Settle in and live like historical royalty – except with the added luxury of modern comforts. When you return home from a day of wandering Venice's winding streets, enjoy a coffee out on the roof terrace and admire the city's famous waterways from above – although the steps are steep, particularly up to the roof, the view is well worth it. *This is a 16th Century home, while the home is well-maintained not all elements are pristine, t...

In charming Cannaregio, this home is a great find for families and friends.

Sitting on the other side of the Grand Canal directly opposite Venezia Santa Lucia, this is a superb starting point from which to explore this unique city. More than that, however, it's an excellent home in its own right, too. A little more contemporary than many other dwellings you'll find nearby, there's still a taste of tradition in the antique furnishings, the wooden doors that line the main living space and the prettily tiled terrace that lies on the other side. Otherwise, the design is fairly minimalist, with stark white walls and parquet flooring, plus a sleek kitchen that may be a little basic, but will more than suffice for modest meals. Of course, if cooking isn't on the agenda, there's a good selection of restaurants and bars in the nearby Santa Croce neighbourhood that will keep you fuelled up. Many of the must-see attractions – including the Santa Maria cathedral and the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Mod...
