This Venetian home has a gem of a location in the Arsenal district of Venice, which houses the Naval History Museum. It’s just a five-minute walk to the Biennale Gardens, an area created by Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century, while St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge are just fifteen minutes on foot. If you prefer to use the water bus, there’s a Vaporetto stop located a few steps away from the apartment, so you can easily reach Piazzale Roma or Murano Island.

Inside this abode, the warm tones from the wood beams contrast nicely with the whitewashed walls. There are three sofas, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax. If you don’t fancy eating out, whip up a risotto al nero di sepia in the modern kitchenette. Or simply get some rest on the comfy beds after a busy day exploring all that this beguiling city has to offer.
