This lovely apartment can be found in a quiet part of Venice, tucked away from the crowds of tourists in an authentic neighbourhood. You’ll get to live as Venetians do – but you’re also within a short stroll of all the major sights so you really get the best of both worlds.

Saint Mark’s Square is a thirteen-minute walk from the apartment, where you can admire the architecture as you sip coffee. A leisurely twenty-five-minute wander will take you to Ponte dell’Accademia, which boasts one of the most spectacular views of the Grand Canal. There are plenty of charming osterias and bars close to home, so you’re never far from your next great meal or glass of wine.

The apartment is calm and quiet, with antique features like the wood-beamed ceilings to remind you of the history of the building, and the city beyond the windows. Antique styling adds to the refined feel of the home – you’ll live like the grand old families of Venice used to.
