Boasting a sought-after location with breathtaking rooftop views to boot, we're completely infatuated with this lavish home in the beating heart of Venice. You'll find it tucked away in San Marco. With its labyrinth of slender alleyways and meandering canals bearing an abundance of historical landmarks, this little sestiere is proof that the best things do, in fact, come in small packages. Here, you're a three-minute stroll from Campo Sant'Angelo and within walking distance of the main sights, including St Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge. Inside, it's an aesthete's daydream. High ceilings boast rustic timber beams and floods of natural light, while elegant decor and contemporary comforts promise a want-for-nothing stay. After a restful night's slumber, courtesy of the lavish sleeping quarters, brew espressos in the fully-equipped kitchen before stepping outside onto the terrace. Here, you're nestled in a quaint cluster of terracotta-tiled dwellings, offering a truly unique perspective of the city. We can't think of a better place to start your day than here, serenaded by the bells of Venice as you tuck into breakfast.

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.
Grab a bite at Rosticceria Gislon
Gislon is a cosy local spot with delicious food that won't break the bank.
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.
Cross the canal on the Rialto bridge
There's a reason it's so famous (and so crowded). You might feel apprehensive about the mass of people as you approach, but trust us, it's worth it.
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.
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.
Dine at Da Mamo
This candlelit trattoria is located down a narrow lane and offers some of the best pizza and pasta in Venice. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make it a memorable dining experience.
