Tucked away in a charming palazzetto at the meeting point of the three sestieri – Castello, Cannaregio and San Marco – this apartment puts you right at the heart of Venice's action. You won’t exactly feel like a local here – the decor’s a little too generic for that – but you’ll be within easy reach of all the hotspots, as well as plenty of restaurants dishing up hearty Italian fare. Even better, your host can arrange a plethora of extras for an additional fee – from cooking classes to private chefs and guided tours – giving you the chance to fully immerse yourself in Venetian living.

Home truths
The understated decor here might not be to everyone's taste. Though cosy, it feels a little dated in parts.
This home is situated on the second floor, which isn't accessible by lift. For this reason, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
The air conditioning and heating are subject to municipal regulations. Generally, the heating works from mid-October to mid-April, while air conditioning works from mid-April to mid-October.
The dining table is slightly small for four people, so we'd recommend sticking to light bites when eating in. If you're after something heartier, there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
The nearest supermarket is a short walk away if you need to top up on essentials.
