Sleeping beneath a Murano glass chandelier in Dorsoduro is a distinctly Venetian way to start the day, and this apartment delivers that kind of detail without any effort. The library dining room – bookshelves lining the walls, long table ready for equally long lunches – is the sort of space that makes an evening in feel like the right call. Outside, the Gallerie dell'Accademia is a five-minute stroll, St Mark's Basilica a twelve-minute walk, and the Grand Canal around ten minutes away.

Local guide
About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter. The majority of Ca' Foscari (the main university in the city) is in this area, so the people here skew young and trendy.
