This charming loft space in Venice was once a boatyard – it's been converted to a high standard, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. We love the elegant decor of this home and its canal views, as well as the private water door giving guests access to a library room. The kitchen is small but has all the necessary electrical appliances – though there are a number of bars and restaurants nearby should you prefer to eat out. There are lots of well-known landmarks within easy walking distance too – Campo Santa Margherita is just two minutes away and the Accademia Bridge is a five-minute walk from the property.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.
