About this apartment rental
This luxurious apartment is situated on two floors facing on the Grand Canal, with windows on all four sides. On the second floor, a large living room and a generous dining room have five double balcony windows and one single window all looking out directly onto the Canal; the three bedrooms/ with bathrooms are at the back on the second floor on interior courtyards, hence very quiet. The third bathroom has a large bath and marble walls. There is a half-bathroom at foyer entrance; fully equipped kitchen, utility room with washing and drying machines and linen. On the ground (or Canal) level, a foyer and a Canal door lead onto a dock on the Canal. There is also a garden/courtyard in the back and a large entrance hallway. Central air-conditioning, television, internet are available throughout the apartment.
In special circumstances it may be possible to free this room (4th room) for an extra charge.
Description of site: the apartment is located in a Palazzo in the most exclusive neighbourhood of Venice in the San Marco section, and faces onto the Grand Canal. While it is very practical for all communications, located two minutes from two Vaporetto stops on each side (Sant'Angelo and San Samuele) and one minute from a traghetto stop (to cross the Canal); three minutes walk to the elegant San Stefano square and ten minutes walk to the Rialto, it is out of the tourist flow, hence delightfully quiet and peaceful. A very popular family cafe-restaurant is one minute from the front gate of the Palazzo where an excellent breakfast as well as the other meals are available.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2025
We have stayed in every type of house, BB, and hotel. Without question this Grand Canal palazzo flat is the best. The view of the Grand Canal and its finest palazzos is magnificent. To maximize the breath-taking vision of the canal there are six adjacent wide and 8 ft. high windows facing it, each with a shallow Juliet balcony. You can relax or work while you watch the watercraft and gondola spectacle passing below. The palazzo apartment itself is a “must-see sight”. The walls are covered with thought-provoking imaginative original art. The floors and doors are of glowing heavy good in different patterns. Beautiful furnishings evoke another century but are as comfortable as could be. Architecture is classic high Art Deco with its curved features and internal windows. The bedrooms are very large, each with a bath with better-than-US plumbing. The kitchen is complete and modern. This is the place to stay for anyone inspired by aesthetics, culture, and art – the very reason to be in Venice anyway!

Hands down, there is nowhere else like this in Venice. Set back in a quiet, safe, non-tourist corner of the city, this place is a jewel. When you make your way through the entrance doors into the living room, you will gasp at the view, one that few Venice visitors get to experience like this. The 5 sit-in windows that open up onto the Grand Canal offer an ongoing window into Venice life, from the morning boat deliveries, the constant stream of Vaporettos, and the gondoliers ferrying passengers across. As you sit in the window, drinking a coffee or wine, other tourists may gape at you in open-mouthed envy of your spectacular lodging.
And the rest of the place is just as perfect - the kitchen is ideal for making whichever meals you won't eat out, and the dining room also shares the view of the Canal. Museum-quality artwork, and the best literature collection you will ever find in a vacation rental, complete the package.
When you do leave the house, you will find a lovely neighborhood with good shops and restaurants. San Marcos and the Rialto are each about a 15-minute walk. The Academy bridge is a 5-minute walk. And the Alilaguna boat to the airport picks up a quick 3-minute walk away, at San Angelo.
Book this property. You will be glad you did!

Wonderful to watch the canal traffic float by the large windows of this apartment. Although eccentric and charming, it could do with a thorough airing and cleaning.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2025
We spent a week here over New Year's. First, the good things: Communication with owner was good, we were greeted upon arrival with no issues, the location is unbeatable, and the views of the canal from the big windows in the living room and dining room were amazing. The apartment is also filled with interesting contemporary art. The negatives included the fact that the apartment was very cluttered and dirty. There were partially used foodstuffs in the fridge and freezer, including a lot of crumbs. There were 2 bedrooms with ensuite baths, a third bedroom, and a powder room. In one of the baths (with a plastic shower stall) there was no hot water, and the other had a tub with a handheld spray that lacked a glass door or shower curtain, so water sprayed around the bathroom when trying to shower. Both bathrooms were cluttered with partially used shampoos, soaps, etc. The powder room toilet would clog if any toilet paper went into it. Beds were all apparently old, rather hard and uncomfortable. Everything was dusty if not downright dirty. We are used to wonky mechanicals when renting in Italy, but this place needs a major decluttering and cleaning (and a look at the plumbing situation). It was amazing to sit by the front windows with a glass of wine and watch the boat traffic go by on the grand canal, but creature comforts were lacking, to say the least.
