With a private terrace overlooking the Arsenale Canal, this petite apartment is perfect for those looking for a romantic stay in Venice’s historic Castello district. There’s no boat traffic along this stretch of the canal, and the awning over the outdoor dining set means alfresco treats can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Beamed ceilings and large windows add old-world charm inside, and the sliding door separating the bedroom from the living area means a bit more privacy should the sofa bed be used. While the kitchenette is small, there are plenty of restaurants nearby. And with the city’s iconic sights – including St Mark’s Square – reachable on foot or by water bus, culture seeking is as easy as can be.
