It’s hard to choose between the views at this Venetian apartment – its cavernous rooms are full of period details but balconies peek onto a canal below.

On the market via Knight Frank for €2.9m, the piano nobile is spread across 460 sq m in the city’s San Poli neighbourhood and is packed with features. These include traditional wooden-beamed ceilings, terrazzo flooring, and arched windows that lead onto several balconies.

The Venice property has a large reception room and bedroom decorated in an eclectic, bohemian style. Think antique furniture, ceramics and artworks – all displayed beneath towering stuccoed and frescoed ceilings.

Meanwhile, the kitchen offers a different view, peeking onto the building’s internal courtyard. It also leads to a gallery where a marble staircase accesses three bedrooms.
