This compact but cosy Venetian apartment is located right in the centre of Venice in the district of Castello and is ideal for those looking to enjoy the city when the crowds are a little less intense and Christmas lights twinkle, reflected on the glassy canals. Suite Casa Nova, in particular, is a great pick as it is in a charming old building but has all mod-cons and boasts an appealing and somewhat eccentric interior. The double bedroom has a little alcove with another single bed and is ideal for a couple or a small family and the larger dining and living area is an inviting place to lounge about and relax. As a whole, it is a great place to return home to, curl up, and get cosy after days of exploring the city during the colder months.
