The Doge's Canal

Sitting on the top floor of a historic palazzo, this apartment in Venice’s Castello district offers spectacular canal views, as well as a pair of terraces. With one outdoor space equipped with an alfresco dining set and the other a rooftop space decked out in sun chairs, you can soak up the sun to your heart’s content all while taking in the striking scenery around you. Inside, frescoed ceilings, a four-poster bed and antique-inspired furnishings caught our eye, and while at full capacity one guest will need to sleep on the sofa bed, a pair of bathrooms keep morning routines running smoothly before heading out to see the countless sights nearby.
