Canal-front Charms: Apartments With The Best Canal Views In Venice

Venice, the “City of Canals,” promises to whisper romantic songs about gondola rides.

In Venice, a city of canals, we hear the tiny whispers about gondola rides on the sea and old bridges that have so much history attached to them. Yet for the ultimate experience, imagine getting up to find water hitting your window, gondoliers singing as they pass by and sunbeams dancing on a sparkling surface. That is what canal-front apartments mean.

For most people owning (or even renting!) a canal-front Venetian dream home is a fantasy. However, with the limited availability and skyrocketing prices around the place it is important to know where exactly one can get these villas at. Therefore, pack your wanderlust; we are embarking on an online adventure through some of Venice’s most stunning canal-front apartments.

1. Grand Canal Grandeur:

Ca' del Doge, a sixteenth century palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal, takes you into Venetian aristocracy . Frescoed ceilings, marble flooring and old-fashioned furniture will make you feel like you are stepping back in time in Venice.

On the balcony sip espresso as gondolas sing beneath the Rialto Bridge, marvel at the ‘Canal Grande’. Besides being fit for royalty (or feeling like it), Ca’ Del Doge is pure Venetian magic.

2. Hidden Gem on Rio Della Tana:

Dorsoduro Sestiere is a tourist desert yet full of hidden surprises. It is a place where one can find several romantic escapes from the madding crowd and soak up some genuine Venetian tradition all around Dorsoduro Sestiere or neighborhood. Rio Della Tana Jewel nestles on a picturesque canal with views of gondolas floating below ancient bridges that’s an ideal spot to spend your weekend or vacation.

3. Modern Marvels on the Giudecca Canal:
