Romantic, chic, and so central you're knocking shoulders with St Mark's Basilica. This home couldn't be more perfect for exploring Venice. The ancient apartment has retained the building's traditional wooden beams and exposed brick, a taste of true Venetian charm. The old and the new blend seamlessly with sleek marble walls, plush furnishings, and luxurious chromotherapy showers. Sip coffee on your private terrace and enjoy one of life's greatest pleasures – people watching. In such a central location, you won't run out of things to do in a hurry. You can see the city by vaporetto, or you're well situated to take it on foot. Simply meandering around this city, gaping at the dramatic Gothic architecture, is a lovely way to experience Venice. A great example is Ca' D'Oro – one of the oldest palaces in the city, just a nine-minute walk away. You can also explore the highly detailed, baroque architecture of San Salvador. The 16th-century Catholic church is just three minutes away on foot, and utterly captivating. There's so much beauty to take in, right on your doorstep – Santa Maria Della Fava, Querini Stampalia, Palazzo Grimani, and so many more, are within a ten-minute walk away. When your feet can no... longer carry you, take yourself home and relax. Rinse off the city in the chromotherapy shower – the lights are bound to wake you up! Relax on the terrace, sipping a glass of local wine, nibbling on an assortment of antipasto, and looking out onto the city view and the lovers gliding past on the gondolas beneath you.
