The Venetian Getaway

The Hotel Locanda Fiorita in Venice, Italy

Locanda Fiorita

This place on its own tiny campiello off Campo Santo Stefano is like a postcard shot of Venice you can live in: a little 15th century palazzo plastered in deep red, the entrance swamped in flowering wisteria and spiking old-fashioned chimneys into the sky, the simple rooms fitted in 18th-century Venetian style with wood-beamed ceilings and light-filled windows.

Ask when you arrive (they won't reserve them ahead of time) if you can be put in room 1 or room 10, which have little terraces beneath the pergola. The two bathless rooms each have their own private facilities down the hall and come a bit cheaper.

San Marco 3457a, on Campiello Novo
