We have visited Venice on numerous occasions and this house has always been closed to the public. It is now open and for 7 Euro's per person is a little pricey, but to wander up the spiral stairs and the view from the top is excellent. There is also a room on the way up with some art to break up the walk up!! Enjoy worth a visit. This is one of those sites that most tourists will never see.

If you dream a nice house it is difficult to imagine something more beautiful than this. A normal palace like many others in Venice, but with the genius mark of a great architect.

Not a lot of people fancy the trek upstairs, it's tough. Still, the view at the top makes it all the more satisfying. It's paid entry, and students do get a discount.

Although it took a while to figure out how to find this especially when you end up down very narrow passageways with no one else in sight, it really is very beautiful to see when you do eventually get there.

This building is said to be the most beautiful staircase in the world - and justifiably so. Not the easiest to find but well worth the effort.
