The apartment is located in the heart of Venice: in the elegant Dorsoduro district. In it, just across the Grand Canal from San Marco, Venice feels suddenly quieter, more like an island and distinctly less touristy. Surrounded on three sides by large bodies of water - St. Mark's Basin and both the Giudecca and the Grand Canal - this is the neighborhood that was the scene for 'Summer time,' David Lean's effusive 1955 film starring Katharine Hepburn It is a dramatic peninsula, a spectacular Baroque skyline crowned by the magnificent dome of Santa Maria Della Salute, crisscrossed with narrow canals, narrower alleyways and particularly congenial squares and walled gardens. Campo Santa Margherita, with its cafes, fish market and wine shop. Dorsoduro, with its art colleges and university, has long been home to artists, designers, writers and educators.
