Incredible canal views and a sophisticated interior combine in this seventeenth-century building to create a luxury pad you'll relish returning to. We love the exposed brickwork and wooden beams above, and the lighting helps create a romantic atmosphere. The bed can also be split in two, making it perfect for two friends looking to explore too. You can grab fresh ingredients at the nearby Rialto Market to impress your companion in the large kitchen, and there is an array of restaurants practically at your doorstep.

Home truths:
*The bed can be turned into two twin beds on request, and the home can accommodate a further two guests (for a total of four), as the living room has a pull-out sofa bed
*Your host may be able to arrange a later check-out time and luggage storage for you with advanced notice
*This home is located on the first floor with no lift
*You'll have your own private entrance here
*There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
