Located just moments from the iconic La Fenice Opera House and five minutes on foot from San Marco Square, this is as central as Venice apartments get. Not that you’d know it – despite its location, guests rave about how quiet it is at night here. Well-suited for a small family or group of friends sharing, there’s a sofa bed in the lounge area to sleep an additional guest. The desk space tucked away in a nook off the bedroom is a bonus, too, for anyone planning to work remotely.

Home truths:
*Although not photographed, a dedicated desk area adjoins the bedroom for anyone planning to work or study remotely.
*This apartment is on the third floor and does not have lift access, so it might not be the best option for guests with mobility issues.
