Why not stay in the 15th-century San Marco palazzo of the former Doge Francesco Molin? This historic apartment is now a modern base for busy travellers, promising handy water doors that let you get around Venice's canals like a local. Under vaulted ceilings, a studio bedroom awaits off the living area to sleep guests three and four on a sofa bed. No sunbathing or alfresco dining is allowed in the communal courtyard, but you'll be just a stone's throw from Teatro La Fenice and St. Mark's Square.

This home is located on a palazzo. Picnics, dining, and sunbathing are not permitted in the shared on-site courtyard and hallway.
