Sitting just 100 metres from St. Mark's Square, this pocket-sized studio is all about the location. Teatro La Fenice and the Doge's Palace are easily reachable, and plenty of vaporetto stops nearby make travelling across the city a breeze. And though the space is petite and doesn’t boast much in the way of natural light, it’s a comfortable space to rest and regroup between sightseeing adventures, with a cleverly divided sleeping area and a sleek modern bathroom to get mornings off on the right foot. 


Marco Mio

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

Gaze out over the terracotta-tiled rooftops of San Marco towards the soaring bell tower and iconic domes of the basilica from your awe-inspiring top-floor terrace. Whether you're sipping that first coffee of the day as the city comes to life around you or luxuriating in a relaxing glass of red at sunset – it's an enviable spot to simply sit and take it all in. 

The apartment's main level is bright and open, a real rarity in Venice due to its tightly packed, narrow streets. It blends modern industrial-inspired design – think exposed steel beams and a metal-framed dining table – with Renaissance floral sofas to create a unique atmosphere. Elsewhere, the spiral steps will lead you to the second bedroom and the previously mentioned terrace.

There's no denying the beauty of St Mark's Square – however, its peak season crowds can be a little much. Thanks to the apartment's proximity, you're free to wander relatively undisturbed, either first thing or at the end of the day, and make the most of that golden light for outstanding Instagram-worthy photos. Elsewhere, Venice highlights such as Rialto Bridge are little more than a five-minute walk away, and the nearby vaporetto stop places the rest of the city within easy reach.

St Mark's Lookout

Why not stay in the 15th-century San Marco palazzo of the former Doge Francesco Molin? This historic apartment is now a modern base for busy travellers, promising handy water doors that let you get around Venice's canals like a local. Under vaulted ceilings, a studio bedroom awaits off the living area to sleep guests three and four on a sofa bed. No sunbathing or alfresco dining is allowed in the communal courtyard, but you'll be just a stone's throw from Teatro La Fenice and St. Mark's Square.

Gothic Waterside Retreat

Venice locations don’t get much better than this. Sitting just a one-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and a five-minute stroll from the Rialto Bridge, this home puts the city’s most iconic sights on your doorstep. And while you’ll have to contend with some noise from the street, neighbours and the nearby bell tower, those who don’t mind packing earplugs will find plenty of old-world charm in the home’s beamed ceilings and antique-style furnishings. The kitchenette is small, so we recommend sticking to the countless restaurants in your neighbourhood. Still, the bedroom has a stone Juliet balcony perfect for perching by with a glass of Italian red. 


Marco's Muse

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.

Venetian Watercolours

Inside a historic building near Piazza San Marco, this apartment combines modern living with original features seamlessly. The wooden ceiling beams and mix of vintage and contemporary furniture create a cosy space, but the best thing about this home lies just outside. Open the window and you can watch the gondolas sail along Venice's world-famous canals,  so location-wise it’s ideal if you’re keen on staying in a central spot. There’s a full kitchen here, giving you the option to cook with the amazing ingredients you can buy from the city's incredible array of shops.

The City Canals

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of San Marco, nestled amongst the maze of canals in the heart of Venice, this apartment makes the ideal centre from which to explore all the sightseeing spots in the city. It sits just seconds from the Teatro La Fenice, as well as the beautiful Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a must-see for architecture fanatics. The apartment sits inside a historic building, with classic Venetian-style interiors – and you'll even have one of the iconic canals right underneath your window.

Skyline Serenity

Straddling San Marco and Castello, this Venetian apartment is as central as it gets. You’re just a two-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge here – not that you’d know it thanks to your quiet surroundings – and the home even overlooks one of Venice’s iconic waterways, though you may be better off elsewhere if it’s views of the Grand Canal you’re after. There’s even a private roof terrace for enjoying an evening cocktail or two, and when it comes to sleeping arrangements, one of the double beds can be split into two singles for extra flexibility.

Canal Song

This charming apartment boasts a rare feature that sets it – quite literally – above the rest. Climb the stairs from the third bedroom and arrive on the roof terrace, from which you can devour a magnificent view of Venice’s skyline, including St Mark’s Campanile. Because of this terrace, this home isn’t suitable for children under the age of 6, but it’s ideal for families with older children, and for groups of friends. It’s in a peaceful setting in the refined parish of San Samuele, close to all of Venice’s main sights, including the Grand Canal. 

Venice, I Can Feel the Waves

Bordering Venice's San Marco and Castello sestiere, this magnificent 15th-century palazzo is absolutely breathtaking. Best known to Venetians and visiting tourists for its carved facade depicting an angel, an unexplained hole, and a rather convoluted story involving a monk, a monkey, and the devil – we're sure your hosts will be happy to explain in fuller detail.

The interior sees a harmonious marriage of state-of-the-art features – including a stainless steel chef's kitchen and contemporary furniture – combined with original features, such as stunning floor-to-ceiling lead windows, preserved fresco remains and exposed beams lining the soaring ceilings.

Wake up each morning and rouse yourself from the comfortable beds before opening the balcony doors to sip your coffee looking over the Rio della Canonica, known for the iconic 'Bridge of Sighs'. Plan your day over breakfast at the gleaming glass-topped dining table before heading out to explore this romantic Renaissance city. 

The magnificence of St Mark's Square and its iconic basilica is just a couple of minutes away on foot. Continue towards the Grand Canal and board an eastbound vaporetto heading for the beautiful Biennale Gardens. Alternatively, make your way in the opposite direction to take in the many beautiful palazzos and world-renowned museums lining the water as you glide through the city centre.

On the Backs of Angels

Just steps from the famous St Mark's Square, this stylish ground-floor apartment enjoys views of the nearby Rio de San Zulian canal. You won't get much natural light here and the front door opens onto a courtyard which is frequented by tourists, so there is the potential for outside noise. The kitchenette is well-equipped for light meals, and while the decor is simple, we think the location more than makes up for it. You'll find a myriad of Venice's fantastic restaurants and shops just minutes away on foot, and the Rialto water taxi stop is easy to get to if you want to explore this iconic city further.
