Nestled in a secret courtyard on the San Marco border and just moments away from St. Mark’s Square lies this bold and elegant apartment. Expect imaginative designs and practical amenities here – a kitchenette for light bites and an open-plan living space for sharing a bottle of natural wine. If you’re visiting in a group, you can book multiple apartments in this Venetian building – though be prepared to climb some stairs. Located at the gondola-busy intersection of the San Zulian and Bareteri channels, this pad is perfectly placed for days on the canal and on the doorstep of the city’s famous sights, restaurants, and bars.

Home truths
No cars are allowed in Venice, but you'll be close to the water bus stops for easy travel around the city.
This home is on the second floor, with stair access only. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise.
The bold decor here may not be to everyone's taste.
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Generally, the heating and air conditioning alternate between mid-October and mid-April. Please contact for more information.
