Bursting with charm, this loft-style apartment is the ideal place to call home during a trip to Venice. Located right in the heart of the city, you can kick back and relax in style between your adventures. Step inside, and you'll find a beautiful space with sloping wooden ceilings and red marble floors. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook up your favorite Italian meals, and you can serve your culinary creations under the light of the chandelier. And, after you've finished eating, it's time to unwind on the sofa with a glass of wine as you plan your itinerary for the following day. It's easy to tick off your sightseeing list from here, as many of the city's most iconic attractions are close by. Walk to the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art in just seven minutes, before wandering to the Palazzo Grassi – it's just fifteen minutes away. And, if you want to explore the city via water taxi, then hop on a boat at the Riva de Biasio stop – it's right outside your front door.

Home truths
It's on the third floor and there is a lift up to the second floor, so some stairs are unavoidable
The two single beds can be converted to a double bed on request
The partitions between the rooms do not reach full ceiling height so it is not the most private home
Some of the rooms have sloping roofs, so be careful if you are tall
The washer and dryer are located in a communal ground floor laundry room
Upon arrival, a representative will meet you at the Vaporetto stop – water taxi point – and accompany you to the property where they’ll check you in, and provide any assistance you should need

Local guide
About Rialto
Rialto is right in the middle of Venice’s other main districts – it doesn't really get more central than this. It’s a favourite with tourists, particularly as its less hectic than San Marco (this is all relative though – everywhere in Venice is packed). It’s intersected by many small intertwining canals, which make for good views and plenty of opportunity for gondola rides, if that's your cup of tea. Perhaps...

While this is a fairly standard natural history museum, it's a great for children, and the dinosaur fossils are undeniably impressive.
