The Locanda Ai Santi Apostoli in Venice is not a classic "outdoor spot," but a real insider tip for interior photography and probably the most authentic view of the Grand Canal. It is a boutique hotel in a 14th-century palazzo that exudes exactly the elegance one seeks on Instagram under the hashtag "Old Money Aesthetic."

The Highlight: The View of the Grand Canal
The absolute centerpiece for photographers is the central salon (Portego) on the Piano Nobile.

The Windows: The huge, Venetian arched windows offer an unobstructed view of the Grand Canal and the opposite palazzi.

The Motif: A model sitting by the window with a cup of coffee while gondolas pass by outside – that's Venice content in perfection.

Light: Since the windows face southwest, warm, golden light floods in during the afternoon.
