Vine Oasis

Featured in the London Evening Standard’s Home and Property pages, this beautiful home in Venice’s Dorsoduro neighbourhood is an oasis of sun-dappled calm in the city.

Boasting a glorious private garden, you’ll feel perfectly serene as you enjoy an aperitivo and an alfresco meal beneath the large vine-covered pergola or while catching some rays on the deck chairs on sunny afternoons.

Inside, the decor is an elegant blend of Old World charm and rustic chic, with beamed ceilings in the cream-coloured living area and three classically-styled bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. We love the main bedroom’s luxurious tub and the rainfall showers in the other two bathrooms too.

While you could easily spend all day in your swish pad, go out and explore the many sights around you. You’re a three-minute walk from the grand Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a four-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, while bustling St. Mark's Square is fifteen minutes away on foot and by water bus. With your host able to organise a plethora of fun and activities too – including wine tastings, cooking classes, city tours and skippered boat excursions to the Venetian Lagoon – you can be sure to experience Venice in style.
