Description Tintoretto's Courtyard: Venice

Tucked away down a quiet street in Cannaregio, this sophisticated Venetian apartment is an oasis of calm in the heart of the Serenissima. Boasting a secluded communal courtyard and private terrace – ideal for early evening aperitivos – this elegant homestay is the perfect setting for your next group holiday, offering plenty of space to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. Put your feet up in the cosy living room where simple furniture is brought to life by unique design accents, or settle into the master bedroom and feast on views of the historic Madonna dell'Orto.

When it’s time to explore, you’re just twenty minutes from St Mark’s Square, which is easily accessible both on foot and by water taxi. Spend your afternoon visiting the city’s most famous attractions – think St. Mark's Basilica and Palazzo Ducale – or settle in at a café in the square and watch the world go by.
