Heaven rent

Casilda Grigg

Palazzo San Polo, Venice, Italy

This gorgeously whimsical apartment is owned by a globetrotting Contessa. Packed with antiques and curios, it has a gallery bedroom with theatrical, baroque touches. There's even a private marble chapel off the kitchen. The location, in a central yet untouristy part of the city, is fabulous - you can take a water taxi right up to the villa.

Details of this apartment are available on request.
