This penthouse places you right on Venice's Grand Canal in Dorsoduro. The style is a little old-fashioned and we think the balcony could do with a bit of a refresh, but you'll have space for alfresco dining and the views over the city are gorgeous. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and one of the beds can be configured as a double or twin upon request, making it ideal for families and friend groups alike. You might hear some outside noise here, but you'll find a range of restaurants, museums, and water stops in the surrounding area for traversing the city with ease.

Home truths
You can't drive in Venice, but this home is close to water taxi stops for getting around.
There is a lift up to the third floor, but you'll need to climb a flight of steps to reach the fourth floor.
The twin beds here can be configured as a double – you'll need to request this in advance.
Due to this home's location, there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh. In particular, the balcony and some of the bathroom tiles look a little tired.

Local guide
About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter. The majority of Ca' Foscari (the main university in the city) is in this area, so the people here skew young and trendy. It’s one of Venice’s best spots for nightlife, with crowds gathering in squares deep into the summer evenings. There are also pockets of calm though, like the canalside paths which offer panoramic views over...
