Now, this is a place where you can really spoil yourself and your family or friends. The private terrace right on the Grand Canal is stunning – admire the views of the Basilica della Salute, Punta della Dogana and San Giorgio Maggiore from both here and inside. You’d think that the outdoor space was the main highlight, but inside the interiors are something else too. It’s almost museum-like in parts with its lion statues and oil paintings. Add into the mix this former palazzo’s location (it’s a two-minute stroll from St. Mark's Square) and you have a very special home indeed.

Home truths:
*This home has a shared (but private to the palazzo) canal entrance and hall
*The kitchen has chef-rated equipment
*The second double bedroom is connected through a corridor to the third smaller bedroom equipped with bunk beds, while the fifth bedroom has a single bed (for use when at the full capacity of nine guests)
*There's a private internal courtyard, as well as the Grand Canal-facing terrace
*It's a three-minute walk to the nearest Vaporetto stop, while the Fenice Theatre is a two-minute stroll
*The best way to gain access to this home is directly from the Grand Canal, coming by water taxi (it's a thirty-minute ride through the lagoon from Venice airport)
