Venice: city of style
Katharine Hadley
...Those who prefer privacy can hire their own corner of a palazzo. Venetian Apartments offers wonderfully luxurious palazzo apartments with balconies onto the Grand Canal
Or you can stay in Sir Reresby Sitwell's charming little house a stone's throw from the Accademia art gallery, near tempting Venetian antique furniture shops, the Fortuny fabric outlet, and just around the corner from the Rubelli fabric headquarters in the family's palazzo.
Excellent fresh food is available from the market just by the Rialto bridge. And it's worth remembering that ordinary Venetians shop and dine along the Cannaregio, charming and free of tourists.
