Description Electric Youth: Venezia

Housed in a former thermal power plant built in the 1930s, this home situated alongside one of Venice’s canals, has a private balcony perfect for outdoor entertaining. There’s an upside-down layout here with the living space above the bedrooms, so there are stairs to climb. You can live like a local in this apartment’s neighbourhood – it’s a five-minute stroll to Cannaregio, with its variety of restaurants and bars, as well as the Guglie area. When you want to explore further – to Venice Lido Beach, for example – the transport hub of Piazzale Roma is a seven-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*There are stairs to climb here

*The closest water bus stop is called “Ferrovia”, from which Line 1 takes you to Rialto Bridge, San Marco and the Lido

*Your host has other properties here, and you may be able to book them together to accommodate larger groups – please ask for more information
*This place does not accept bookings from groups of young people (up to 18 years old)
*The decor is simple but we've made an exception to let this one into the collection on account of its cool location in Venice
