Overlooking the canal in laid-back Castello, this traditional apartment is in a prime spot for exploring Venice. It's perfect for those in town visiting the famous Biennale, as both the Arsenale and the Giardini della Biennale are less than a ten-minute walk away. There are shops, cafes and eateries aplenty on Via Garibaldi – just around the corner – while landmarks like St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge are also easily reached on foot. After a long day out and about, come home and unwind in the cosy living area. Kick off your shoes and sink into the squishy corner sofa with a glass of wine or let your culinary skills shine in the compact kitchen – it's small, but it's equipped with enough crockery to rustle up something delicious. Wooden beams, antique knick-knacks and shelves lined with worldly trinkets and well-thumbed books give the space a homely, warm atmosphere. And although the bedrooms and bathrooms are more simply styled and some of the furniture is a tad dated, the excellent location more than makes up for it.

Home truths

A cot for little ones can also be provided on request
This home is on the second floor without a lift – you'll have to climb stairs
The wifi can be patchy, so we wouldn't suggest this apartment as a base to work from home

Although this is right on the canal, it is relatively quiet at night – that said, just in case

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...
