Nestled in the storied quarter of San Marco, this apartment is packed with Venetian grandeur. Artwork, gold accents, and antiques all combine together to create a unique hideaway. There's plenty of room for a small group between the lounge, dining room, and two traditional bedrooms. It won't suit those looking for modern touches (though there are plenty of contemporary comforts inside), but it suits the historic surroundings perfectly. Speaking of setting, you'll be in the heart of Venice here. Landmarks like the famous Accademia Bridge and Piazza San Marco are within easy reach – not to mention an array of eateries and shops.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. A second cot can be arranged upon request.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. Some of the furniture is antique and a few pieces of artwork are very traditional.
*Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in Venice. You can explore on foot or take advantage of nearby water taxis.
