Tucked down an alleyway in Venice's artsy Dorsoduro district, this apartment is a sweet retreat in a city famous for its heavy footfall. The main drawback is the lack of canal views, although you're just a short stroll from the water here. The Juliet balcony is a nice touch, and we like the traditional decor, even if it won't suit everyone's tastes. Part of a typical Venetian building, there's no lift here, so prepare to climb steps to reach the second floor – we suggest packing light. Nearby, you've historic buildings and a plethora of museums to explore, not to mention plenty of bars and eateries within walking distance. *There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this second-floor home. *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. And upon request, the double bed can be turned into two singles. *The traditional decor here might not be to eve...

Just steps from the famous St Mark's Square, this stylish ground-floor apartment enjoys views of the nearby Rio de San Zulian canal. You won't get much natural light here and the front door opens onto a courtyard which is frequented by tourists, so there is the potential for outside noise.
