This beautiful home in Giudecca is the perfect solution for anyone looking to explore Venice away from the hustle and bustle of the actual city. Instead, surround yourself with galleries, restaurants and skyline bars overlooking the Venetian Lagoon. Explore the island on foot, and when you choose to spend a day in Venice proper, it’s only a ferry and a quick drive away, but we imagine the beach, only minutes away, might be a far more attractive prospect.

When you’re not passing sun-drenched days by frolicking in the water, you can take a boat tour or track down fugassa or pinsa at a local pastry shop. Bring your sweet treats back home to enjoy with a cup of coffee as you put your feet up for a bit of rest and relaxation.

Treat yourself to a morning at the spa after a training session in the communal gym and when you’re ready, come back to put a light bite together in the compact kitchen or sit down to eat at one of the on-site restaurants.

Home truths:
*Parking in Giudecca can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*For those with reduced mobility, this is a single-level home
*The gym is shared with the building's other residents
*We think the kitchen is better suited to lighter bites than large meals
