Something in the Way

Just outside the city centre, a twenty-minute walk from the shopping streets of Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, this stylish and sophisticated home is comfortable and homey, with a personality all of its own. Anything but ordinary, it's set in a traditional building and it's been styled with creativity and love.

Boasting a private balcony big enough to sit out on with your aperitivo, and a big wall of windows in the living room, it looks out over a green courtyard. Inside, you'll find high ceilings, a working fireplace, and a variety of designer furniture and vintage pieces. Mixed together with eclectic wall art and a library of books, it's a creative wonderland – and could be perfect if you'll be working remotely during your stay. There's a well-equipped kitchen, with its own tiny balcony, and two peaceful bedrooms – one of which can be used as an office or snug – plus typically classy Italian bathrooms. Best of all is the little extra touches that make this place feel like home. There's a Bluetooth sound system, weights, a yoga mat and plenty more.
