A Best Kept Secret

A Best Kept Secret: Veneto

With its own terrace jealously hidden behind brick walls and bordered by a canal, this Dorsoduro home is perfect for those looking for their own secret garden in the heart of Venice. Upstairs, both bedrooms have balconies overlooking the terrace that create the sense you're in your own private world. That said, you won't be disappointed if you head out – you don't need to walk for long before you spot a famous landmark or find a delicious local eatery.

Home truths:
*This home is spread over two floors. For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *The indoor dining table has benches rather than chairs which might not be comfortable for everyone.
