Picture this – an artist’s studio full of colourful curiosities and dreamy designs sat on the banks of Venice’s canal. While it may sound too cinematic to be true, we guarantee this artistic vision is the real deal.

Lose yourself in the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, watch the gondolas float by from the living room’s windows and marvel at the Murano glass and myriad artworks that surround you. From your central location, go out and explore the sights – the walk to Rialto Bridge is just ten-minutes and St. Mark's Square is reachable in twenty.
