About this property

Overlooking the Grand Canal, a small loft on two levels

Apartment on two levels, of 51 sqm., for 2/3 persons, located on the 2nd floor, without elevator, of a building of the early 1800's, restored in 2011.
The accommodation comprises: an entrance hallway, a small hall with a lovely view over the Grand Canal and the Rialto Market, divided into a working area with kitchenette-dining area and a sitting area with sofa bed, a wardrobe with a single bed, a bathroom with shower, a loft with a double bed and a small store. An additional warehouse is located on the floor below.
The accommodation is equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, wi-fi Internet access.
The small accommodation with Mezzanine, as aforesaid, has just been restored.
Only the stairwell to access to the apartment, after having been placed in safety, it is still waiting for the authorization of the Superintendence, to which all buildings that overlook the Grand Canal they are subject, for Renovation.
The style of care, the intense brightness, the oak beams, the gondolas and the Grand Canal ... give this little garret a unique charm.

The small bright Attic is located in a charming location in the 'Campo de la Pescaria', where every day (except Sundays) is held the lively and picturesque Market Town of Fish and Vegetables. This is the only one Venetian 'Campo' which leans out on the Grand Canal and, delimited to the right by the 'Fabbriche Nuove' of Jacopo Sansovino, it looks at the Ca' d'Oro'.
Just look out the windows to be absorbed in a typical Venetian atmosphere, to observe the passage of gondolas and motor boats and to enjoy the beauty of the palaces on the water. Gone out of the apartment you are in the heart of the City: 'bacari', restaurants, shops and stores of all kinds...
The central location allows you to easily reach in few minutes some of the most famous monuments, including the Basilica dei Frari and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco.
Overcome the Rialto Bridge, a walk of 10 minutes leads through the 'Mercerie'' ('Marzarie' in Venetian), that is the main commercial artery of the City with its system of 'calli' (where shops of luxury and boutiques of high fashion they lean out, from Gucci to Cartier, from Vuitton to Bulgari...), up to Piazza San Marco.
The Island of Lido, the exclusive beach of Venice, a true treasure chest of Liberty, where every year is taking place the Venice International Film Festival, it is connected to the City and to the mainland by efficient boats, 'vaporetti' and ferry calling at its main ports.

In the 'Campo de la Pescaria' there is the Stop 'Rialto Mercato' for the Vaporetto Line 1 (mt. 20,00 from the apartment), which allows you to visit the whole City and the Lido, the Venice's Beach, and there is the Gondola Service 'St. Sofia' (mt. 10,00) which allowsyou to cross the Grand Canal and reach the other bank of the channel, and that, together, make very easy to access to the apartment.
A Public Pier in 'Campo de la Pescaria' allows to the Water Taxis disembarkation and embarkation of Guests in front of the apartment.

Love! Didn’t want to leave.
My husband and loved our stay in Venice. Michela was incredibly helpful every step of the way. Making sure our arrival via ferry from the train station was smooth and Gianni met us at the ferry station and walked us to the flat! All the recommendations and Michela’s guide book we had an amazing 4 days. We want to return soon!

Amazing hosts!
Michela and Giovanni were such amazing hosts. Very accessible, checking in during our stay, and Giovanni even met us at the ferry station! Which was so appreciated since the arrival in Venice can be overwhelming. The unit was plenty big for the two of us, but there is also room for a third person. Simple and cute, nicely remodeled, with many thoughtful amenities provided. The view to the Grand Canal was tops! We really liked the location. You can walk to various neighborhoods, or take the public transit which has a connection extremely close by, less than a city block away. So you don't have to haul your luggage far. We were really glad to be away from the big tourist sites like San Marco. It was like a haven.Highly recommended this place!

Great location
We really enjoyed our stay in Venice. The view of the Grand Canal was beautiful and a wonderful view place to watch the city wake up in the morning. The apartment was clean and a great space for two people. It had air conditioning which we were grateful for as it was quite hot outside. Michela was fantastic and very helpful in providing detailed information, and we appreciated Giovanni greeting us at the water taxi when we arrived. We highly recommend this location and would love to come back someday.

The best experience
We have stayed in many VRBOs and have never felt so welcome. Michela and Giovanni are exceptional hosts. I felt like we had a private concierge service with such wonderful detailed information both before arriving, while we were there and information left in the apartment. The location of the apartment is perfect. The apartment had everything you could need. So nice to have nespesso available in the apartment. Venice is beautiful and having such a great place to stay just made the experience that much better!

Wonderful apartment!
The pictures of this apartment seem too good to be true, so I kept my expectations low, thinking they must have been taken down the street or around the corner. The views are just as beautiful as they seem. It was a perfect spot to enjoy a long breakfast - grab some fruit downstairs at the market, make some coffe, and put your feet up as you watch the boats go by. Only one morning were we woken up by them setting up, the rest was very quiet. The location couldn't be better - so central to everything! Michela and her husband were accommodating in every way. I would highly recommend to my friends and family to stay there. A few odds and ends that would make the stay a little more comfortable - some paper towels, a sponge, wine glasses, and dish soap. But overall, an extremely affordable apartment for the area and LOVED it.

Beste Lage
Wir wurden bestens empfangen. Das Appartement ist großzügig, sauber und nett eingerichtet. Bei Fragen kümmert sich die Vermieterin sofort. Fantastisch sind Lage und Aussicht. Lärmempfindlich sollte man jedoch nicht sein: Der Rialtomarkt öffnet früh und der nahe Platz ist beliebter Treffpunkt für junge Leute.

Sehr schönes Appartement mit freiem Blick auf den Canal Grande
Sehr einfach zu erreichen, die Vaporetto-Haltestelle Mercato ein paar Meter entfernt. Zwei Stockwerke über dem Markt, geschmackvoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet, geräumig, das Bett auf der Galerie eine Etage höher. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir waren zu zweit und haben uns sehr willkommen und wohlgefühlt, erste Adresse, wenn wir wiederkommen!

Topp Appartement
Tolles Appartement für 2 Personen bestens geeignet um Venedig zu erkunden. Die Sauberkeit die einen hier erwartet, ist auf einem bisher noch nicht erlebten Level Die Lage ist topp allerdings muss man bereit sein, die Marktlage mit allen Konsequenzen zu akzeptieren. Wir fanden es jedenfalls super direkt vorm Haus die leckersten Lebensmittel einkaufen zu können. Top Objekt, mit sehr engagierten Vermietern

Toller Urlaub im Herzen Venedigs
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in dem wunderbaren Appartement am Rialto Mercato. Michaela und ihr Mann Giovanni, der uns von der Vaporetto-Haltestelle abholte, sind nette hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die uns mit guten Ratschlägen schon bei der Organisation der Reise zur Seite standen. Sie hatten uns im Vorfeld hilfreiche Links z. B. zum Public Transport und zu Tickets geschickt und auch Restaurant- und Einkaufsempfehlungen in der Wohnung hinterlegt. Die Kommunikation erfolge auf englisch, was Michela exzellent beherrscht. Die Lage nahe der Rialtobrücke und direkt am Fischmarkt kann man nicht als ruhig sondern eher als lebendig bezeichnen, aber das wussten wir im Vorfeld. Man kann sich von dort sehr gut und schnell in alle Richtungen (Biennale, Lido, Marktplatz, Flughafen) bewegen und so das Beste aus seinem Urlaub machen. Venedig ist voller Touristen und die Straßen, Plätze und auch die Restaurants sind proppenvoll, da war es hilfreich eine Wohnung zu haben, in der man sich schnell etwas zu essen zubereiten kann, was besonders für das Frühstück empfehlenswert ist. Alles in allem hat es uns sehr gut gefallen und wir planen schon unsere nächste Reise nach Venedig, die wir dann bei Verfügbarkeit wieder in dem Appartement verbringen möchten.

Accueil des plus chaleureux de Michela et Giovanni, très attentionnés, passionnés par leur belle cité. Leurs conseils consignés dans un dossier très complet facilitent grandement le séjour vénitien. Ils font tout pour que ces vacances au cœur de la Sérénissime soient belles, sereines nous donnant des clés pour mieux saisir Venise.

We really appreciated the kindness and accommodation of Michela and Giovanni. The apartment was clean, centrally located, and just as described in the listing. Everything we could need was present (coffee, and coffee maker, towels, soap, shampoo, sheets, etc.). Michela made sure we knew exactly how to arrive from the airport and gave us all the options. Giovanni met us at the Alilaguna stop and assisted with our luggage over the Rialto bridge. He pointed out all the features. Finally, as we left they let us keep our luggage on site past checkout which was extremely convenient. I highly recommend this apartment.
