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.

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.
