Divided into four independent apartments, this elegant home will suit large families or groups who like their own space. Each apartment is immaculately finished with a combination of traditional and modern pieces – we love the perfect parquet flooring and renovated frescoes in some of the master bedrooms. When it’s time to get together, share an aperitivo on the communal patio or sit down for a meal in apartment B’s large dining space. Location-wise, you’re close enough to walk to St Mark’s Square but far from the crowds – the laid-back Castello area has tons of great wine bars, local restaurants and peaceful churches to enjoy.
