St Mark’s Square is undoubtedly one of the most iconic squares in Europe. This elegant piazza has been standing strong since medieval times, and to this day still fits its famous description as ‘the drawing room of Europe’. With a majestic basilica and elegant shops and cafés surrounding these 12th-century paving stones, it’s a sight you simply cannot miss – especially when your apartment is ten minutes away. This sophisticated home offers more modern interiors than its ancient neighbouring buildings. We love the sophisticated colour scheme in the bright living space, where greys and blues feel reminiscent of the main feature of the city – its canals. Kick back on one of the rich, teal velvet armchairs with your morning coffee, and open the windows to hear the sounds of the city waking below. Or you could perch at the balconette to feel even more like you're living the Venetian lifestyle. For an extra element of luxe, your hosts will be on hand to help you arrange restaurant reservations or city tours during your stay. Although that said, it’s just as easy to stroll to the nearest vaporetto stop to take your own boat trip, only two minutes away.

Local guide
About San Marco
San Marco is probably the most well-known of Venice’s main districts, and the most popular among tourists. It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub. A lot of the luxury hotels are around here, so it’s not necessarily the place to find authentic, family-run restaurants or cafes. This area’s known for...

Enjoy the Peggy Guggenheim collection
This private collection houses works by key twentieth-century artists including Dalì, Picasso, and Mondrian. The palace it's held in is a marvel in itself.
Taste a Bellini at the Harry's Bar
Harry's Bar is the birthplace of the bellini, and it used to be one of Hemingway's top spots in Venice. As expected, the cocktail offering here is excellent.
Step Back in Time at Caffè Florian
This one is all about location – take a seat at the tables and admire the majesty of San Marco square while you listen to street performers.
Grab a bite at Rosticceria Gislon
Gislon is a cosy local spot with delicious food that won't break the bank.
See an opera at Teatro la Fenice
Teatro la Fenice's name translates to 'Phoenix Theatre', a name it earned by being burned down twice. Remember to book in advance – most shows sell out.
Photograph the view from the bridge
Ponte dell'Accademia is the southernmost of the four bridges of Venice that cross the Canal Grande, and it offers the best view of the water.
Cross the canal on the Rialto bridge
There's a reason it's so famous (and so crowded). You might feel apprehensive about the mass of people as you approach, but trust us, it's worth it.
Have an ice cream at Gelateria Nico
Come here especially for the gianduiotto, a swirl of ice cream placed in a glass before being drowned in whipped cream.
Explore St. Mark's Square
Iconic square dating back to the 12th century, dominated by the stunning St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.
Dine at Da Mamo
This candlelit trattoria is located down a narrow lane and offers some of the best pizza and pasta in Venice. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make it a memorable dining experience.
