This characterful apartment on a popular street in Venice is right in the centre of the action. It's steps from the canal, a short walk from some of Venice's iconic landmarks, and it even overlooks the square, so you can get a real taste of Venetian life. The apartment itself is as unique as they come, housed inside a 14th-century palazzetto and blended with modern interiors worthy of a boutique hotel. It's perfect for families – open-plan living spaces, three bedrooms for the grown ups, and two attics with floor mattresses that'll make every night feel like a sleepover for the little ones.

Home truths
The four beds in the attics are on a mezzanine level, so we think this home is best for six adults and four children.

Although there is bed space for ten, there are only six seats at the indoor and outdoor dining tables.

This behemoth of the art world takes place in odd-numbered years, and is housed in the former shipyards that give the quarter its name.
