Set inside a gorgeous 19th-century home, this opulent apartment boasts some stunning views of the Grand Canal below. It's ideally based in the heart of Dorsoduro, close to many museums and galleries where you can soak up the local culture, as well as ferry terminals for when you want to explore further out. The elegant touches really make this home special – we love the white marble feature fireplace and the traditional terrazzo flooring, along with the regal decor that gives the home lots of charm. It can also be made into two self-contained apartments, making it ideal for larger groups who'd occasionally like a bit more privacy.
