You'll find this cosy apartment in the buzzing Dorsoduro district, right on the side of the Rio delle Terese canal. It's easy to explore Venice in this central location, whether on foot or by water taxi. Even better, your host can help arrange tours and other excursions to take your visit to the next level. The bright red living room is the perfect spot to nurse a glass of wine or curl up with a book, while the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up home-cooked dinners. As the owner is a 'marangon' (carpenter), many pieces are handcrafted or carefully restored. *The twin bedroom can be arranged as a double upon request. *Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in Venice. You can explore on foot or take advantage of nearby water taxis. *Though there isn't a desk here, the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace.

This cosy apartment is just moments from St. Mark's Square and overlooks the maze-like beauty of Venice from its private balcony on the third floor. You'll need to climb stairs to reach it and the decor is on the simple side, but it's ideal if you want to be close to the action without being in the centre of everything. The kitchen is small here – good for cooking light meals, but fear not. You'll find a wealth of Venice's fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep, along with shops and the famous canals. *You can't drive in Venice, but this home is close to water taxi stops for getting around. *There is no lift in the building, so you will need to climb stairs during your stay. *Due to this home's location, there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay. *There is a kitchenette here rather than a full kitchen – we think it's best for preparing lighter bites. *If you're staying here for over a week, a w...
Situated within the calmer San Marco district, this contemporary apartment is curated with accents of mid-century furniture – creating a relaxing base for exploring Venice. While the home can sleep five guests comfortably, the walk-through bedroom may be better suited to families. We love the master bedroom tucked away in the loft – from where you can enjoy panoramic views of San Marco from the freestanding bathtub. The Fenice Theatre is just opposite the apartment, and with a Vaporetto stop a three-minute walk away, you can travel across the city with ease. *This home is located on the fourth floor with no lift *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *The main bedroom is located in the attic and therefore has low-beamed ceilings *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Though there's enough bed space for five people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of...
Situated in the San Polo district, this apartment is just a three-minute stroll from the iconic Rialto Bridge. You'll also find the Rialto Market here, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute walk away. Need a break after all that sightseeing? There's a private terrace back home for enjoying a glass of Prosecco after a busy day. Inside, the kitchen is on the small side – there's no oven, but there's a hob and microwave. Also, at full capacity, two people will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. All in all, though, this is a decent base for exploring Venice. *Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. If you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for four guests only. *You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. *This apartment is on the third floor without a lift. You'll ...
In the heart of the artistic quarter between the Accademia Bridge and the Zattere waterfront, this apartment is ideal for creative couples. The design is industrial with an open-plan living space, featuring a mezzanine floor and an open staircase. Though it won’t be the best option for guests with children and those that struggle with stairs – the home is a relaxing base for a group of friends. Where better to host an evening of aperivos, than your dining area? Situated just a few minutes walk from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, you can immerse yourself in Venetian art. *While babies are welcome, this home isn't suitable for toddlers or children due to the open staircase and mezzanine floor *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *The second semi-private bedroom is located on the mezzanine floor and therefore has low ceilings *The entrance to th...
Romantic, chic, and so central you're knocking shoulders with St Mark's Basilica. This home couldn't be more perfect for exploring Venice. The ancient apartment has retained the building's traditional wooden beams and exposed brick, a taste of true Venetian charm. The old and the new blend seamlessly with sleek marble walls, plush furnishings, and luxurious chromotherapy showers. Sip coffee on your private terrace and enjoy one of life's greatest pleasures – people watching. In such a central location, you won't run out of things to do in a hurry. You can see the city by vaporetto, or you're well situated to take it on foot. Simply meandering around this city, gaping at the dramatic Gothic architecture, is a lovely way to experience Venice. A great example is Ca' D'Oro – one of the oldest palaces in the city, just a nine-minute walk away. You can also explore the highly detailed, baroque architecture of San Salvador. The 16th-cen...
Sitting on the top floor of a historic palazzo, this apartment in Venice’s Castello district offers spectacular canal views, as well as a pair of terraces. With one outdoor space equipped with an alfresco dining set and the other a rooftop space decked out in sun chairs, you can soak up the sun to your heart’s content all while taking in the striking scenery around you. Inside, frescoed ceilings, a four-poster bed and antique-inspired furnishings caught our eye, and while at full capacity one guest will need to sleep on the sofa bed, a pair of bathrooms keep morning routines running smoothly before heading out to see the countless sights nearby. *There's a lift to access the apartment on the third floor *At capacity, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed between the living room and the bedroom *While the home can sleep up to four people, the maximum occupancy is three guests *There's a desk in the bedroom should you need ...
Overlooking the historic palazzo of Campo Santo Stefano, this bright apartment comes with authentic charm and plenty of views. Though the living space may be on the smaller side, this home would suit couples and small families. The compact balcony makes for the perfect spot to enjoy your espresso in the morning, and a negroni or two as the sunsets over the city. The square has many restaurants and bars to choose from within walking distance. With a Vaporetto stop just a two-minute walk away, you can easily explore further afield too. *This home is located on the second floor with no lift *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *The second bedroom can be accessed through a sliding wall in the living room – this can be completely separated and closed *The master bedroom has two single beds – which can be used as a king-size bed on request *It's possible you might hear some noise from ...
There are great views across Venice from this stylish home's large private terrace. The apartment is housed in the well-known former thermal power plant built by an architect-engineer of the Ministry of Communications in the 1930s. The layout is upside-down, with the bedrooms below the living space, and there’s a staircase without a railing up to the balcony, so it may not suit guests with kids or those with mobility issues. Out and about, it’s just a seven-minute walk to Piazzale Roma, while the Guglie area and Fondamenta Cannaregio, with its many bars and excellent local restaurants, are five minutes on foot *There are stairs to climb here *Air conditioning is only available in the living area *Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room – if you'd prefer ample space for socialising, we'd suggest a maximum guest count of four *Though there isn't a desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly wor...
Experience the best of the Floating City from this gorgeous canalside Cannaregio apartment. Impeccably decorated in typically Venetian style, expect stunning period features, elegant furnishings and the occasional antique piece within its 16th-century walls. In addition to the calming forest green colour scheme and tall windows that invite plenty of natural light in, we particularly loved the ingenious secret door leading to the en suite bathroom. Your third-floor vantage point offers views over a buzzing piazza and imposing clock tower to one side and an elevated vantage point over a canal to the other. Venice is unusual in that there's no car traffic here. Instead, you can open up the windows and take in the many traditional sounds of the city, including church bells, bustling street markets, and gondoliers singing as they cruise by. The location is ideal – not even five minutes from Rialto bridge, so you won't ha...
With a central yet quiet location, this home in Venice's San Marco offers an atmospheric base you'll love spending time in – just look at the wood beams on the ceiling and that fantastic terrace overlooking a canal. This home is suited to both families and couples travelling together, as the twin room can be turned into a double, offering flexibility. The canal outside is quiet and the streets opposite are off the beaten path, meaning you'll get plenty of peace here despite being a short stroll from town squares, famous bridges, and delicious eateries. *The twin bedroom can be turned into a double on request *Your host may be able to arrange a later check-out time and luggage storage for you with advanced notice *There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay *This home is located on the first floor with no lift Air Conditioning Central Heating Coffee Maker Cooking Essenti...
Situated inside an authentic historic building on the west side of the Castello district, just a stone's throw from San Marco Square, this elegant apartment lets you live like a true local. Opulently decorated with ornate lighting and baroque-style furniture, it feels luxurious and classy, while still having all the character you'd expect for a historic Venetian home. You'll also benefit from the wonderful roof terrace here for soaking up the sun, with views out over the city and of the green and leafy courtyard below. *The bed in the attic room is a small double and is suitable for two children or one adult*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected*There isn't a desk here, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace*Parking in Venice can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to public transport where possible*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents*Your host owns a ...
You've struck gold with this one. Epitomising Venetian grandeur in every crevice and, in the same breath, delivering a masterclass in colour theory, it's no surprise that this beautifully-designed home has caught the discerning eye of Condé Nast Traveller. It's delightfully peaceful, tucked away in a piazza's side street yet right at the heart of the historic centre, just a ten-minute stroll from St Mark's Square. The interior exudes elegance, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary comfort. Majestic timber beams cling to lofty ceilings while large windows usher in floods of sunlight. We love the living space, a sanctuary of serenity cloaked in a radiant emerald hue and adorned with parquet flooring, lavish textiles and opulent decor. A solid wood doorway leads to the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with swish appliances and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. After a restful slumber, spend mornings ro...
Save for the rustic wooden ceiling beams and the chandeliers, this apartment in the centre of Venice is ideal for those who prefer their homes on the more contemporary end of the scale. For a start, the large arched windows are nothing but generous when it comes to natural light and this welcome asset is allowed to flow about the home thanks to the high ceilings and reflective surfaces. In the living area, there's an added bonus in the shape of two Juliet balconies overlooking a quintessentially Venetian square. Elsewhere, the furnishings are all deliciously modern, from the transparent dining chairs and leather corner sofa to the tasteful black-and-white framed photographs hanging on the walls. The kitchen, too, is plenty large enough for whipping up hearty dinners after a day of sightseeing, but there's every chance it stays relatively underused if you make the most of the canalside restaurants and trattorias that line t...
Tucked away in a secret courtyard in Venice’s central San Marco neighbourhood, this apartment housed in a historic canalside palace is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s sights. Full of Old World charm yet boasting a luxuriously modern touch, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home here. We love the beamed ceilings that nod to the building’s past and the living area’s Fornasetti Teatro feature wall that lends a characterful touch to the decor. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are elegantly pared back and offer stunning views – one overlooking the bridges on the Rio dei Bareteri and the other giving way to views of the 18th century Casino Venier. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its chromotherapy rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay. When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk one minute to Santa Maria della Fava or stroll t...
Comfortable, unfussy and well-connected, this apartment is an excellent place to call home. Although there’s not much natural light and the kitchen is small, there’s plenty of space for the group to spread out – the living room is separate from the dining area, which is ideal if the sofa bed is in use. In terms of location, you’re around a five-minute walk from Piazzale Roma and twenty minutes from San Marco. What’s more, there’s a water bus stop nearby and you’re not far from Venice’s central train station. *This home is located on the third floor with no lift *At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *There is no full-length mirror in this home Air Conditioning Carbon Monoxide Detector Central Heating Child Friendly Coffee Maker Cooking Essentials Cot / Crib Dishwas...
It's no secret what this apartment's best feature is — once you head up to the rooftop terrace and gaze out over the pretty view of Venice's domes, campaniles and turrets, you'll be as smitten with the outside space as we are. That being said, this home isn't just a one-trick pony. The interior's sloping, wooden-beamed ceilings are a nod to the city's long and illustrious history, but otherwise, the design is impeccably contemporary, with shiny tiling, a minimalist kitchen and transparent dining chairs all combining to great effect. The open-concept layout adds a real sense of space, too. When you want to see some of the city's landmarks, you really don't have far to go. The Natural History Museum lies a minute's walk around the corner and the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art only rakes five minutes on foot to reach. If you want to check out Doge's Palace, that's only twenty minutes away, too. *T...
In a grand Venetian palazzo, this amazing home is not the kind of place that you come across every day. Relax with a glass of Prosecco on the altana, a typical Venetian rooftop terrace – we love the breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. Inside, with its ornate furniture, beautiful paintings and baroque atmosphere, you can imagine hosting a masquerade within its walls. It encapsulates the beauty and richness of this once-mighty empire. This home has probably one of the comfiest sofas – it's made of down and feather, so it's very soft, and you'll sink right into it – we felt like Lord Byron lounging here. The location is as splendid as this apartment – historic Piazza San Marco and Accademia Bridge are just over a five-minute stroll. Opera lovers will be over the moon to learn that Teatro La Fenice is a mere three-minute saunter. Your lovely hosts can arrange cultural guides and boat excursions to ensure you get the mos...
Far enough from the tourist crowds yet still within reach of Venice’s most notable sights, this two-level apartment offers a comfortable base from which to explore the city. Located in the Cannaregio district with plenty of local restaurants nearby, you’ll get a taste of true Venetian living here. At full capacity, two guests will need to share the living room’s sofa bed, and the upstairs bedroom only has an internal window. But a patio area is a nice touch – perfect for enjoying morning espressos and evening glasses of Italian wine. *Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same. *It's laid over two floors with internal stairs leading up to the bedroom. The bedroom only has an interior window. *At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *The kitchenette...

In a central spot between the San Marco, Castello and Cannaregio districts of Venice, you'll be within easy walking distance of the city's attractions from here. The perfect base for a small group of friends, you'll get the hotel-like experience and privacy of having an en-suite bathroom with each bedroom, yet space to socialise together in the open living and dining area. The desk space offers a quiet corner for digital nomads and those who need to work from home during their stay. Meanwhile, the comfortable interiors allow you to balance relaxing with your adventures out and about in the city. *Please note the host owns multiple apartments in the building that can also be booked – so if you're a larger group get in touch with the host as it might be the perfect set-up for families who like their own space. *This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. So you may bump into other guests during...
Tucked away in a charming palazzetto at the meeting point of the three sestieri – Castello, Cannaregio and San Marco – this apartment puts you right at the heart of Venice's action. You won’t exactly feel like a local here – the decor’s a little too generic for that – but you’ll be within easy reach of all the hotspots, as well as plenty of restaurants dishing up hearty Italian fare. Even better, your host can arrange a plethora of extras for an additional fee – from cooking classes to private chefs and guided tours – giving you the chance to fully immerse yourself in Venetian living. *The understated decor here might not be to everyone's taste. Though cosy, it feels a little dated in parts. *This home is situated on the second floor, which isn't accessible by lift. For this reason, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. *The air conditioning and heating are subject to municipal regulations. Generally, the...
Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay. *While there's a lift in the building, you'll still need to tackle some stairs to reach the apartment and there are further steps once inside, including a steep flight of stairs up to the bedrooms. For this reason, the home isn't suitable for infants or children. *Given the home's central spot, you may hear some exterior noise and noise from the neighb...
Watch Venetian life go by from the window of this seventeenth-century palazzo apartment for two, perched on the Canal Grande and within easy walking distance of the city’s hotspots and central train station. While the ornate interiors of this adult's only bolthole may not be to everyone’s taste, and the bathroom could do with a tart-up, it’s well cared for and perfectly in keeping with the character of the home. It’s worth noting the kitchen is compact. But with so many charming cafes and restaurants just moments from your door, we don’t think you’ll mind. *This home is not suitable for children and infants. *The apartment is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *There are stairs within this apartment building which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility. *Expect to hear some noise from the Canal Grande throughout your stay. *We think the co...
This fabulous first-floor apartment in central Venice boasts a combination of authentic architectural features, and inimitable Italian interiors along with elements of modern design. Comprising an open plan kitchen, dining and living room – think chandeliers, wooden floors and beamed ceilings – as well as two beautiful bedrooms, this historic home is perfect for a couple of couples or small family seeking to explore this unique city, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. You’ll love waking up in the majestic master bedroom and flinging open the wooden shutters for views of canal and canal boats before taking your morning coffee back to bed. Prepare firm family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen and dine together beside the open windows. As the light fades, draw the rich red curtains, light some candles and chill out on the gorgeous green easy chair in the atmospheric living room. If you fancy getting out and about,...
Located in Venice’s Cannaregio district, this practical apartment offers a stay away from the tourist crowds yet within easy reach of the city’s most sought-after sights thanks to the nearby vaporetto stops. Laid over two floors, you won’t find a TV or a washing machine here, and at capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed in the living area. However, the patio equipped with outdoor seating is a nice touch – perfect for sunny mornings coffees or evening drinks – and the dining table can double as a remote work spot should you need to catch up on business. *Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos.

Housed in a historical Palazzo – this apartment not only has wonderful canal views from its living room and bedrooms, but it has a shared sunny terrace and solarium as well – perfect for a glass of Prosecco. Located in Castello, there are plenty of antique ateliers, local food shops and traditional restaurants in the locale. Attractions nearby include the Biennale Gardens which hosts the Venice Biennale, as well as the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci. All the delights of San Marco Square are just a five-minute stroll away too. *This home is accessed via a shared entrance *A communal hallway connects the apartment with the shared terrace *Your host has four apartments here in total which can be rented together for groups of up to twelve people *Both bedrooms can be set up as a king or twin beds *The decor is in parts is not quite up to Plum Guide's usual standards – we've made an exception to let this one into the collec...
If you’re looking for an authentic Venetian experience, then this home could fit the bill. Located in a quiet spot, off the tourist trail, yet still only a fifteen-minute walk to St Mark’s Square, you’ll have the best of both worlds here. We love the period features in this home – especially the high ceilings and exposed wooden beams. We think this hidden gem is perfect for a couple, and if you want to holiday with friends, your host has another apartment in the same building. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents. Guests are advised not to leave any belongings at the entrance as they may become damaged at high tide. *Guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum between 1pm and 3pm, and between 11pm and 8am. *The use of candles is not allowed in this home. <b...
If you’re looking for something a little quirky, you’ve found it. Overlooking the famous Canale dei Greci, this cosy apartment is right in the thick of Venice’s fascinating centre, and with the water bus stop just a five-minute walk away, the city is yours to explore. The sofa bed makes this home ideal for a small family or two couples travelling together, but the highlight here has to be the living area’s glass floor, exposing an ancient well below. *This home is located on the ground floor *This home is laid out across one floor with no internal stairs *Venice is a car-free city, so there's no parking here, but we think the best way to see the city is on foot *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the livin...
The slightly dated decor aside, this apartment makes for a great central base in Venice, with views of the Grand Canal and Santa Lucia train station handily just a bridge away. You’ve also got a plethora of nearby vaporetto (water bus) stops nearby to take you to St Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, Lido, or directly to the airport, making it perfect for those with a tightly packed itinerary. While its location is definitely a strong point, the home isn’t without its merits. The views are a plus, the parquet floors and arched windows add old-world charm, and we’re particularly smitten with the tiled en-suite bathroom with its swish rainfall shower. *At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area *There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace *Given its central location, you may hear some street noise *The decor may feel a little tired and dated to some *The k...
