If you have considered a trip to Venice this year, look up VeniceApartmentsItaly.com which offers a number of luxurious apartments in Venice’s historical centre, many with canal views.

Apartments serve as a great alternative to hotel accommodation, offering greater privacy and independence, as well as more space, usually at a much more competitive rate.

Among the VeniceApartmentsItaly.com portfolio is this first floor apartment with panoramic views of the Grand Canal, the Venice Casino and other historic Ventian buildings. From here you’ll enjoy a prime view as gondolas, waterbuses and other boats go about their daily business.

This holiday rental property, situated close to the ‘Guglie’ waterbus stop, consists of two double bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower, a large living room with a Queen sofa bed and dining table, and a well-equipped kitchen – not forgetting, of course, the great view of the Grand Canal. In total, it can accommodate up to 8 people.

Daily fish and vegetable markets are only a short stroll away, as our shops, bars and restaurants should you wish to venture out.

Alternatively, how about this penthouse just a few minutes’ walk from Saint Mark’s Square? This spacious property occupies the top floor of a Gothic building with superb views from a sun-drenched roof terrace out towards the island of Saint George and the entire basin of Saint Mark.

Sleeping 4-6 people, it has two double bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, a very spacious living room with a sofa bed for 2. Exposed beams, air conditioning, internet and a fully-equipped kitchen complete the offering.

With VeniceApartmentsItaly.com, the best price is guaranteed, you pay only for the accommodation (so no booking fees) and – with most apartments – there is a free cancellation policy. For independent reviews, you can look them up on Trustpilot.
