Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you had to dream up a model Venetian home, we think you'd come up with something like this. After arriving by water taxi, exposed brick and suspended paintings greet you at the entrance. Inside, the home is replete with curiosities, from Rezzonico chandeliers to 17th-century frescos, and awash with antique furniture. As such, it isn't particularly child-friendly, although well-behaved young ones are welcome here. At full capacity, you'll pay a small fee to use the single bedroom – perfect if you're travelling with a teen. The balconies offer canal views, and there are several places to dine, including the private garden. And if exploration is on the agenda, the Piazza San Marco is a few minutes away.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Castello
Castello represents a cluster of islands at the eastern edge of Venice’s centre. It’s a quieter side of Venice, without too many tourists. All this changes, however, during the Biennale. This behemoth of the art world takes place in odd-numbered years, and is housed in the former shipyards that give the quarter its name.
