Tucked away in a quieter corner of Venice, this ground-floor apartment makes it easy to enjoy the city without the crowds. The Venice Biennale is just minutes away, while the surrounding streets are filled with local cafes, bakeries and that wonderfully unhurried Venetian atmosphere. Inside, the space is simple and comfortable, with a cosy bedroom and a relaxed living area for unwinding after a day of wandering canals and campi. There’s even a small private outdoor spot – perfect for a morning espresso before heading out to explore. It's a peaceful little base for soaking up the real Venice, one stroll (and gelato) at a time.

About Castello
Castello represents a cluster of islands at the eastern edge of Venice’s centre. It’s a quieter side of Venice, without too many tourists. All this changes, however, during the Biennale.
