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.

Stay in Venice

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.

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!

Beautiful views of Venice

We loved the palazzo. The location is fantastic within a few minutes walk of Saint Marks Square and all the bustling bistros and pretty shops. Carlo was so helpful. A fantastic host. The best thing was the amazing views from all the windows particularly from the sitting room. We spent hours Watching the Miriad of boats delivering tourists, oranges, fridges and geraniums. Faded grandeur. Shabby shic. Try the lovely cocktails in the opulent Hotel Splendid next door. Fabulous holiday. The Italians were all so accommodating.. can’t wait to return.

Everything and more!

The hosts, Carlo and Monica, made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication about check in and check out. It is a beautiful property close to everything we wanted to see and do. An informational book in the living room gives lots of great tips for touring the city. And be sure to lift the top of the desk in the hallway to find business cards for restaurants and other shops. As an added bonus, Monica was able to arrange a private tour with a friend who is a professional guide, which was fabulous! The only small issue with the property is that it takes quite a while before the water in the shower gets hot.

Lovely apartment in ideal location

Loved looking out over the canal. Perfect location for St Marks Square and Rialto Bridge. Great access to shops and restaurants. Unfortunately it was extremely hot during our visit and the apartment was not well air conditioned which made our sleeping and time in the apartment uncomfortable.

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.

We have been to Venice 4 times with our daughters and said this was the best apartment so far!! The location was perfect and the apartment views were beautiful!

Wonderful location!

The views of the canals from this apartment are amazing! We loved just looking out the windows! It's located right in the heart of Venice so it's easy walking to restaurants, shops and sights. The apartment was very clean and looked just like the photos. It's very spacious and was comfortable for 4 adults. Carlo was easy to work with and did a great job getting us settled in. His wife Monica took us on a tour & did a lovely job too. We would defintley stay in this aparement again!

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!

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.

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.

A dream come true!

This is the perfect property if you wish to live in an authentic Venetian home. We are a family of 5 ( 3 boys 10, 14, 16). The apartment is very spacious, perfectly situated a few minutes walking distance from Rialto and Place St Marc, with all the restaurants and boutiques on spot. We sat for hours just watching the gondolas and tourists go by, watching the canal levels rise and lower, a real dream come true for us. We booked a "behind the scenes" tour with Monica - the best part of our stay, we learnt so much and loved the less touristic parts of the city. Thank you to Carlos and Monica, we would recommend your place and return without hesitation. Best wishes!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
