St Mark’s Square is undoubtedly one of the most iconic squares in Europe. This elegant piazza has been standing strong since medieval times, and to this day still fits its famous description as ‘the drawing room of Europe’. With a majestic basilica and elegant shops and cafés surrounding these 12th-century paving stones, it’s a sight you simply cannot miss – especially when your apartment is ten minutes away. This sophisticated home offers more modern interiors than its ancient neighbouring buildings. We love the sophisticated colour scheme in the bright living space, where greys and blues feel reminiscent of the main feature of the city – its canals. Kick back on one of the rich, teal velvet armchairs with your morning coffee, and open the windows to hear the sounds of the city waking below. Or you could perch at the balconette to feel even more like you're living the Venetian lifestyle. For an extra element of luxe, your hosts will be on hand to help you arrange restaurant reservations or city tours during your stay. Although that said, it’s just as easy to stroll to the nearest vaporetto stop to take your own boat trip, only two minutes away.

About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists. It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub. A lot of the luxury hotels are around here, so it’s not necessarily the place to find authentic, family-run restaurants or cafes. This area’s known for...
