The Oyster Shell

Cute, quirky, and bijou, this stylish three-bedroom apartment spread over three floors of a traditional Venetian building in the heart of Venice’s bustling San Marco neighbourhood offers a comfortable base for discovering the best of this unique city. We especially love the authentic wooden beams that give the space character and think the south-facing terrace off the master bedroom provides the perfect place to sip a morning coffee and plan the day ahead. Step outside the home and you will find a host of independent shops, cosy cafes, and restaurants serving mouth-watering Italian fayre, while the world-famous Rialto Bridge and the sprawling Piazza San Marco are within easy reach too. Water bus and Gondola services are also easily accessible.

Home truths:
*The entrance to this home is on the third floor, and the home itself is spread over three floors with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *There is another similar apartment available to rent in the same building, perfect if you are travelling as part of a larger group but still want some space and privacy *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Please note that one can only access the small single bedroom on the top floor through the second double room
