Overlooking the canal, this waterfront home is the perfect peaceful retreat for anyone looking to explore Venice. Romantic with direct access to the city – Rialto Bridge is only a short walk away, and so is the ferry stop and grocery shops – you get the best of the city, knowing you’re able to retreat to a quiet spot whenever you’d like. Admire the unique architecture Venice from the balcony, where you can enjoy a glass of wine as you appreciate the water views. If you hired a boat, you might see it bobbing on the water where it’s privately moored. Spend days exploring the city, stopping for coffee, pizza, pasta, and don’t miss out on gelato. When you return, enjoy drinks and nibbles around the kitchen counter as you prepare dinner that you can go on to eat alfresco in the courtyard at sunset. Get cosy under exposed beams, read in the library and take advantage of the dedicated desk if you’re visiting Venice for business. Home truths: *The canal isn't fenced off, so children will need to be supervised at all times *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift *Parking in Venice can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *There's a dedicated office here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
