Experience the quieter side of Venice in this elegant Castello apartment. You’re close enough to the main sights to walk – just ten minutes to St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge – but far enough away to escape the crowds. Meanwhile, Castello’s many laid-back wine bars, traditional restaurants and peaceful churches are yours to discover – for central Venice, the location couldn't be much better. The apartment itself has been wonderfully restored, adding elegant, modern touches to the original wood and stonework.

Home truths:

*A baby cot can be provided on request
*The property comfortably sleeps four people across two bedrooms – there is a double sofa bed in the living room for two more guests
*The property is on the first floor without an elevator
