Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this apartment perched beside one of Venice's picturesque canals. The location is fantastic – and not just because the historic building has its own private bridge across the water. Piazza San Marco is a twelve-minute stroll, while Rialto Bridge is walkable in ten. If the location doesn't wow you, we reckon the interiors will. Exposed wooden beams and antique furniture add a traditional touch, while the well-appointed kitchen is more modern. Your host is also happy to arrange extras like welcome hampers, gondola rides, and other experiences, making this a sweet couple's retreat in the heart of the city.

About Castello
Castello represents a cluster of islands at the eastern edge of Venice’s centre. It’s a quieter side of Venice, without too many tourists. All this changes, however, during the Biennale.
