Description Rialto Echoes: Venezia

Perched above the canals in a 15th-century palazzo, this apartment gets top marks for location. The much-visited Rialto Bridge and its equally charming market are both within a ten-minute walk – perfect for those planning to do some sightseeing. Back home, the design is understated but packed with character. Expect Venetian marble floors, blown-glass chandeliers, and a small balcony overlooking St. Agostin Square. Both the bedroom and living area offer views of the canals. There's also a communal garden for sundowners, which is an added bonus.
