Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Reached by a private bridge, this historic home has a wonderful Venetian setting. It’s just a twelve-minute walk from Piazza San Marco and nine minutes from the Rialto Bridge. A few vaporetto stops are also within walking distance, so reaching Marco Polo airport and the islands of Murano, Burano, Torcello, and the Lido is easy. Inside this apartment, you can watch gondolas passing on the canal or take in the vistas over the terracotta rooftops. The decor is traditional, and there’s a lived-in vibe, so this home may not suit minimalists. But if you need to work from home, you’ll be glad to know there are a couple of desks here.

Home truths
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

Parking in Venice can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

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.
