An unbeatable central location and canal views seal the deal at this Venice apartment. Set just steps from the Peggy Guggenheim museum in the Dorsoduro quarter, you'll be an easy stroll from all the landmarks. This pad is housed in a 16th-century Venetian palazzo reimagined into a collection of apartments, making it well suited to family and friend stays. Expect four equally stylish bedrooms – all with the option to be arranged as kings or twins. Although there’s no private outdoor space, the communal terrace downstairs is a nice touch for aperitifs. You can also watch the gondolas gliding by from the windows – just like you imagined.
