It's no secret what this apartment's best feature is — once you head up to the rooftop terrace and gaze out over the pretty view of Venice's domes, campaniles and turrets, you'll be as smitten with the outside space as we are. That being said, this home isn't just a one-trick pony. The interior's sloping, wooden-beamed ceilings are a nod to the city's long and illustrious history, but otherwise, the design is impeccably contemporary, with shiny tiling, a minimalist kitchen and transparent dining chairs all combining to great effect. The open-concept layout adds a real sense of space, too. When you want to see some of the city's landmarks, you really don't have far to go. The Natural History Museum lies a minute's walk around the corner and the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art only rakes five minutes on foot to reach. If you want to check out Doge's Palace, that's only twenty minutes away, too.
