Our Apartments in Dorsoduro area

A delightful area in the southern part of Venice, favoured by many an artist, writer, academic and Venice-lover drawn to the world famous museums, fine restaurants and quintessentially Venetian scenes which characterise this much-loved part of the city.
Home to a number of University departments, the colourful Campo San Barnaba and Campo Santa Margherita - one of the city’s largest campos and one of its nicest and popular with students and families who gather to touch base with friends and have fun while enjoying the easy-going ambience of its many cafes, bars and shops. The area is close to many of the city’s major attractions and only a short walk to the district of San Marco via the Accademia Bridge with its spectacular views of the Grand Canal.
