Beachy, rustic, chic and peaceful – this apartment is as cute as can be. Small yet cosy, the home is beautifully designed for a romantic getaway or solo trip. And we're swooning over the Japanese-style cedar hot tub out front – it's the perfect spot to relax with a drink and a book at the end of the day, and more than makes up for the lack of a sofa. We know where we'd rather spend our time. Located on a quiet street in Venice, you're removed from the buzz but plenty close to the action. So, while the cute kitchen contains everything you'd need, there are so many culinary choices nearby, it's tempting to let someone else take care of the cooking – you're on holiday, after all. This is the ultimate relaxing getaway.
