I'd want it to be a wealthy, culturally active city with a small area of influence and well protected from external threaths. Bonus points for aesthetic architecture and natural environment.
So, for ancient cities I guess my best bet would be a roman client kingship for some city in Anatolia or Gallia Narbonensis.
But actually I think the comfiest scenario would be an early modern mitteleuropean city (since you mention Venice). Some place like Fribourg en Nuithonie in the 16th/17th century would be ideal.
