This studio apartment, with a front-row view of the Grand Canal, has got romantic Venetian retreat written all over it. Beneath the original wooden beams of this 16th-century palazzo reimagined into a collection of designer apartments, you’ll find a practical home that's bang-up-to-date. Think sound system, air conditioning, and a super-king-sized bed to peer onto the Grand Canal with your morning coffee. Set in the heart of the Saint Mark’s district, you’re a six-minute walk from the iconic square, and the Dorsoduro District is a short hop over the Accademia Bridge.

Home truths
Air conditioning is provided between the warmer months of May and September.
Taller guests may need to watch their head on some of the ceiling beams and the en-suite bathroom will feel compact for some.
The coffee table converts to a small dining table with breakfast bar seating. Fine for breakfasts and light bites, but it might not be the best option if you plan to eat in often. That said, you'll find some of the area's best restaurants close by.

Local guide
About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists. It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub. A lot of the luxury hotels are around here, so it’s not necessarily the place to find authentic, family-run restaurants or cafes. This area’s known for...

Explore the Gallerie dell'Accademia
This is the place to discover the city's most important art collection, spanning the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.
Enjoy the Peggy Guggenheim collection
This private collection houses works by key twentieth-century artists including Dalì, Picasso, and Mondrian. The palace it's held in is a marvel in itself.
Taste a Bellini at the Harry's Bar
Harry's Bar is the birthplace of the bellini, and it used to be one of Hemingway's top spots in Venice. As expected, the cocktail offering here is excellent.
Step Back in Time at Caffè Florian
This one is all about location – take a seat at the tables and admire the majesty of San Marco square while you listen to street performers.
See an opera at Teatro la Fenice
Teatro la Fenice's name translates to 'Phoenix Theatre', a name it earned by being burned down twice. Remember to book in advance – most shows sell out.
Photograph the view from the bridge
Ponte dell'Accademia is the southernmost of the four bridges of Venice that cross the Canal Grande, and it offers the best view of the water.
Have an ice cream at Gelateria Nico
Come here especially for the gianduiotto, a swirl of ice cream placed in a glass before being drowned in whipped cream.
Explore St. Mark's Square
Iconic square dating back to the 12th century, dominated by the stunning St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.
