This chic apartment occupies the first floor of a gorgeous medieval palazzo on the Grand Canal. Step off the Vaporetto (the local water taxi) onto your own private jetty and be prepared to be stunned by the beautifully modernised interiors, high ceilings and refined air of your elegant pad. The combination of mod cons, antique furniture and classic paintings makes it effortlessly easy to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Venice. The plush bedroom exudes romance on every level with a custom-made bed featuring a traditional canopy and fine Italian bed linens. There’s also a walk-in closet should you feel tempted to shop the latest Italian fashions in the luxury boutiques. Kick off the morning with a cup of strong Italian coffee and freshly baked pastries delivered straight to your apartment. The historic sights of St Mark’s Square are just a short stroll away and all that the city has to offer is on your doorstep. Cuddle with your significant other on a gondola ride down the canals, stroll the ancient streets hand in hand, and enjoy savouring cicchetti – an assortment of small plates – in the local bars. When you’ve had your fill of sightseeing and adventure, sip... Prosecco on the leafy communal terrace while mixing and mingling with the other guests of the palazzo. If you prefer privacy, retreat to your gorgeous lounge, play some sexy sax music on the Bose loudspeaker and enjoy a serene Venetian night.

About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists.
