A stay in central Venice is given quite the upgrade when you choose this wonderful apartment. Classical decor, quaint art pieces and elegant furniture all come together to give the space that old-fashioned grandeur that makes it such a delight to stay in. But don't get us wrong – this home still has all the modern amenities you'll need for a home-from-home stay, with a fully-equipped kitchen for you to cook up delicious Italian pasta dishes, plus a gorgeous lounge area with a TV for you to spend a lazy evening with a glass of limoncello. Each guest that stays here will have their own en-suite bathroom too. When you're ready to venture out, you'll find yourself perfectly placed for exploring this iconic city. The home is just a two-minute walk from the nearest waterbus stop where you can reach the Piazzale Roma, as well as the Santa Lucia train station for when you want to explore further. And of course, there's also a whole myriad of trendy eateries and fun bars right on your doorstep.
