The Little Glass Book

Holiday Rental Description

Featured in The Telegraph and in Condé Nast Traveller magazine, this apartment in the heart of the Castello district offers everything you could hope for in a Venetian getaway. While this third-floor home is accessed via stairs only, once inside you’ll be charmed by the low-slung beams and the trompe-l'œil conservatory. Best of all, there’s a private rooftop terrace with breathtaking views over Venice’s terracotta rooftops. The vistas continue towards the churches of San Francesco Della Vigna, San Giorgio Maggiore and the bell tower of St. Mark’s – best enjoyed over an aperitivo at sunset.


Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the third floor. *The apartment only accepts fully supervised children over six years old or under one-year-old due to the internal stairs, the rooftop terrace and the low windows. *The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests. *The bathroom only has a tub with a handheld shower head. *The twin bedroom's beds are pushed together. *Due to the home's proximity to several churches, you may hear bells chiming throughout your stay. Light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs.
