Give loft-style living a whirl at this high-style Venice apartment set in the characterful design district. Perched next to the leafy gardens of the Biennal and just a twenty-minute passeggiata along the Riva degli Schiavoni to St. Mark's Square, the location is spot on. And when it's time to say adieu, getting to the airport is a breeze, with the waterbus just a two-minute stroll from your door. Back home, while the old bones of this characterful home remain with its lofty roof gables and exposed stonework, everywhere else has been expertly reimagined to create a sleek city bolthole. We're into the muted monochrome palette and oh-so-Italian terrazzo floors of the main bedroom suite with a dressing room. And tucked away in the eaves up a flight of stairs, there are two cosy single-bedroom nooks – perfect for teenagers or friends sharing. While back downstairs in the living space, there's everything you could need to rustle up a light bite to eat in the smart, newly-refurbished kitchen. Though with charming tavernas and wine bars just a hop, skip, and a jump away, we wouldn't blame you for eating out each night instead.

Local guide
About Castello
Castello represents a cluster of islands at the eastern edge of Venice’s centre. It’s a quieter side of Venice, without too many tourists. All this changes, however, during the Biennale. This behemoth of the art world takes place in odd-numbered years, and is housed in the former shipyards that give the quarter its name. When the exhibition isn't on, you’ll find museums and ornate churches to explore, and an abundance...
