Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
For an authentic experience in Venice, this apartment is a good choice. It’s in the San Marco sestiere, close to Palazzo Zaguri, St Mark’s Square, and La Fenice Opera House – location doesn’t get better than this. The vaporetto stops of Accademia, Giglio and Sant’Angelo are all within easy reach, so the city is yours to discover. The apartment is all wood beams and antique furniture – if you like sleek, modern homes, this isn’t the one for you – but it’s full of character. The living room looks out over the campo and the bell tower of Santo Stefano, which makes sipping pre-dinner drinks at home all the more appealing.

Local guide
About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists. It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub. A lot of the luxury hotels are around here, so it’s not necessarily the place to find authentic, family-run restaurants or cafes. This area’s known for...

Enjoy the Peggy Guggenheim collection
This private collection houses works by key twentieth-century artists including Dalì, Picasso, and Mondrian. The palace it's held in is a marvel in itself.
Taste a Bellini at the Harry's Bar
Harry's Bar is the birthplace of the bellini, and it used to be one of Hemingway's top spots in Venice. As expected, the cocktail offering here is excellent.
Step Back in Time at Caffè Florian
This one is all about location – take a seat at the tables and admire the majesty of San Marco square while you listen to street performers.
See an opera at Teatro la Fenice
Teatro la Fenice's name translates to 'Phoenix Theatre', a name it earned by being burned down twice. Remember to book in advance – most shows sell out.
Photograph the view from the bridge
Ponte dell'Accademia is the southernmost of the four bridges of Venice that cross the Canal Grande, and it offers the best view of the water.
Have an ice cream at Gelateria Nico
Come here especially for the gianduiotto, a swirl of ice cream placed in a glass before being drowned in whipped cream.
Relax in Giardini Reali
Discover this cosy park near the centre of Venice, featuring beautiful flowers, shaded walkways, and plenty of benches to rest and escape the sun. A perfect spot to relax and unwind in the heart of the city.
Explore St. Mark's Square
Iconic square dating back to the 12th century, dominated by the stunning St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.
Make reservations at Bistrot de Venise
An exquisite gem in the heart of Venice, offering authentic Italian cuisine with modern twists. Meticulously prepared dishes, flawless service, and an ambience that captivates.
