The conversion of this 16th-century Venetian palazzo into a stylish collection of apartments is spot-on. A great option for friends or couples sharing, each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom for added privacy. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are tailor-made for socialising, and there’s a shared terrace to take things outside for cursory aperitifs. Set in the charming Dorsoduro district, you’re just a three-minute stroll from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and all the other iconic landmarks are within easy reach on foot over the nearby bridges. Be sure to catch the sunset over the Grand Canal from the Accademia Bridge – just a five-minute stroll away.

Home truths:
*Air conditioning is provided between the warmer months of May and September.
*Although not photographed, there is a communal terrace with seating shared with one other apartment in the building.
