Framing the T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canal through the arched water door, this Venetian apartment allows you to gondola-watch right from the comfort of your living room. Pair that with traditional tiles, stone and beams, and this home makes a pretty picture, even if it lacks a bit of brightness. Luckily, with so many landmarks – St. Mark’s Square and the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava is a must – within walking distance, you'll have plenty of natural light as you explore.
