Palazzo Notarbartolo an extraordinary charming house in the heart of Venice

The apartment is part of a patrician palace presumably dating back to 1300, formerly the seat of the Doge Marcello family. For several centuries it has been owned by my family and only 40 years ago it has been renovated and divided into apartments.

It is located in an absolutely enviable and strategic position a few steps from the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco.

It maintains many of its original beautiful and characteristic architectural elements: the verdant private garden with the characteristic well and the water door, the imposing wooden entrance door to the garden.

Inside the apartment, the high ceilings of over 5 meters with gothic trifora windows and the beautiful "Sansovino" coffered ceiling stand out. The apartment occupies part of the original ancient library and the dining room of the old building.

The house is equipped with effective air conditioning. In the living room, under the mezzanine, two large sofas (one of which is a double bed), a small table and a large flat-screen TV, offer a pleasant relaxation area. The dining area, under the large windows, is part of the living room. Everything is pleasantly decorated with antiques. On the mezzanine, above the sofa area, there is a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a single bed, a baby bed and a wardrobe. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and functional, there is a table for breakfast or informal meals. The main bathroom has a bathtub with shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet. Stairs lead from the entrance corridor to the bright main bedroom with half-moon windows. The master bedroom has a small bathroom with sink and toilet.

Completely renovated with a mix of modern sensitivity and respect for original details, Palazzo Notarbartolo will offer its guests a unique and unforgettable experience in Venice!

Tenants are provided with bed linen and towels; the cleaning service is provided only at the end of the stay for short periods, for periods longer than a week the price includes a cleaning service and change of linen.

The tourist tax of € 4.00 per person / night (up to 5 nights) is payable in cash on arrival. Children up to 10 years do not pay, young children from 10 to 16 pay 50%.

Apartment was very nice in good location
We were told house manager would meet us at the pier but he did not , then got mad at us because we could not find the apartment, charged us $45.00 for two people for three nights even though we told them a month before there would only be two of us. The best part of the trip was when we were leaving with heavy suitcases a Nigerian man said he would help us, he carried both of our suitcases to Rialto station and said he would take what ever we could pay, he was a Godsend, as we would have probably wandered through those alleys and steps forever, if he asks you if you need help please let him help you, you will not regret it, and pay him accordingly.

Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic three-day stay at this VRBO property in Venice. The two rooms were spacious, and the living and dining room were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The location is central, making it easy to get around and enjoy everything Venice has to offer. A special thanks to Andrea, the house manager, who was incredibly helpful and informative throughout our stay. We truly appreciated the hospitality and highly recommend this property for anyone looking to experience Venice comfortably!"

Two nights at Notarbartolo
We loved this beautiful apartment. We had a comfortable stay (helped by the air-conditioning as it was hot weather), felt very at home, and wished we had booked for longer. The palazzo apartment is in a quiet area in the heart of Venice. Both the owner, and the host Andrea who met us, gave us all the information we needed and Andrea gave us extra help when we needed it. We hope to return another year, and will recommend it to our friends.

This was a great place for our family of 4. We loved how close it was to everything. Since we traveled with just backpacks we were even able to walk to the train station our last day. There’s a grocery store steps away. It was very quiet and relaxing.

Wonderful apartment in Venice
Our family of five (children ages 11,15,18) thoroughly enjoyed this lovely apartment. Great communication from property owner who provided many maps and detailed instructions on checkin requirements and process well in advance, as well as tips for our stay. The apartment is well located with a lovely garden and lots of character (dates back to 1300’s!). Very clean and comfortable with excellent air conditioning. Definitely recommend.

Very well situated near major landmarks and waterways. We are a family of 6 with 3 kids aged 13, 9 and 8 and an older senior aged 80. Pros: good restaurant recommendations, walkable to major tourist sites such as St. Mark’s Plaza, lots of space for 6, washer and dryer, elevator, good enough AC by European standards, neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. Cons: 1. the dryer takes a long time to dry and it’s not intuitive. I recommend that the owner leave instructions in English and Italian for how to use the machine. 2. Needs more instructions for how to get the Internet working. To get the Internet working the first time, you may have to press the button marked “Wireless- LAN.” This was off but once we turned it on it worked. 3. The garden shown in photos is just the entryway. You can’t really sit there. 4. Under the beds and in the closets it was dusty and the blankets in the closets need a wash. Kids thought the sheets were scratchy. 5. I appreciate it when a VRBO provides basics such as salt, shampoo, etc., even if they feel the need to charge more. This lodging had some of those things, such as salt and dish soap, but it would have been helpful to have even more supplies such as aluminum foil, Parmesan cheese, and a filtered water pitcher. It’s more environmentally friendly and less garbage. 6. Style: personally I recommend less decoration. Emptier = you can make it more your own space and it’s easier to find your stuff.

Authentic!
An authentic Venetian home with the most incredible garden. Feels like you are staying at the home of a relative as it has so much charm. The location is close to all the major sites. The only confusing part was that all the info was sent via a very informative email with directions to contact another person right away and also to remind them 4-5 days in advance. This was a bit tedious in the midst of traveling to numerous places. The contact person to message on Vrbo is the owner and not the person to contact for arrangements. So I had to dig through my email to find the info for the house keeper. It would have been easier if this could have all been done in the app. Regardless 5 star place that I would 100% recommend.

Comfortable stay
Our stay was great. Location was ideal for our family, including children and older adults. Kitchen and bathroom were very functional and well kept, and air conditioning worked well. The base of the staircase leading to the lower level is a bit slippery so would just recommend an extra rug or something to help with the landing there.

We appreciated the wonderful communication with the hostess and Mr Fusco. They were so welcoming and gave you great information before your stay. The apartment was centrally located and the grocery was steps away. So if you forgot something, not a problem to run back and pick it up. The apartment was very spacious and decorated nicely. The washer /dryer combination was really great to have access to while traveling. We would definitely stay again!

This was an amazing property with a picturesque courtyard, in the absolute best location. We are a family of four and there was so much room for all of us and more.

Traveled with group
We loved our apartment at Palazzo Notarbartolo. We were a couple and two singles traveling together, and the bedding was perfect for our group. The only thing we wished for was a map in the apartment marking the routes to St. Mark’s Square and another to the Rialto bridge. We were instructed to take a water taxi to Campiello Santa Marina. This was just a short distance from the apartment with only one bridge in between. The manager met us there and escorted us to the apartment. When we departed, we took a water taxi to the airport. While the taxis are pricey, this was extremely convenient as the airport has docks that they pull right into the airport with luggage carts and a well-marked route to the terminal that is enclosed with even ground for moving luggage!
