Enjoying an enviable location by the Rialto Bridge, this home immediately caught our eye. It overlooks the Grand Canal, boasting a dainty balcony you can step onto with a glass of Prosecco to watch the gondolas float by. There’s plenty to love about the interior too, though the antique floors and ornithological prints may not be to everyone’s taste – especially those looking for a modern stay. But when it comes to sightseeing, you’re just a hop, skip, and a jump from all of Venice’s major attractions, and your host can help arrange a wide variety of extras, including cooking classes, guided tours and private chefs to make your stay all the more memorable.
