This charming studio exudes a certain old-world atmosphere that reminds us of the loft retreat of an artist, sculptor, or woodworker – a place where they could allow their creativity to run free.

You'll also find yourself within easy reach of some of Venice's top attractions, including the bustling St. Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, and of course the host of restaurants serving the best Venetian cuisine.
