Situated on the Grand Canal, this elegant apartment couldn’t be better placed for a romantic break in the Floating City. The interior is a quirky mix of modern and traditional, with black beams, Murano glass chandeliers, marble flourishes and a dramatic mirrored wall. We loved the pale green theme that runs throughout, as delicious as pistachio gelato. There’s a terrace on the canal (which you can get a water taxi to directly), and a back yard, which the bedroom French doors open on to. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the vaporettos glide past, before perusing the Peggy Guggenheim Collection next door or exploring Venice’s backwaters by gondola. Evenings are spent dining alfresco on atmospheric piazzas – you can reach the famous San Marco square in just twelve minutes by water bus – or with a spritz and a bowl of pasta on your decking, watching on as a violet sky marks twilight.

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.
