Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay.


Home truths:
*While there's a lift in the building, you'll still need to tackle some stairs to reach the apartment and there are further steps once inside, including a steep flight of stairs up to the bedrooms. For this reason, the home isn't suitable for infants or children. *Given the home's central spot, you may hear some exterior noise and noise from the neighbours. Light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs. *The balcony is small and doesn't have any outdoor seating. It's best for perching by and admiring the views. *The functional decor is generic and the bedrooms are a little sparse for our liking. *The wi-fi can be temperamental here, please ask your host about this.
