Ideally located between the romantic Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square, this bright apartment blends rustic traditionalism and modern comforts to create a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Beamed ceilings, wood floors and contemporary decor come together in perfect harmony here, allowing you to feel the spirit of Old World Venice in sparkling 21st-century style. Perch by the living area’s windows with your morning coffee while taking in views of the quiet street below. The dining table is ready to host intimate Italian dinners when you’re not out sampling the local food scene and the bedrooms – one of which has a handy desk space – have been curated in a pared-back way to give you a wonderfully restful night’s sleep.

When it comes to experiencing the city in style, ask your host to arrange a personal shopper for you or to organise a boat excursion, cooking class and a guided city tour. Alternatively, take to the streets for your own day of adventure – you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy reach. The Rialto Bridge is a three-minute walk, St Mark’s Square is a six-minute stroll and the Doge's Palace is ten minutes away on foot.
