What should I bear in mind when booking an apartment?

• Remember that not all apartments will accept pets.


• If you’re travelling to Venice in the winter make sure your flat has a heater – the temperature usually sits at around six degrees at this time of year. On the other hand in the summer air conditioning is a real bonus with average highs of 27 degrees in August.


• Due to the age of Venice’s buildings not all apartments will have a lift, consider your access needs when deciding on this type of accommodation.


• Smoking in our apartments is not allowed. Smokers should look for flats with a terrace or balcony


• For other facilities (such as a washing machine, microwave, coffee machine, TV, DVD player, internet access) a list in the description of each apartment is available in the ‘Equipment’ section.

What are the advantages of choosing a self-catering apartment?

If you’re travelling as a family there are a whole lot of factors that put self-catering apartments ahead of other types of accommodation. There’s the privacy, the cheaper price, the ability to cook your own food, and of course the comfort and security of knowing that everyone is under the same roof.

Similarly if you’re planning to visit Venice as part of a group of friends there are numerous advantages. Excellent prices can be found for large groups, while having a base to cook and relax can lighten the impact on your wallet, allowing you to spend more money on other aspects of your trip. For those planning to sample the city’s nightlife there’s the clear advantage of being able to sleep in the morning without being woken up by room service!

Booking an apartment is usually more expensive than a hotel room if you’re travelling as a couple. But who can put a price on having your own sanctum in the heart of one of the world’s most romantic destinations? When you throw in the unique atmosphere of the city’s quieter streets and the knowledge that you won’t be disturbed throughout your stay, an apartment provides clear advantages for lovers of all ages.

City area guide

• Centre: the heart of the city, here you’ll find almost constant photo opportunities, countless cafés and bars, and of course the Piazza Sant Marco, all situated along the banks of the Grand Canal.


• Santa Croce: this is the area where you’ll find what has to be the world’s most famous bridge, the Ponte De Rialto and great attractions such as the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.


• Dorsoduro: most of this area is residential; it has a more artsy laid back feel compared to other parts of the city. This part of the city is also home to the University of Venice, so expect to see plenty of students during term time (the student crowd also means that this has cheaper coffee shops and places to eat).


• Castello: the winding streets of this area are probably the best place to go if you are looking for something approximating to an authentic experience of the city. The Bienniale Gardens provide the perfect breathing space on this crowded island.


• Cannareggio: If you arrive by train this is the first part of the city that you will come across. Less touristy than other parts of the city, it is primarily a residential district. Filled with history, it was once the location of the city’s Jewish Ghetto, from which the English term ghetto derives.
