Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Venice locations don’t get much better than this. Sitting just a one-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and a five-minute stroll from the Rialto Bridge, this home puts the city’s most iconic sights on your doorstep. And while you’ll have to contend with some noise from the street, neighbours and the nearby bell tower, those who don’t mind packing earplugs will find plenty of old-world charm in the home’s beamed ceilings and antique-style furnishings. The kitchenette is small, so we recommend sticking to the countless restaurants in your neighbourhood. Still, the bedroom has a stone Juliet balcony perfect for perching by with a glass of Italian red.
