Venice, Veneto
An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Mark’s Square.
Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard ‘Corte Rubbi’, on the Castello/San Marco border, this once forgotten building has been magically transformed by restorers with vision and interior design savoir-faire.
Standing at the gondola-busy T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, and encapsulating 10 dazzling apartments of varying colourway and size, the newly launched Corte Rubbi is but a stroll to some of Venice’s most iconic attractions and countless beguiling vistas on which to feast your eyes!
Easy to find (when you know the way!) from the shop-lined Campo San Bartolomeo and Salizada San Lio on one of Venice’s canal-encircled ‘islands within an island’, these imaginatively furnished apartments offer Wi-Fi and a communal laundry room and are spread across 4 floors with all upper floors reached by stairs.
Highly contemporary in style, air-conditioned** throughout and ranging from a charming studio for 4 to a fabulous penthouse with rooftop terrace, Corte Rubbi’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:
Corte Rubbi 8 - sleeping 4 (+1) - on the 3rd Floor reached by stairs. Upon previous request we can organize a porter service with a surcharge.
A cosy and characterful 2-bedroom apartment comprising:
A warm and welcoming main living / dining area with attractive exposed brickwork, wooden flooring underfoot and wooden beams overhead, a double sofa bed sleeping one guest and a well-equipped kitchenette for light cooking against a wall decorated in Cole & Son’s charming Fornasetti Teatro wallpaper
2 attractive double bedrooms each with a double bed and a window with decorative balustrades facing the water, one with a view of the bridges over the ‘Rio dei Bareteri’ (Canal of the Cap Makers) and the little balcony of the secret little Casino Venier – an 18th-century ‘ridotto’ (today a cultural institution well hidden from the tourist crowds!)
A luxurious bathroom to the side with marble walls and chromotherapy shower
Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments We offer 9 other apartments within this palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1 Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 5, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514
OUR COMMENT
A warm and welcoming 2-bedder full of character and joie de vivre, in a vibrant, central and endlessly fascinating part of town.
A few steps away from the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava and close to a host of famous sights and attractions including the atmospheric Venetian time-capsule that is the Querini Stampalia, the fabulous Palazzo Grimani just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of San Zaccaria with its crypt and wonderful Bellini altarpiece, and Vivaldi’s La Pietà on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront…
… A short stroll towards a very sedate pace of life lived out amongst the tranquil calles, canals and green spaces of Castello with its laid-back and very genuine neighbourhood vibe…
… Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square (‘the Piazza’) gloriously near-empty before its visitors arrive… or visit at night when the orchestras of Quadri and Florian play*, the bells of the Campanile (bell tower) toll, the marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness…
Close to a host of shops, restaurants and bars including the much-lauded Alle Testiere, the upmarket Bistrot de Venise and Alle Corone of the nearby Hotel Reali, the charming Osteria Al Portego (delicious cicheti!) and Osteria Ae Sconte, plus Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa with its tables on the campo.
Also within easy reach of 4 well-stocked supermarkets – a Despar at Calle al Ponte de la Guerra, a COOP at Salizada San Lio, and a COOP and a Despar on the Riva del Carbon (near the Rialto Bridge), along with a ‘Vino Sfuso’ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocer’s stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the ‘Traghetto’ gondola ferry carrying passengers across the Grand Canal between the Riva Del Carbon and San Silvestro in the San Polo district and the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for trips around town, visits to the Lido beaches and to the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.

Nice building, but there is no on sight management. Note that this is not a hotel, or a locally managed apartment.
This was the perfect apartment for our stay in Venice. Great location, beautiful and clean accommodations. Adrienne met us right at the Rialto ferry stop and showed us the way to the apartment. Will use Views on Venice for any future trips to Venice! Can't recommend enough!
Apartment was beautiful, furniture, bedding and bathroom were luxurious The VoV team were very helpful and very friendly and communicated very well A small starter pack with milk and coffee Secure storage for suitcases
The location was perfect, the apartment was very stylishly renovated and spotlessly clean throughout with very comfortable beds and excellent air conditioning. The complimentary toiletries were a lovely touch. Marta, Elisa and Marina were all really helpful and it was great being met from the waterbus stop at Rialto and shown the short walk to the property. Thank you, we loved our stay at Corte Rubbi 8 and have recommended it already! There could perhaps have been an extra light or two in the living area but it was not a problem!
Superb apartment fabulous view wonderful location beautiful building Nothing
Everything about the apartment was perfect. The service from VOV were excellent and would definitely use them anytime I visit Venice. My friends also used them for their visit, their apartment was amazing and they were equally pleased with everything. They couldn’t have been more helpful. Nothing
You can’t beat this location. Close to everything and very clean. The decorating was gorgeous. Pictures do not even do it justice. We stayed with a large group in 5 different apartments and we were all happy with our accommodations. The staff also helped us locate and book water taxis and met us to show us our rooms when we arrived. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Venice for a few days.
