Floor-level windows looking directly onto the Grand Canal make this San Marco apartment one of the most immersive addresses in Venice – gondolas, vaporetti, and traditional rowers pass by close enough to feel part of your stay. The living and dining room, framed by ancient whitewashed beams and polished terrazzo floors that catch the shifting canal light, is a genuinely atmospheric place to spend an evening. Palazzo Grassi, the Accademia Bridge, and Campo Santo Stefano are all within easy walking distance, with two vaporetto lines moments away for exploring further afield.

Home truths
You enter the apartment on the ground floor of a gently tilting historic palazzo – a charming detail of Venetian architecture, but worth keeping in mind if you have any balance or mobility considerations.
Venice is best explored on foot and by vaporetto, and you're well placed for both here. We recommend leaving the car behind entirely – driving into Venice isn't possible, and the nearest car parks on the mainland or at Piazzale Roma require a walk or water bus ride to reach the apartment.
The kitchenette sits beneath a sloping ceiling and is set up for light cooking and aperitivi rather than full meals.

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.

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.
