WHERE TO STAY IN VENICE TO LIVE LIKE A VENETIAN

There’s a Venice that everyone knows — gondolas on the Grand Canal, the crowds in St. Mark’s Square, and the glittering lights reflected on the lagoon.
And then there’s another Venice: quieter, poetic, and deeply human. It’s the Venice of early mornings, when the canals are still, and the only sound is the gentle splash of oars.

To truly experience this side of the city, you need more than a place to sleep — you need a place that lets you live like a Venetian.
That place is Dimora Canal Fenice, a refined residence tucked away by a peaceful canal just steps from Teatro La Fenice.

From here, you can reach St. Mark’s Square in minutes, yet return each evening to a peaceful canal-side retreat.
