Canal Song

Canal Song: Veneto

Straddling San Marco and Castello, this Venetian apartment is as central as it gets. You’re just a two-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge here – not that you’d know it thanks to your quiet surroundings – and the home even overlooks one of Venice’s iconic waterways, though you may be better off elsewhere if it’s views of the Grand Canal you’re after. There’s even a private roof terrace for enjoying an evening cocktail or two, and when it comes to sleeping arrangements, one of the double beds can be split into two singles for extra flexibility.

Home truths:
*You'll have to climb two flights of stairs here, so this home may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*The second bedroom can be made up as either a double or twin room
*There's no oven at this home, so you may prefer to use the kitchen for light bites rather than large meals
*The nearest supermarket is a minute's walk away
*There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
