Embrace the magic of Venice from this wonderfully chic apartment, right on the Grand Canal. Exploring the city comes with ease here, but you’re far enough from the tourist crowds to get to know the real Venice. Santa Croce is one of the least touristy areas, so you can explore its characteristic restaurants, bars, and more in the residential area. Plus, the bustling Piazzale Roma is a mere 350 metres away. And to visit the city’s notable sights, all you have to do is hop on the vaporetto and you’ll be among the basilicas, museums, and galleries in no time. Of course, you can always walk – it’s a very walkable city, and nothing beats strolling along the atmospheric canals. When you return home after a day on your feet, you’ll love being invited back by the tall ceilings and gorgeous parquet floors, illuminated by the arched windows. Every corner of this home exudes elegance, drawing on the timeless charm of Venice. Here, you can be inspired by the city from your own space and find the beauty in the little things – whether that’s journalling beside the window, trying your hand at a local dish in the kitchen, or sharing... a bottle of wine around the wooden dining table.

About Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia station, the car parks, and the hotels that surround it greet you as you arrive in Venice. This means that the area is quite functional, but while the streets around Piazzale Roma are less prepossessing, northeast of the station are some picturesque gardens and one of the main campuses of Ca' Foscari, the main university in the city.
