Over The Canal

Simple and elegant, this apartment in beautiful Venice is just a five-minute walk from St Mark's Square, making it the perfect starting point from which to explore this floating city. Retire to a calming, canal-side pad, with Venetian-style wood beams and neutral tones, and kick back after a long day of exploring. Modern furnishings add an extra level of comfort, while the sleek kitchen has everything you need for rustling up breakfast, come morning.

Of course, self-catering isn't on the cards, there's a sprinkling of cosy restaurants, wine bars and cafes right on your doorstep. You're within walking distance from many of the most celebrated landmarks and attractions, including the Biennale Gardens (ten minutes) and the stunning Rialto Bridge (twelve minutes).
