stay in your own private museum. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a buzzing central neighbourhood only minutes from Piazza San Marco, this quiet apartment boasts views from a rooftop terrace facing an aqua canal. Every piece of furniture in this opulent apartment is a work of art, with beautiful antique mirrors, marble floors, and dressers. This includes the magnificent 16th-century four-poster beds in each bedroom, straight from your host’s family castle in Tuscany. Settle in and live like historical royalty – except with the added luxury of modern comforts. When you return home from a day of wandering Venice's winding streets, enjoy a coffee out on the roof terrace and admire the city's famous waterways from above – although the steps are steep, particularly up to the roof, the view is well worth it.

In a city with so many incredible accommodation options, you'll know that you made the right choice from the moment you lay your eyes on the jaw-dropping 360-degree views from the rooftop. With Marco Polo Airport and the Dolomites to the North and every tower and rooftop in Venice immediately surrounding you – it's even better than the photos. We'd encourage at least one early morning wake-up call to take in the changing colours as the sun rises, while a sunset Prosecco goes down a treat at the end of a long day of exploring. Once you've disembarked the water taxi and climbed the stairs to the front door, you'll be greeted by a seamless mix of original features and contemporary design. The interior offers an irresistible blend of exposed beams, ornate antique furniture and intricate wood mosaic flooring alongside a Scandinavian-inspired kitchen and modern artwork. The standout feature is, of course, the two outdoor terraces and accompanying views. There's ample outdoor seating so that you can pick a different spot for each meal. Then, having viewed the city from above, it's time to step out on the streets. You're conveniently close to some of Venice's headline highlights – St. Mark's Basilica and adjoining piazza are just a three-minute walk. At the same time, you're only 275m from Rialto Bridge, plus there's a supermarket and plenty of great restaurants and shops right on your doorstep.


Where Birds Fly

Lift Access

We love the vistas of Venice from this apartment. You can see a large number of sights without leaving home – how amazing is that? From the Bacino San Marco and the Lido, to San Servolo, and San Lazzaro degli Armeni, it's all there waiting to be admired. But that's not all – you can also see San Giorgio, the Punta Della Dogana and the beginning of the Grand Canal and more. We can imagine experiencing the Redentore Festival and New Year's Eve here, watching the wonderful show of boats and fireworks on the lagoon. 

This place is great for entertaining – there are two large sofas to accommodate everyone easily in the living room. The space has traditional terrazzo floors and prints depicting Venetian scenery. Or head to the library and read a book if you want some peace and quiet.

This apartment's location is excellent as well. St Mark's Square is just 500 metres away, so why not explore this iconic sight and then stop off for a coffee and some cake at one of its cafes? There's a water taxi stop 100 metres away, too, for when you want to discover more of this city's gems.


Bellini Vistas

Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay.  


Blue Velvet Dreams

Patio / Terrace

Only moments away from Piazza San Marco and Rialto Bridge, this Venetian home connects you to the beautiful city of Venice, and you’ll soon notice the many wonders right on your doorstep. Stroll through the community garden, Giardini Reali, or grab a takeaway coffee before embarking on a grand tour of the most beautiful churches – including Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Formosa, Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, and San Francesco della Vigna.

Visit the museums and get a taste of Venice at the local restaurants before returning home for well-deserved rest. We recommend sprawling out on the sofa to read or work on a puzzle around the dining table – though our absolute favourite pastime would be socialising on the altana, a typical Venetian wooden terrace. 

Enjoy drinks as you admire the skyline at sunset and stay there long after the stars have lit up the night sky.

Santa Emilia

This lovely apartment can be found in a quiet part of Venice, tucked away from the crowds of tourists in an authentic neighbourhood. You’ll get to live as Venetians do – but you’re also within a short stroll of all the major sights so you really get the best of both worlds.

Saint Mark’s Square is a thirteen-minute walk from the apartment, where you can admire the architecture as you sip coffee. A leisurely twenty-five-minute wander will take you to Ponte dell’Accademia, which boasts one of the most spectacular views of the Grand Canal. There are plenty of charming osterias and bars close to home, so you’re never far from your next great meal or glass of wine. 

The apartment is calm and quiet, with antique features like the wood-beamed ceilings to remind you of the history of the building, and the city beyond the windows. Antique styling adds to the refined feel of the home – you’ll live like the grand old families of Venice used to.

Amidst the historic streets of Venice, this apartment makes it easy to explore the iconic sights of the floating city. It’s a short stroll to galleries, Basilicas and local restaurants. Plus, you’ll find easy access to the canals for boat trips and your host is on hand to help organise a range of extras – including guided tours and airport transfers. Back at home, you’ll have access to a private terrace for sunset drinks. Inside, the open-plan living room is perfectly suited to couples and solo travellers, while the bedroom makes it easy to switch off after a day of exploring. 

Venetian Beauty

Trash Compactor

Mosquito Net

For those seeking a central base in Venice, this apartment is a contemporary and chic option. It's set up like a studio, though Crittall-style doors seamlessly separate the bedroom from the living area. There's a small kitchen, but with eateries nearby, we bet you'll prefer to dine out. We're fond of the neutral colour scheme, too, but most of all, we're big fans of the location. You'll be a fifteen-minute walk from San Marco Square, right in the heart of the city.

Ivory Whisper

Sound System

Surrounded by the vintage boutiques, independent shops and low-key eateries of Vencine’s Dorsoduro district, this apartment offers a relaxing retreat in the heart of Venice. Spread over three levels, there’s plenty of space here, and the plush furnishings give the place a homely feel. we love the rooftop terrace, which affords views over the city’s architectural masterpieces. If you’re in town for work or just need to keep on top of emails, the cosy office will no doubt come in handy. The top floor features a luxurious suite, ideal for a couple or small family who need their own space – the sofa turns into a sofa bed for a little one who needs to sleep close to their parents.

Venetian Garden

Conveniently located just behind St Mark’s Square, this apartment is a superb choice for holidays in Venice. It’s sleek and modern, with gold accents and a pretty feature wall in the bedroom. An elegant home, it’s ideal for couples or friends travelling together. 

Whip up snacks in the kitchen and tuck in around the glass dining table, before heading out to explore the city. There are two Vaporetto stops close by, Rialto and San Zaccaria, so you can easily see the sights that are slightly further afield. You need only walk for five minutes to reach the iconic Rialto Bridge and Market. This is an excellent base, whether you plan on spending your time soaking up the art and culture of the city, or prefer to go from meal to meal. 


Venetian Gold

Nestled in the storied quarter of San Marco, this apartment is packed with Venetian grandeur. Artwork, gold accents, and antiques all combine together to create a unique hideaway. There's plenty of room for a small group between the lounge, dining room, and two traditional bedrooms. It won't suit those looking for modern touches (though there are plenty of contemporary comforts inside), but it suits the historic surroundings perfectly. Speaking of setting, you'll be in the heart of Venice here. Landmarks like the famous Accademia Bridge and Piazza San Marco are within easy reach – not to mention an array of eateries and shops.

Gold Touch

Valet Parking

You've struck gold with this one. Epitomising Venetian grandeur in every crevice and, in the same breath, delivering a masterclass in colour theory, it's no surprise that this beautifully-designed home has caught the discerning eye of Condé Nast Traveller. It's delightfully peaceful, tucked away in a piazza's side street yet right at the heart of the historic centre, just a ten-minute stroll from St Mark's Square.

The interior exudes elegance, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary comfort. Majestic timber beams cling to lofty ceilings while large windows usher in floods of sunlight. We love the living space, a sanctuary of serenity cloaked in a radiant emerald hue and adorned with parquet flooring, lavish textiles and opulent decor. A solid wood doorway leads to the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with swish appliances and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted at the dining table, sipping coffee and tucking into pastries before a day of adventure.

Emerald Masquerade

Early / Late Check-Out Available

This unique and wonderfully characterful apartment is filled with traditional Venetian charm and a certain effortless style, whilst also offering a range of handy amenities and all the mod-cons you could need for a memorable, comfortable stay in this iconic, inimitable city. We especially love the shining tile floors and rustic exposed wooden beams that give this home a sense of history and place. On the other hand, the sleek modern kitchen and high-spec bathrooms bring the space right into the 21st century. Warm, cosy, and undeniably beautiful, we think this home is a real find – and the perfect starting point for your own Venetian voyage. 

Within easy reach of this typically Venetian Palazzo, you will find yourself at the famous St. Mark's Square, as well as amongst the fantastic restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping opportunities that bring the city to life. Take a walk over the historic Rialto Bridge, or hop aboard a Vaporetto that will take you along the winding canals that make Venice one of the most special places on earth. 

San Marco Style

Give loft-style living a whirl at this high-style Venice apartment set in the characterful design district. Perched next to the leafy gardens of the Biennal and just a twenty-minute passeggiata along the Riva degli Schiavoni to St. Mark's Square, the location is spot on. And when it's time to say adieu, getting to the airport is a breeze, with the waterbus just a two-minute stroll from your door.

Back home, while the old bones of this characterful home remain with its lofty roof gables and exposed stonework, everywhere else has been expertly reimagined to create a sleek city bolthole. We're into the muted monochrome palette and oh-so-Italian terrazzo floors of the main bedroom suite with a dressing room. And tucked away in the eaves up a flight of stairs, there are two cosy single-bedroom nooks – perfect for teenagers or friends sharing. While back downstairs in the living space, there's everything you could need to rustle up a light bite to eat in the smart, newly-refurbished kitchen. Though with charming tavernas and wine bars just a hop, skip, and a jump away, we wouldn't blame you for eating out each night instead.

Experience the best of the Floating City from this gorgeous canalside Cannaregio apartment. Impeccably decorated in typically Venetian style, expect stunning period features, elegant furnishings and the occasional antique piece within its 16th-century walls.

In addition to the calming forest green colour scheme and tall windows that invite plenty of natural light in, we particularly loved the ingenious secret door leading to the en suite bathroom.

Your third-floor vantage point offers views over a buzzing piazza and imposing clock tower to one side and an elevated vantage point over a canal to the other. Venice is unusual in that there's no car traffic here. Instead, you can open up the windows and take in the many traditional sounds of the city, including church bells, bustling street markets, and gondoliers singing as they cruise by.

The location is ideal – not even five minutes from Rialto bridge, so you won't have to lug your bags too far, while the likes of St Mark's Square and the characterful streets of the Jewish Quarter are approximately ten minutes on foot.

When you're not out exploring, your host has provided some stunning coffee table books so you can appreciate the city through a photographer's lens and perhaps pick up a few pointers to elevate your usual holiday snaps.

This Glass World

Rooftop Terrace

In a salmon-pink old palazzo, this lovely home is a real find. Relax with a glass of Prosecco on the southwest-facing altana, a typical Venetian rooftop terrace, and take in the views over the Venice’s rooftops.
Inside, we love the high-vaulted, loft-style living space with its sun-bleached eau de nil and parched papyrus hues. Take a seat on the L-shaped sofa and plan your Venice itinerary.

This home is in genteel San Samuele, dotted with galleries and antique shops. Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and Campo Santo Stefano are both a three-minute stroll. St. Mark’s Square is nine minutes on foot, while Palazzo Mocenigo on the Grand Canal, once the Venetian bolthole of romantic poet and literary figure Lord Byron, is fifteen minutes. Or let your host arrange a tour around the lagoon in a skippered ‘bragozzetto’ boat. 


Ode On Venice

This Venetian home has a gem of a location in the Arsenal district of Venice, which houses the Naval History Museum. It’s just a five-minute walk to the Biennale Gardens, an area created by Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century, while St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge are just fifteen minutes on foot. If you prefer to use the water bus, there’s a Vaporetto stop located a few steps away from the apartment, so you can easily reach Piazzale Roma or Murano Island.

Inside this abode, the warm tones from the wood beams contrast nicely with the whitewashed walls. There are three sofas, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax. If you don’t fancy eating out, whip up a risotto al nero di sepia in the modern kitchenette. Or simply get some rest on the comfy beds after a busy day exploring all that this beguiling city has to offer.

Watercolour Lagoon

Located inside a 15th-century palace, this luxurious apartment is quite literally fit for royalty. Experly restored, the interiors blend original gestures with chic Italian design for a cosy retreat that’s right on the canal. Easily accessed via water taxi, so you can easily spend your days seeing the sights of Cannaregio. French windows in the lounge open up onto the water, making for spectacular views and a sense of being immersed in your surroundings. This is a studio apartment, so the kitchen is on the smaller side, but the bedroom is on a mezzanine level with creates more space.

For somewhere between San Marco and the Rialto bridge, A Call for Calm is remarkably quiet. It’s far from the main thoroughfares, the narrow alleyways that nevertheless carry tens of thousands of tourists to and from St. Mark’s Square every day. It’s also, location aside, a lovely place to stay. The hefty beams stand out, but every part of the design works perfectly together, and while it can only hold three people, Mario looks after a couple of other places in the building, so larger groups can look at potential combinations.


A Call For Calm

This fabulous first-floor apartment in central Venice boasts a combination of authentic architectural features, and inimitable Italian interiors along with elements of modern design. Comprising an open plan kitchen, dining and living room – think chandeliers, wooden floors and beamed ceilings – as well as two beautiful bedrooms, this historic home is perfect for a couple of couples or small family seeking to explore this unique city, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’.  

You’ll love waking up in the majestic master bedroom and flinging open the wooden shutters for views of canal and canal boats before taking your morning coffee back to bed. Prepare firm family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen and dine together beside the open windows. As the light fades, draw the rich red curtains, light some candles and chill out on the gorgeous green easy chair in the atmospheric living room.  

If you fancy getting out and about, your home’s location on the Campo Santa Fosca in the charming Cannaregio district means you’re within walking distance of an embarrassment of cultural and architectural riches. Why not walk across the ravishing Rialto or wander about the magnificent Piazza San Marco? Alternatively, foodies will be delighted to find that the nearby Fondamenta della Misericordia and Riva del Ormesini offer an excellent choice of taverns and wine bars come lunch, dinner or digestif time.


Oak & Ruby

Tucked in the romantic streets of central Venice, this penthouse apartment opens its doors to the timeless magic of Italy’s floating city. From the private rooftop terrace (with views across the bell tower of San Marco) to the original features, personal touches and natural lighting, every detail has been considered to enrich your stay with the warmth and beauty of Italian living. 

Feel serenaded by the majestic scenery whilst relaxing on the ‘Altana’ (traditional Venetian roof terrace), enjoy aperitifs as the sunsets and heartwarming gatherings around the perfectly positioned dining table. However you spend your time here, it’s the kind of space that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired to explore. 

From here, it’s just a five-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square, while the Biennale Gardens and Rialto Bridge are also just a short stroll away. From gondola rides and leisurely canalside strolls to browsing galleries and dining in candlelit restaurants, this home makes it possible to enjoy it all from the heart of the city. 

Lion's Gate

Brimming with Venetian charm, this restored, high-beamed apartment is an idyllic place to call home during a trip to Venice. Located right in the heart of the city, moments from the Grand Canal, you can unwind sumptuously in between your cultural endeavours. 

Step inside, and you'll find a stunning, characterful space with traditional architecture and a contemporary design aesthetic. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prepare your favourite Italian specialities -  including a Bialetti moka pot for a superior caffeinated experience in the mornings. In the evenings, enjoy culinary feasts at the sleek dining table, accompanied by a cold glass of Lison and the hum of the city just outside your window. When it's time to unwind, climb the stunning suspended staircase up to your slice of calm and sink into the sheets ready to explore the city another day. 

It's easy to tick off your sightseeing list from here, as many of the city's most iconic attractions are close by. Walk to Domenico Rossi’s 11th-Century San Stae in just six minutes, before wandering to Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art – it's just two minutes from there. And, if you want to explore the city via water taxi, then hop on a boat at the San Stae stop - our favourite way to see Venice. 

High Beam

Step-Free Access

Hidden behind a medieval garden wall but right next to a Venetian promenade, this home is a secret retreat in the heart of the city. We particularly love the traditional Italian charm of the living room, which invites in plenty of natural light – although the kitchen is on the smaller side, we suggest dining out. Found in Venice's hip Dorsoduro district, there are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy reach here. However, with that courtyard, you might want to spend more time at home – we think it's a perfect spot for afternoon drinks after a morning exploring the nearby museums, galleries and churches. 

The Classic Flamingo

Located in majestic Venice, renowned for its winding canals and beautiful architecture, this sleek apartment welcomes you to experience the floating city in style. Recently designed, you’ll immediately notice the high-end touch that’s been given to this modern space – from the teal-coloured armchair to the marble flooring, chic chandeliers and pristine white colour palette. 

It's also wonderfully bright and open, thanks to the pretty Venetian windows and double-height ceilings. Cosy up in your dreamy night-themed bedroom up on the mezzanine level, or rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal in the state-of-the-art kitchen. But the biggest draw is, of course, having your private outside space to relax and drink Italian wine. Complete, with a covered dining table, you'll spend early evenings enjoying an aperitivo out here with friends and family.

While you could spend the entire day basking in the plush atmosphere of this bright pad, get out and explore the sights of Venice. Locally, you're surrounded by wine bars and taverns, while the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art and the famous Ghetto Ebraico are just a short walk from your door. 

Venetian Chic

Located just moments from the iconic La Fenice Opera House and five minutes on foot from San Marco Square, this is as central as Venice apartments get. Not that you’d know it – despite its location, guests rave about how quiet it is at night here. Well-suited for a small family or group of friends sharing, there’s a sofa bed in the lounge area to sleep an additional guest. The desk space tucked away in a nook off the bedroom is a bonus, too, for anyone planning to work remotely.

Murano Pearl

Those looking for a quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds will find this apartment near the Arsenal of Venice a comfortable base from which to explore the city. Though the decor is functional and the touristic art on the walls a little uninspiring, the two bedrooms are minimalist and uncluttered and the pair of bathrooms will come in handy for morning routines ahead of a busy day of sightseeing. Speaking of which, the Biennale Gardens are a five-minute walk away and a fifteen-minute stroll will bring you to St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge. Alternatively, hop on a water bus from the nearby vaporetto stop to explore the wider city, Piazzale Roma and Murano Island. 


Chiara

Simple and elegant, this apartment in beautiful Venice is just a five-minute walk from St Mark's Square, making it the perfect starting point from which to explore this floating city. Retire to a calming, canal-side pad, with Venetian-style wood beams and neutral tones, and kick back after a long day of exploring. Modern furnishings add an extra level of comfort, while the sleek kitchen has everything you need for rustling up breakfast, come morning. 

Of course, self-catering isn't on the cards, there's a sprinkling of cosy restaurants, wine bars and cafes right on your doorstep. You're within walking distance from many of the most celebrated landmarks and attractions, including the Biennale Gardens (ten minutes) and the stunning Rialto Bridge (twelve minutes). 

Over The Canal

Umbrellas

This elegant home is the ideal bolthole for those visiting Venice. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood – Campo Santo Stefano – close to every sight Venice has to offer, but away from the crowds. 

The apartment is a grand family home, with traditional touches like the wood-beamed ceilings. It’s on the fourth floor, and from the windows you can see a pretty skyscape of Venetian rooftops all the way to the Grand Canal. Even more amazingly for Venice, this building has an elevator so those four floors are no trouble at all. 

Take your morning coffee on the balcony, then head out to explore the city. The Vaporetto stop at Santa Maria del Giglio is five minutes from the apartment, so it’s easy to get out on the lagoon. The glorious views from Ponte dell’Accademia can be found just five minutes away, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute stroll. Rialto Bridge is nine minutes from the apartment – stroll across it with a gelato for a cheeky touristy moment. 

Calle XXII Marzo, an upmarket avenue of high-end boutiques, is just seven minutes from the apartment. Whether you’re flashing the cash or window shopping, it’s worth a wander. 

However you spend your time in Venice, you’ll be glad to be doing so here. This apartment is comfortable and bright, and in an unbeatable location. 


A Taste Of Venice

Now, this is a place where you can really spoil yourself and your family or friends. The private terrace right on the Grand Canal is stunning – admire the views of the Basilica della Salute, Punta della Dogana and San Giorgio Maggiore from both here and inside. You’d think that the outdoor space was the main highlight, but inside the interiors are something else too. It’s almost museum-like in parts with its lion statues and oil paintings. Add into the mix this former palazzo’s location (it’s a two-minute stroll from St. Mark's Square) and you have a very special home indeed.

Canaletto's Vistas

There's something rather grand about this apartment in the historic centre of Venice. The high ceilings, parquet flooring and tall windows combine together for a classy backdrop, against which the selection of contemporary furnishings and modern artwork really stand out. Add to that an industrial-style kitchen, a few large bedrooms and boldly coloured bathrooms, and you have an address that is as memorable as the city outside the front door. Through the windows, it's possible to see the spectacular dome of Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute that sits on the other side of the Grand Canal. Closer to home, there are designer boutiques running along the apartment's street, while the Teatro La Fenice opera house is only a two-minute walk away. 

The Sun Amidst Small Stars

If you’re looking for something a little quirky, you’ve found it. Overlooking the famous Canale dei Greci, this cosy apartment is right in the thick of Venice’s fascinating centre, and with the water bus stop just a five-minute walk away, the city is yours to explore. The sofa bed makes this home ideal for a small family or two couples travelling together, but the highlight here has to be the living area’s glass floor, exposing an ancient well below. 

What Lies Beneath

Fenced Property

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

Featured in the London Evening Standard’s Home and Property pages, this beautiful home in Venice’s Dorsoduro neighbourhood is an oasis of sun-dappled calm in the city. 
 
Boasting a glorious private garden, you’ll feel perfectly serene as you enjoy an aperitivo and an alfresco meal beneath the large vine-covered pergola or while catching some rays on the deck chairs on sunny afternoons. 
 
Inside, the decor is an elegant blend of Old World charm and rustic chic, with beamed ceilings in the cream-coloured living area and three classically-styled bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. We love the main bedroom’s luxurious tub and the rainfall showers in the other two bathrooms too. 
 
While you could easily spend all day in your swish pad, go out and explore the many sights around you. You’re a three-minute walk from the grand Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a four-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, while bustling St. Mark's Square is fifteen minutes away on foot and by water bus. With your host able to organise a plethora of fun and activities too – including wine tastings, cooking classes, city tours and skippered boat excursions to the Venetian Lagoon – you can be sure to experience Venice in style.
 


Vine Oasis

Well, it’s totally obvious why this home has made our collection – just look at the stunning views of the Grand Canal from this apartment’s private terrace. It’s the perfect spot for sunset drinks, for sure. There are vistas to enjoy from inside as well, from the large windows in the open-plan living space. If you can tear yourself away from the panorama, this place is in the heart of the city, so it’s close to all the main attractions, too.

The Little Venice

Housed in a former thermal power plant built in the 1930s, this home situated alongside one of Venice’s canals, has a private balcony perfect for outdoor entertaining. There’s an upside-down layout here with the living space above the bedrooms, so there are stairs to climb. You can live like a local in this apartment’s neighbourhood – it’s a five-minute stroll to Cannaregio, with its variety of restaurants and bars, as well as the Guglie area. When you want to explore further – to Venice Lido Beach, for example – the transport hub of Piazzale Roma is a seven-minute walk away.
