Escape the crowds in Venice and stay in your own private museum. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a buzzing central neighbourhood only minutes from Piazza San Marco, this quiet apartment boasts views from a rooftop terrace facing an aqua canal. Every piece of furniture in this opulent apartment is a work of art, with beautiful antique mirrors, marble floors, and dressers. This includes the magnificent 16th-century four-poster beds in each bedroom, straight from your host’s family castle in Tuscany. Settle in and live like historical royalty – except with the added luxury of modern comforts. When you return home from a day of wandering Venice's winding streets, enjoy a coffee out on the roof terrace and admire the city's famous waterways from above – although the steps are steep, particularly up to the roof, the view is well worth it.
