Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This cosy apartment gives you the chance to experience the real Venice. Dorsoduro is a bustling neighbourhood popular with locals and university students, so by staying here you can live like a local. The apartment is petite and fuss-free, with everything you need for a short stay. It’s not the largest apartment in Venice, but the tiled terrace is a real bonus. It faces the 14th-century Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini, which adds to the charm but definitely dominates the view.
