Gothic Waterside Retreat

Gothic Waterside Retreat: Veneto

Why not stay in the 15th-century San Marco palazzo of the former Doge Francesco Molin? This historic apartment is now a modern base for busy travellers, promising handy water doors that let you get around Venice's canals like a local. Under vaulted ceilings, a studio bedroom awaits off the living area to sleep guests three and four on a sofa bed. No sunbathing or alfresco dining is allowed in the communal courtyard, but you'll be just a stone's throw from Teatro La Fenice and St. Mark's Square.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the studio bedroom off the living area. *This home is located on a palazzo. Picnics, dining, and sunbathing are not permitted in the shared on-site courtyard and hallway. *You'll have direct access to water doors, where guests can arrive and depart by private water taxis. Parking in Venice can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *For larger groups, this home can be booked in conjunction with another home in the building. Please speak with your host. *Babysitter recommendations are available.
