Charming property in central historical Venice

In central historical Venice, a few steps from St. Mark’s Square, the very center of the town. The apartment is on the first floor of a XVI century palace with private water entrance. It's very comfortable in size (around 1615 sqft).

It has three bedrooms (a master bedroom and two large single rooms), a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room with a new big sofa and two armchairs. It has two bathrooms (the master one with the bath and shower, the second one with the shower). It is furnished with antique Venetian style furniture.

The apartment looks out on one side on to a small courtyard with a Romanesque well-head and the extraordinary view of St. Mark’s bell tower and on the other on to three typical inner canals and a stone bridge right in front of the living room window.

A perfect location in Venice
This apartment is located very near both San Marco and Rialto, and all the sites there. It is the perfect location from which to explore all the beauties of Venice. The apartment itself is well appointed, clean and comfortable, and Carlo and Monica are great hosts. This is our second stay and we found it as delightful as the first. We will book again when in Venice. I highly recommend!

Great property rental. Easy walking to greater Venice. We all loved it. Me and 4 girl friends spent 3 days of our trip there. Mostly ate our meals "out", but was close to grocery shopping and all other shopping and tours also. Loved it.

Charming and you can’t beat the location!
If you’re wanting a central location with easy access to pretty much anywhere in Venice, this property is ideal. A short walk to St. Mark’s or to Realto to catch the vaperatto anywhere. The property is charming and canal views can’t be beat. It is an older property but for us, that was part of the charm. And I can’t forget…amazing gelato right around the corner!

Amazing place on the canals
We stayed for three nights. The apt was as spacious. It was really fun to watch the gondolas turn the corner of the canals. Carlo was an attentive host. We also did a tour with his wife and it was well worth the price. Learned a lot from Monica.

Immersed in Venice
We loved our stay here. It is close to San Marco Square and very convenient to the famous Rialto Bridge. Carlos met us exactly where he said he would. He was friendly and very funny. The beds were comfortable, sheets and towels were clean. You are right on the canal. Views were picture perfect. We booked a tour with Monica and she took us around Venice. She is extremely charming, warm and inviting like the apartment. We appreciated her knowledge of the city too. I would recommend this place if you want to be immersed in Venice.

Fabulous beyond words!
The location was ideal, the furnishings were elegant but also very comfortable, and the host was very responsive throughout the entire process. Brother-in-law Luca who helped us check in provided many helpful suggestions and was most gracious. The views from the windows were even better than in the posted photographs. The canal outside of the living room and master bedroom was the route for the gondolas- so we often heard musicians performing as they floated past us. Stay here and you will have the ultimate Venetian experience. On a practical note - market and coffee shops close by, plenty of hot water and wonderful showers,WiFi worked really well, very very spacious, air-conditioner in the master bedroom kept us cool in the unseasonably warm weather. We will definitely want to stay here on our next trip to Venice! Thank you, Carlo!

Excellent location on canal
We really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO in Venice this last week of July! It is right on the canal and you can look out your windows and see and hear the gondola's going by. Nice to have two bathrooms with showers in each and three bedrooms for our family of 5. The property gives you plenty of space and is decorated so beautifully. The airport lost our luggage and had to deliver to our VRBO that evening. The property managers were so helpful with making sure we got it and understanding that we were a little late meeting them because if it. I would definitely recommend this property!

Wonderful canal views!
This very spacious apartment is perfectly located down a quiet alley with a private courtyard in the heart of all Venice has to offer. The canal views were absolutely incredible from every window (except the bedroom on the courtyard). Watching the gondolas from our window was the favorite part of our stay! The antique furnishings and the space look exactly like the photos. However, the description is misleading by listing air conditioning as an amenity. Upon arrival, Luca informed us about a policy that the air conditioning cannot be turned on until June 15 (we were staying from June 11-14). I would not have booked this apartment had I known that. As a result, the windows needed to be open most of the time which led to a struggle with mosquitoes and early morning noise. This is a very busy canal and is extremely loud beginning at sunrise at 5:30am every morning. With the windows open, it was impossible to sleep through the loud work boats. Also, the 9:45am check-out time was a strain on us, but Luca allowed us to leave our bags in the lobby until noon.

Gondola View
A wonderful stay in Venice; it was tempting to just sit in the living room and watch the gondolas go by. The location is great; one minute to Piazza San Marco and two minutes to Rialto, with only one bridge in each direction. Despite the throngs of tourists in Venice, the apartment located down a quiet alley provided a welcome break from the crowds. Located above a 4-way canal intersection, there was no doubt we were in Venice. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well-furnished with beautiful antiques, and the small kitchen allowed us to have breakfast with a view each morning. Our terrific host, Carlo, was friendly, helpful, and responsive and helped make our stay more enjoyable. The apartment is perfect for a small family; we recommend highly.

Large enough for family with adult children
The place is by a very busy canal and next to a hotel. Therefore traffic and noises begin 5:30 am to deliver goods to the hotel & water taxi to pick up & drop off visitors. I would close the windows to get a good night rest and to avoid the mosquitoes. Then use the fan to cool off. I would not use the Rialto Bridge to meet the host (per his request). I would use the station by the Piazza San Marco. This will cut downs on the hundreds steps. The apartment is on the first floor which you need to take another 15(?) steps. The apartment was nice and large enough for my family of 5 (all adults). This apartment is not suitable for children so they don't damage the place. As some items look very fragile. The host will ask for your passport upon arrival to take photos. Hope that helps and enjoy Venice. Our family did. Bon Voyage!

Perfect Venice experience
This apartment is located in the heart of Venice, with beautiful canal views and is the perfect location for exploring Venice on foot. It is minutes from San Marco, but when we stayed in January, it was a peaceful and comfortable oasis. The apartment was perfect for four adults. It was clean, with a well appointed kitchen for preparing meals and coffee, although there are numerous good restaurants, cafes and pasticcerias in the neighborhood. Carlo and Monica were great hosts. We took an an amazing tour of the outer islands with Monica, and Carlo's instructions on how to use the Moka worked well and it was delicious! The beds were comfortable and the water hot, just needs a bit of time time come up to temperature. The sounds of Venice life coming from the boats on the canal just added to the ambiance. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to explore Venice and experience its daily life.

Huge apartment with Venetian Charm
We recently stayed in Monica and Carlo’s apartment during our vacation in Venice. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Communication with either Monica or Carlo prior to arrival was fantastic. Day of our arrival, Luca (Monica’s brother) met us at the water taxi to help us with our luggage and show us to the apartment and get us checked in. We were floored when we arrived, this apartment was once Monica and Luca’s family home and it is not only large, but it is filled with lovely antiques and decor. It surrounds you in old world charm while you stay. We stayed as a family of four, with our two teenage boys and everyone had their own space. While the apartment itself is lovely and large, it is the views outside your windows that is the show stopper. Almost every window in the apartment overlooks the canals. (It is located where four canals meet) We laughed during our stay watching floods of people stopping to take photos of the bridges and boats and gondola’s on the canal in this beautiful spot, while we just had to look out our window. It definitely is a true Venice experience and views that you will not get anywhere else. Monica is a licensed tour guide, so we pre-booked her for two tours with our family. First, to give us a city tour one afternoon and then secondly, a private water taxi tour of the islands another morning. She is amazing. Not only is she very informative, but seeing a city through the eyes of a local who loves and appreciates it, allows you a totally different experience. We feel very lucky to have had that time with Monica during our Venice stay. The apartment is in such a fantastic location in Venice, easily walkable to many key attractions. Not to mention, countless places to dine and shop. Book this apartment for a very unique stay during your trip to Venice. You’ll be happy you did! Thanks again to Monica, Carlo, and Luca for helping our family have such a wonderful and seamless stay.

Wonderful Apartment in a Great Location!
Very nice older apartment in a central location only a few minutes walk to St Marks Square and the Rialto area. Directly overlooking the canals in a walk up 1st floor location. The 3 bedroom apartment was well equipped and very clean. There is an air conditioner in the master bedroom. A few small issues were some mosquitoes around (during our stay in May) and the guest shower not functioning. Otherwise this was a great property. Carlo the property manager was very friendly and answered all our questions promptly, met us at the water taxi (there’s a stop nearby) and helped with our bags.

This three-bedroom, two-bath apartment overlooks four intersecting canals, so it was as if we were floating on our own private gondola ride no matter which window we looked out from. Gondoliers paddled past our antique-decorated rooms, and the hosts provided excellent information for our orientation. Monica is a guide in the city and swept in to save us when a prearranged tour cancelled at the very last minute. THANKFULLY! She was bright, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and VERY fun. Not only had she grown up in the apartment we were renting, but her grandfather was the very man who put Archangel Gabriel's statue atop the bell tower in St. Mark's Square! This is a place of rich history in a fantastic location. The apartment's water did take a while to heat up, but it did heat just fine. We had warm showers and were able to do dishes and enjoy our stay completely. Trash in Venice is tricky, but there is information to navigate it, and I downloaded the app recommended on the map they left for us. I felt like a local as I followed other neighbors and found our daily trash barge. No problem! Carlo, Monica and Luca were all really terrific hosts who went WAY above and beyond to make our welcome to Venice very warm. Their messages came to us in the US long before our visit to make sure we were comfortable and ready to come. I felt more like I was visiting family than renting an unknown property, and it was in a beautiful "floating" apartment over the Venice canals. Wow!

Great location but old home
If you only care about location. This is great. It’s an authentic Italian OLD flat. Limited heating and air conditioning due to old systems. Took two days to get landlord to turn up boiler enough for hot showers. No tv except old tube unit barely able to play a dvd. Lights are very old and electric sockets the same. No new amenities. There is a washing machine and you can ask for a drying wrap to sit in front of living room window. The view on the canal is pretty, but you will hear the boats starting and running in the early am. Restaurants and grocery nearby and you can see St Marks bell tower. Winter cold or summer hot I wouldn’t recommend this, find modern units for heating and cooling. Large living room and two baths are convenient for 4 of us. Wife Monica is a tour guide and excellent in coordinating tours of out islands on private boat. Really enjoyed it.
