Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay.

Home truths
While there's a lift in the building, you'll still need to tackle some stairs to reach the apartment and there are further steps once inside, including a steep flight of stairs up to the bedrooms. For this reason, the home isn't suitable for infants or children.
Given the home's central spot, you may hear some exterior noise and noise from the neighbours. Light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs.
The balcony is small and doesn't have any outdoor seating. It's best for perching by and admiring the views.
The functional decor is generic and the bedrooms are a little sparse for our liking.
The wi-fi can be temperamental here, please ask your host about this.

Local guide
About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter. The majority of Ca' Foscari (the main university in the city) is in this area, so the people here skew young and trendy. It’s one of Venice’s best spots for nightlife, with crowds gathering in squares deep into the summer evenings. There are also pockets of calm though, like the canalside paths which offer panoramic views over...
