When considering where to stay in Venice the best options are in the heart of the city, where history, art, and culture are within walking distance. Neighborhoods like San Marco, Dorsoduro, and San Polo offer proximity to famous attractions such as St. Mark’s Basilica and the Rialto Bridge, making them ideal for first-time visitors. These central areas provide a convenient base to explore the city's museums, landmarks, and local restaurants.
For a more intimate experience, choose an apartment along Venice’s serene canals. Staying in a canal-front property offers a picturesque and authentic Venetian experience, allowing you to wake up to gondolas gliding by and enjoy stunning views right from your window. This is the quintessential way to immerse yourself in Venice's romantic charm.

Are there any taxes or fees to consider when staying in Venice?
Yes, when staying in Venice, there are additional taxes to consider. The most common is the Venice City Tax , which is charged per night based on the type of accommodation and its location within the city. This tax is typically paid upon check-in or check-out and may vary depending on the time of year.
It's always a good idea to verify any additional fees when booking, as luxury accommodations may have different policies. You can find detailed information about current taxes and fees through the official Venice tourism website or your booking confirmation.
How to get to Venice?

If you’re traveling by train, Venice's Santa Lucia station is the main hub, located conveniently at the edge of the Grand Canal. For those arriving by car, the city is car-free, but luxury parking facilities are available at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, where you can then transfer to a private boat or vaporetto (water bus) to reach your destination.

To fully enjoy the luxurious experiences Venice has to offer, a stay of 3 to 5 days is ideal. This allows ample time to explore the city’s major attractions, such as St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, while also giving you the chance to enjoy more exclusive activities, like a private gondola ride, a bespoke tour of Venice’s lesser-known neighborhoods, or a day trip to the nearby islands of Murano and Burano.
