The slightly dated decor aside, this apartment makes for a great central base in Venice, with views of the Grand Canal and Santa Lucia train station handily just a bridge away. You’ve also got a plethora of nearby vaporetto (water bus) stops nearby to take you to St Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, Lido, or directly to the airport, making it perfect for those with a tightly packed itinerary. While its location is definitely a strong point, the home isn’t without its merits. The views are a plus, the parquet floors and arched windows add old-world charm, and we’re particularly smitten with the tiled en-suite bathroom with its swish rainfall shower.

Local guide
About Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia station, the car parks, and the hotels that surround it greet you as you arrive in Venice. This means that the area is quite functional, but while the streets around Piazzale Roma are less prepossessing, northeast of the station are some picturesque gardens and one of the main campuses of Ca' Foscari, the main university in the city. Both here and the area around Rio Novo have...
