On the border between Santa Croce and San Polo, this stylish apartment offers the ultimate Venice experience. Every window offers views of the canal, and the home can be easily reached via water taxi, making it a convenient option for exploring the city. The interiors are colourful and contemporary, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen if you prefer to eat at home. The highlight here, however, is the little wooden terrace. Directly on the water, it’s a great spot for a couple to spend their evenings.
