Central is an understatement. Colombina is only a few minutes away from Piazza San Marco (which you can see from some of the windows) and within walking distance to all the attractions you can think of. This home is a regal multi-level extravaganza, furnished with high-quality materials – but what we loved most is that the host had put in a lot of effort into preserving the look and feel of a turn-of-the-century Venetian residence. The old furniture shows some wear and tear, but we thought it contributed to the charm.

About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists. It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub.
