Prepare to live La Dolce Vita in this stunning waterfront home. You and your loved ones will enjoy the incredible views over the gleaming Giudecca Canal, towards Redentore Church, without even setting a foot outside. Inside impresses too, with parquet floors, designer furniture and a sleek modern kitchen. The private terrace offers beautiful views over Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a perfect place to soak up the Venetian sun with an espresso in the mornings. When you're ready to head off exploring, take a stroll around your elegant Dorsoduro neighbourhood – the Michelin guide-featured Lineadombra restaurant is just two doors down. Then, seek out some of the city's famous sights. You’re a four-minute waterbus trip from St Mark’s Square and a five-minute walk from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. After a day out, ease into your evening in the luxurious sauna, before alfresco drinks by moonlight.
