13 Best Airbnbs in Venice, From Tiny Alleyway Apartments to Palazzos
It’s easy to see why everyone wants to go to Venice. This floating city, made up of 118 islands stitched together by over 400 bridges, is unlike anywhere else on earth. Here, gondolas float past your window, the main square hovers on the water, and the train station turfs you out onto the Grand Canal. Most people come for two things: Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge, where a food market has sat in its shadow since medieval times. But, beautiful as both are, there’s more to Venice than that. This is a city where artisans practice centuries-old trades, where streets expand into quiet campi (squares), and where dozens of churches house world-class works of Renaissance art. Stay longer, and you’ll have time to explore the empty streets and remote islands that make Venice one of the most magical places on the planet.
Alongside a centuries-old hotel scene, there are now thousands of Airbnbs in Venice, from small pied-à-terres to flamboyant apartments in ancient palazzos. Remember that Venice is a fragile city that struggles with overtourism, so make sure you contribute positively during your stay by eating at locally owned restaurants and buying something from those artisans to take home as a memory of your trip of a lifetime. Whether you’re looking for a small apartment near Rialto or a magnificent palazzo, you’ll find something for you in our list of the best Airbnbs in Venice.
