Tucked away in a secret courtyard in Venice’s central San Marco neighbourhood, this apartment housed in a historic canalside palace is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s sights.

Full of Old World charm yet boasting a luxuriously modern touch, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home here. We love the beamed ceilings that nod to the building’s past and the living area’s Fornasetti Teatro feature wall that lends a characterful touch to the decor. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are elegantly pared back and offer stunning views – one overlooking the bridges on the Rio dei Bareteri and the other giving way to views of the 18th century Casino Venier. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its chromotherapy rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay.

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk one minute to Santa Maria della Fava or stroll three minutes to the romantic Rialto Bridge. You’re also a six-minute walk from lively St. Mark's Square, while the Doge’s Palace is eight minutes on foot from your door. Your host is also happy to arrange an assortment of activities for you – including wine tastings, cooking classes, city tours and skippered boat excursions to the Venetian Lagoon – ensuring you experience Venice to its fullest.
