Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Featured in The Telegraph and in Condé Nast Traveller magazine, this apartment in the heart of the Castello district offers everything you could hope for in a Venetian getaway. While this third-floor home is accessed via stairs only, once inside you’ll be charmed by the low-slung beams and the trompe-l'œil conservatory. Best of all, there’s a private rooftop terrace with breathtaking views over Venice’s terracotta rooftops. The vistas continue towards the churches of San Francesco Della Vigna, San Giorgio Maggiore and the bell tower of St. Mark’s – best enjoyed over an aperitivo at sunset.
