Tucked down an alleyway in Venice's artsy Dorsoduro district, this apartment is a sweet retreat in a city famous for its heavy footfall. The main drawback is the lack of canal views, although you're just a short stroll from the water here. The Juliet balcony is a nice touch, and we like the traditional decor, even if it won't suit everyone's tastes. Part of a typical Venetian building, there's no lift here, so prepare to climb steps to reach the second floor – we suggest packing light. Nearby, you've historic buildings and a plethora of museums to explore, not to mention plenty of bars and eateries within walking distance.
