This traditional apartment sits peacefully in the historic streets of Santa Croce, providing a refreshingly simple space to relax and savour the timeless pleasures of Venetian living. From quiet mornings sipping coffee in the private courtyard to afternoon naps in the air-conditioned bedroom and aperitifs shared as the sunsets, this is the kind of space that perfectly adapts to suit the mood of the moment. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, you’ll find it’s just a short stroll to Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio, while the majestic Rialto Bridge is a ten-minute walk away. Embrace beautiful views, leisurely canal side walks, gondola rides and the vibrant buzz of local bars and restaurants. And for those evenings when you feel like dining at home, make a stop at the local supermarket and create your own Italian-inspired feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Both the courtyard and the dining room provide the perfect spot for intimate candlelit meals.

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...

Visit the Basilica dei Frari
Drink in the atmosphere of one of the most important churches in Venice, where the master painter Titian is buried.
Sip on a Spritz at Bacareto da Lele
Bacareto da Lele is a typical Venice bar with a relaxed vibe where you can join locals from the university enjoying a snack and a drink.
Explore Scuola Grande di San Rocco
The 'scuolas' of Venice were cultural associations, and San Rocco was once the richest one. The opulent insides include frescoes by Tintoretto and more.
Eat fish at Acqua e Mais
Alvise, the owner, had the brilliant idea of offering "scraps" overflowing with fried squid, mixed fry, octopus salad, rice with shrimp. The rest is history.
Eat traditional at Osteria la Zucca
Vegetarian food in Venice isn't usually much to write home about, but this place is the best of the bunch (even its name means pumpkin).
Dinosaurs at the Museo di Storia Naturale
While this is a fairly standard natural history museum, it's a great for children, and the dinosaur fossils are undeniably impressive.
Admire the collection of Ca' Pesaro
This modern art gallery houses 10 rooms and multiple works by Rodin, Kandinskji and De Chirico, to name but a few.
