Find this elegant apartment directly on the famous Grand Canal, with gorgeous views of the atmospheric scenes from every window. Embrace the magic of this famous city from your ideally positioned base, spending lazy mornings watching the gondolas go by from your balcony, savouring a freshly brewed coffee. 

It's not just the canal view that makes this home special. Stepping inside you’ll find a super-sleek, contemporary apartment adopting a modern preference for minimalism. You might even be tempted by the well-equipped kitchen, even though there are so many fantastic restaurants around. The clean, polished finishes are wonderfully chic, while the bedrooms are comfortable and warm. 

Exploring Venice couldn’t be easier from here. Being on the Grand Canal, you have cultural and historical sights in every direction. Take a few steps to the Rialto Bridge and simply take time to soak in the romance of the city, before exploring the museums and galleries. And Saint Mark’s Square is just a ten-minute walk away, where you can marvel at the 9th-century basilica.

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.

This apartment can be found in the chic and central San Marco area of Venice. The city’s main attractions, including the Rialto Bridge, Grand Canal, and St Mark’s Square, are within easy walking distance. We recommend resting your feet by seeing the sights from the water though – you’re in Venice after all. Rialto and Sant’Angelo vaporetto stops are nearby, so you can zip around the canals with ease. The home itself is traditional and fairly grand – you can look forward to Murano chandeliers and terrazzo flooring. With a building this old, you won’t find a lift, so it’s best to pack light. 

The Venetian Oasis

Private Entrance

Who wouldn't want to stay in a 13th-century palace overlooking the iconic Grand Canal, pulling up to the front door in a private water taxi? You'll feel history underfoot in the second bedroom, where a glass panel on the floor reveals a medieval well. We don't think you'll mind this home's topsy-turvy layout, where elegant living areas await upstairs under beamed ceilings. See how the San Polo sestiere puts the Rialto Market, plus charming bars and restaurants, within easy reach.

Rooftop Terrace

In a grand Venetian palazzo, this amazing home is not the kind of place that you come across every day. Relax with a glass of Prosecco on the altana, a typical Venetian rooftop terrace – we love the breathtaking 360-degree views of the city.

Inside, with its ornate furniture, beautiful paintings and baroque atmosphere, you can imagine hosting a masquerade within its walls. It encapsulates the beauty and richness of this once-mighty empire. This home has probably one of the comfiest sofas – it's made of down and feather, so it's very soft, and you'll sink right into it – we felt like Lord Byron lounging here.

The location is as splendid as this apartment – historic Piazza San Marco and Accademia Bridge are just over a five-minute stroll. Opera lovers will be over the moon to learn that Teatro La Fenice is a mere three-minute saunter. Your lovely hosts can arrange cultural guides and boat excursions to ensure you get the most out of your time in this stunning city.


Masque Ball

Boasting all the splendour and elegance you'd expect from a historic Venetian home, this apartment is tailor-made for spending blissful breaks in between busy days exploring this vibrant and memorable city. Ornate panelled walls, high ceilings, sparkling chandeliers and antique furniture all add to the exquisite classical style, with luxurious little touches such as a grand piano and home library that give the home a stately vibe. You can enjoy some gorgeous views over the canal through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Situated in the San Polo district, this apartment is just a three-minute stroll from the iconic Rialto Bridge. You'll also find the Rialto Market here, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute walk away. Need a break after all that sightseeing? There's a private terrace back home for enjoying a glass of Prosecco after a busy day. Inside, the kitchen is on the small side – there's no oven, but there's a hob and microwave. Also, at full capacity, two people will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. All in all, though, this is a decent base for exploring Venice.

Venetian Flower

This canalside apartment takes up the entire top floor of a 16th-century Gothic palazzo. It’s an elegant space with chandeliers and antique furniture, but it’s also a comfortable home-from-home. The location is undeniably the star of the show, just a short stroll from the Rialto Bridge and the crowds of St Mark’s Square, and boasting views over the Rio di San Luca canal. When you want to explore more of the city, it’s a quick walk to the Rialto and Sant’Angelo vaporetto stops. 

The Venetian Palace

Find this chic apartment in the heart of Venice, just steps away from Rialto Bridge. It’s an ideal base for those looking to explore this beautiful city with ease, walking hand-in-hand along the famous canals. You can get to the bank of the Grand Canal in no time. 

After some time soaking in the scenes and taking a few snaps, walk the six minutes to Piazza San Marco and let yourself be inspired by the pre-renaissance architecture and romantic energy of the place. And on your way home, stop by Rialto Market to pick up some fresh produce to whip up a snack and try out some of the unusual yet wonderful fruits.

Stepping inside after a long day will feel like coming home. The cosmopolitan style has a big-city feel to it, while the Venetian floorings and comforting furniture bring back a sense of warmth. Sink into the cosy sofa and tuck into a snack while decompressing in front of the smart TV, before getting ready to go out for dinner. 

Venetian Bliss

Desk

This lovely flat situated in beautiful Venice awaits you for a comfortable getaway to the city. This Venetian building holds charming decor with subtle antique-styled touches, as well as a view of the famous Basilica dei Frari and the canal. Enjoy a cup of coffee as you watch the gondolas pass by below, allowing you to simply observe the locale as you unwind or tuck into a hearty homecooked meal at the dining table by the large window. 

If you're fancying a light bite, the breakfast bar is a great spot to eat with your loved ones with a glass of wine. Snuggle up on the sofa to watch a movie on TV or put your feet up as you delve into a brand new book – the window in the living space gives ample natural daylight.

Head out for a short walk to get closer to the beautiful Basilica dei Frari, followed by an afternoon wandering the charming streets of Venice. You'll find plenty of relaxing cafes that serve up tasty baked goods, washed down with freshly brewed coffee, as well as delicious restaurants and sumptuous bars. 

Chocolate Pastel

If location is at the top of your list when searching for places to stay in Venice, then look no further than this apartment, footsteps from the Grand Canal and just a seven-minute walk from the iconic St Mark’s Square. Although the interiors are basic (and the kitchen and bathroom could do with a refresh), the place has everything you need to feel right at home. Your host even provides a pre-arrival grocery delivery service, so you can drop your bags and get stuck into some sightseeing as soon as you arrive.

Nice to haves

From the moment you arrive at this decadent palazzo, perched in one of the finest locations in the city along the Grand Canal, you feel like Venetian royalty. Taking you back to the era of masquerade balls, the baroque-style living room has nothing to hide behind, with bespoke furnishings, ornate rugs, and a dazzling crystal chandelier – to stay here is to move into a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. The sunshine peeks in through stunning Murano glass encased in gothic archway windows, bathing the living space in natural light. Each room is filled with magnificent features – think fresco ceilings, regal portraits and opulent touches. We particularly love the communal courtyard that shows off the Venician architecture with endless charm. Since Piazza San Marco is only an eighteen-minute walk away, you’re surrounded by the delights of Venice. Visit the historic St. Mark’s Basilica, amble around the Palazzo Ducale, climb the Campanile bell tower, or take a glamorous gondola ride through the entire city – all reachable in less than a twenty minute's walk. Retreat to your eloquent palace, relaxing on the sun-dappled balcony, sipping a spritz Veneziano as the vaporettos cruise down the canal. 

The Venetian Defence

Smart TV

Private Washing Machine

In a gorgeous old palace, this apartment in the heart of Venice is all opulence and splendour. The classic Venetian building was built by the Longhena architecture school in the 17th century and the spiral staircases and columned hallways feel like they’ve been frozen in time. Only in Venice do you get a building that boasts its own, private water door, should you wish to arrive by gondola.

The apartment itself is all frescoed ceilings and shining marble floors. Hand-painted dressers and antique furniture matches the historic surroundings and high ceilings add a sense of opulence. In the master bedroom, a plush tufted headboard feels palatial beneath a painted medieval motif on the wall and the circular fresco on the ceilings could belong in a museum. 

In terms of location, you’re across the canal from Santa Lucia Train Station and within easy walking distance of Venice’s main sights. It’s a five-minute walk to Basilica S.Maria Gloriosa dei Frari where you can find the works of Titian inside and a further ten minutes takes you to Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal. Of course, you can always flag down a gondolier or grab a water taxi from the building’s water door. 

Venetian Palace

This understated yet elegant apartment with a contemporary finish enjoys a wonderful location just moments away from the Grand Canal itself and close to numerous shops, wine bars, and local eateries – making it a great choice for a family holiday, a friends' getaway, or a romantic escape. It offers great views of the canal, particularly from the bedroom, so you can look forward to waking up, opening up the windows, and taking in the vista as well as the atmosphere. The iconic St Mark’s Square is reachable in ten minutes on foot, while the Vaporetto stops within walking distance provide the opportunity to explore the rest of the city using traditional transport with ease.

Venetian Red

This handsome apartment in Venice is the perfect reflection of the city surrounding it. Elegant and traditional, just a short stroll away from many of the most famous attractions, it's a wonderful place to begin your break in the Floating City. 

Step inside, and you'll fall in love with the lavish collection of furniture, high ceilings, and rustic beams. The kitchen area, with its duck egg blue cabinets and wooden floors, is great for whipping up some pasta and salad to enjoy with a glass of Chianti. And, when it's time for bed, the luxurious beds complete with intricate gilded headboards are waiting for you – you're guaranteed a fabulous night's sleep here. 

The Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, one of the most remarkable churches in all of Venice, is only a five-minute walk away. Cross the Grand Canal, and you will find a selection of wonderful galleries, including the Palazzo Malipiero and the Museo Fortuny. And, if you want to explore the city by boat, you can hop on the Vaporetto – the San Silvestro stop is a three-minute walk away. 

Venetian Mask

Take in the glimpses of the 14th-century Frari church and the local square from this home’s windows – great for watching the world go by. The accommodation is on the first and second floors, which is great as it maximises those vistas. We should also mention that the third bedroom has a single day bed, and the room is quite compact. Otherwise, this home is perfect for a family or group of friends looking to explore Venice. Location-wise, you’re a short stroll from the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Grand Canal is within walking distance as well.

Self Check-in / Check-out

On the top floor of a 16th-century palace right on the Grand Canal, this one-of-a-kind apartment enjoys bespoke furnishings from a range of designers, including the owner. While not the best option for families with young children due to the vintage and delicate furniture, it's a great choice for couples or solo travellers. The central location is the icing on the cake – the views over Santa Maria dei Frari are lovely. The train station is a short walk away and you're right next to a water taxi stop. Plus, there are bars and restaurants nearby.

The Venetian Flower

With a lovely central location in the Venetian neighbourhood of San Polo, this charming apartment which is flooded with natural light boasts a rooftop terrace with panoramic views over this beautiful, historic city. We love the simple, elegant interiors – particularly how they flow into one another to create a laid-back and sociable environment – and can just imagine spending a leisurely morning wafting from the well-equipped kitchen out to the terrace to soak up the sun with a cup of coffee and a book in hand. Step outside and you will find yourself right by the iconic Grand Canal and the lively San Marco district, which is home to a bevy of bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops to choose from.

Notes of Freesia

Garden

This traditional apartment sits peacefully in the historic streets of Santa Croce, providing a refreshingly simple space to relax and savour the timeless pleasures of Venetian living. 

From quiet mornings sipping coffee in the private courtyard to afternoon naps in the air-conditioned bedroom and aperitifs shared as the sunsets, this is the kind of space that perfectly adapts to suit the mood of the moment. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find it’s just a short stroll to Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio, while the majestic Rialto Bridge is a ten-minute walk away. 

Embrace beautiful views, leisurely canal side walks, gondola rides and the vibrant buzz of local bars and restaurants. And for those evenings when you feel like dining at home, make a stop at the local supermarket and create your own Italian-inspired feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Both the courtyard and the dining room provide the perfect spot for intimate candlelit meals. 

Rose of the Water

Relish the sweet scent of wisteria in the spring or enjoy the views over to the bell tower of the church of San Giacomo dell'Orio any time of year when you stay at this elegant apartment in Venice. Decorated in a classical Venetian style, it's the perfect bolt hole for a family, friends or business professionals.

Rialto Bridge is just over 800 metres away, while Piazza San Marco is just over 1 kilometre from this home. The Basilica S.Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is around five minutes on foot and contains many artworks from the Venetian Renaissance period, including Giovanni Bellini's "Madonna and Child with Saints" and the "Pesaro Madonna" by Titian. You'll also find various restaurants and cafes on your doorstep here.



Sweet Scented Wisteria

This charming apartment sits on the banks of one of Venice’s picturesque canals, with a view of the turquoise waterways across to the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari – an ancient church with the works of Titian inside. As well as postcard-perfect canal views from inside this apartment, the major sights of Venice are an easy walk away with Piazza San Marco a fifteen-minute stroll and the Rialto Bridge ten minutes on foot.

After a day exploring the busy streets and waterways of Venice, this apartment is the perfect spot to retire to. The soothing blues, greys and teals are reminiscent of the canal system just outside your window and wooden floors add a touch of class. The full kitchen has everything you need if you’re not too busy exploring the endless restaurants on your doorstep and breakfasting on the plush velvet chairs is a delight with the windows thrown open and the sounds of the gondoliers drifting in. 

Accordion Song

Incredible canal views and a sophisticated interior combine in this seventeenth-century building to create a luxury pad you'll relish returning to. We love the exposed brickwork and wooden beams above, and the lighting helps create a romantic atmosphere. The bed can also be split in two, making it perfect for two friends looking to explore too. You can grab fresh ingredients at the nearby Rialto Market to impress your companion in the large kitchen, and there is an array of restaurants practically at your doorstep.

As Boats Go By

There's a lot to love about this dreamy apartment in the heart of Venice. With plenty of character, an excellent location, and a wonderful outdoor space, it's the perfect place to unwind between your adventures in the Floating City. 

The flat is part of a building dating back to the 16th century, and a lot of its historic charm remains. The antique furniture and wooden beams will make you feel right at home, and the serene bedrooms will help you have a great night's sleep. However, the best bit has to be the garden – a space like this is such a treat in the city centre, This leafy sanctuary is the perfect place to sip your morning espresso or relax with a glass of prosecco at the end of a busy day exploring.

From here, you can walk to the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in around five minutes – it's one of Venice's most renowned churches. You can also hop on a water bus at the nearby vaporetto stop, San Toma, to see the city from the canals. And, you can walk over to the famous St Mark's Square and the neighbouring Doge's Palace in around twenty-five minutes. 

Giardino Nascosto

Courtyard

This apartment is exactly what you want for a Venetian getaway. Step into the sixteenth century building, with its faded red brick walls and dark wooden beams lining the ceiling, and you’ll feel transported to another era. The apartment has been restored in traditional Venetian style, with hand painted antique furniture, ornate tiled floors, and elegant pillared archways that allow one room to flow to the next. Outside there is a beautiful jasmine scented garden surrounded by ancient walls, part of which is private and just for you. 

Santa Croce is a central neighbourhood that still retains an authentically Venetian feel. It is not swarmed by tourists, but the top sites are still easily reachable. Stroll fifteen minutes to the Rialto Bridge, or peruse the international masterworks housed in the Baroque marble palace of the Ca' Pesaro gallery. You are a few minutes’ walk from the Riva de Biasio vaporetto stop, which takes you down the Grand Canal. After a day of exploring the city, head for wine and cicchetti at an ancient Venetian tavern on the waterfront, and then come home and relax with a book in the serenity of your garden, as the sun sets over the floating city.

Jasmine Garden

Step-Free Access

On the border between Santa Croce and San Polo, this stylish apartment offers the ultimate Venice experience. Every window offers views of the canal, and the home can be easily reached via water taxi, making it a convenient option for exploring the city. The interiors are colourful and contemporary, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen if you prefer to eat at home. The highlight here, however, is the little wooden terrace. Directly on the water, it’s a great spot for a couple to spend their evenings. 

The Colourful Canal

Ideally located in Venice’s Santa Croce neighbourhood, this contemporary gem is within easy walking distance of the city’s historic hotspots, cultural institutions and canals. You’ll need to climb some stairs to reach this first-floor apartment, but once inside you’ll be welcomed in by sleek designs and original beams. The space is practical, with plenty of room for a couple or solo traveller. Though it could be a little brighter, we love the modern kitchen for whipping up negronis and pasta at home. That said, you’ll have your pick of Venice’s authentic eateries on your doorstep.

Venetian Modernism

Mosquito Net

Just a ten-minute walk from Rialto Bridge, this apartment is a great base for those looking to discover the delights of Venice. From here, days can be spent strolling the cobbled streets and ticking off all the major sights. You can explore on foot or take a gondola ride through the city, plus there’s an abundance of restaurants and bars right on the doorstep. The home lacks a proper living area, so we recommend it for those who want to drop off their bags and get out exploring right away. It's also worth noting that the double sofa bed sleeps up to two guests, although space is limited so we suggest a maximum of three guests.

The Venice View

Satellite / Cable TV

Venice is on your doorstep in this top-floor hideaway, perched above the canal in a sixteenth‑century Gothic palazzo. Large arched windows frame gondolas drifting by, while the high ceilings and terrazzo floors set the stage for your Venetian adventure. There’s space to gather and feast in light-filled rooms that feel both grand and welcoming. Step outside and you’re moments from the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Square, and a maze of trattorias and boutiques. The style won’t be for everyone, but if you love colour, character, and a little theatrical flair, this is your stage. The setting and views are pure magic.

Fireplace

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

Located in a historic building in the heart of Cannaregio, this apartment is just steps from the Church of Santa Maria della Maddalena.

This home’s building also features convenient private water access from the Rio dei Servi, ideal for those arriving by boat or wishing to explore Venice's iconic waterways. The apartment itself is elegant and has character features which blend seamlessly with the luxurious finishes. This home has everything you need for a comfortable stay in this beautiful city.

The Canal Lounge

Safe

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

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

Fenced Property

This stylish Venetian apartment offers a charming canal view and a private outside space. As if that wasn't enough, it's been recently renovated so you've got high-end touches and all the modern comforts you could wish for from the moment you arrive. In fact, contemporary style sits side by side with original features in this charming pad. 

Just a short walk from the lively Campo Santa Margherita and the Zattere, with its stunning views of the beautiful architecture and iconic canals. Surrounded by restaurants and cafes, while many of the city's most celebrated attractions are easily reachable on foot, including the Gallerie dell'Accademia, you really couldn't be better placed. There are romantic gondola rides to enjoy, and hidden wine bars to discover. 

When you return home, you can make the most of the good weather by gathering your group outside. The apartment is tucked away within a friendly residential neighbourhood, where you can sit out and enjoy dinner and drinks alfresco on your covered terrace, savouring the balmy summer evenings. 

My Venetian Terrace

For a quintessential Venice experience, look no further than this recently renovated waterside apartment. Each morning, step out of bed and straight onto one of two Juliet balconies and take in spectacular views over Canale Dei Greci. We can't think of many more indulgent ways to bookend each day than with a bath in the freestanding tub while looking out over the water. 

It's conveniently located in Castello – the largest of Venice's six sestiere – you'll find upmarket boutiques, fantastic restaurants and atmospheric cafes lining its vibrant streets. The iconic St Mark's square is just a short stroll away, with the historic Rialto Bridge lying just beyond. Wander in the opposite direction and you'll eventually encounter the beautiful Biennale Gardens on the easternmost point of the island. Access to the city's other islands couldn't be easier, thanks to your proximity to the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop.

The Lion's Share

Reached by a private bridge, this historic home has a wonderful Venetian setting. It’s just a twelve-minute walk from Piazza San Marco and nine minutes from the Rialto Bridge. A few vaporetto stops are also within walking distance, so reaching Marco Polo airport and the islands of Murano, Burano, Torcello, and the Lido is easy. Inside this apartment, you can watch gondolas passing on the canal or take in the vistas over the terracotta rooftops. The decor is traditional, and there’s a lived-in vibe, so this home may not suit minimalists. But if you need to work from home, you’ll be glad to know there are a couple of desks here.



A Canal of Dreams

If you're after canal views, this apartment more than delivers. Perch on the chair in the picture window, a glass of wine in hand, and watch the gondolas glide right past – sounds like pure bliss. The scenery is certainly a showstopper, but the rest of the apartment is just as charming. We love the wooden beams and terrazzo Veneziano tiles. And, of course, the location speaks for itself. The famous San Marco Square is a fifteen-minute stroll away, while Cannaregio's canalside eateries are also within easy reach.

Gliding Gondolas

Paid Parking On Street

Access to Beach

With its windows providing stunning low views of the nearby canals, this home is an incredibly immersive Venetian experience. We adore the fact you can enjoy your morning coffee while the gondolas glide past, so close they are practically in the living room. Design lovers will swoon over the carefully curated interior design, full of modernist pieces from top Italian brands. Plus, it also features some old-school charm – a bit of exposed brick here, wooden beams there, and even a frescoed ceiling in the kitchen. Also, its central location in Castello means it's just a stroll to the marvellous square Campo San Giovanni e Paolo and the church of San Zanipolo. 

Where the Canals Flow

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.
