GRAND CANAL TERRACE

The property has great character and is very well located close to the Grand Canal. It is well fitted out, very spacious and comfortable. Roberto, the owner's agent, was very helpful and friendly

Excellent location. We met the owner who was absolutely lovely and welcoming. The apartment caretaker was very helpful in getting some extra things organized logistically for our trip. We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend.

This property is beautiful and in a perfect location to walk to everything. We had a large group of family and friends that enjoyed the spacious rooms. Two of the three bathrooms have no shower option and the hot water was scarce in all of the bathrooms but we were able to make it work with quick bathing. The views from the large windows and upper patio deck are awesome!

Lydia and Roberto were excellent! Roberto met us before checkin and allowed us to put our bags in the apartment while it was being cleaned. The space was more than enough for our group of 8. We were there during a heat wave and the A/C worked perfectly. The location couldn’t be better whether you are using a public or private water taxi. All the main sites are within easy walking distance. Our favorite part was just wondering the side streets and exploring. Highly recommend a stay with Lydia!

Roberto was a great host. The apartment was at a great location. The water taxi dropped us off right in front of the apartment. The rooftop terrace was a great way to end a day full of activities.

A Magical Stay in the Heart of Venice — Highly Recommend!Where do we even begin? This property truly exceeded every expectation. The location is simply unreal — Venice is magical on its own, but being situated right where we were made everything effortless and immersive.The apartment itself is wonderfully spacious and very well equipped — everything we needed was already there, and the in-unit laundry machine was such a practical bonus (a genuine lifesaver after a few days of exploring!). Every room was comfortable and thoughtfully set up, and the space stayed refreshingly quiet despite being in such a vibrant city.The absolute highlight? The rooftop. The view from up there is breathtaking — we found ourselves up there morning and evening, just soaking it all in.And then there are Roberto and Lydia. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish — warm, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel taken care of the entire stay.We would return in a heartbeat and recommend this property without any hesitation. If you’re heading to Venice, look no further.

The location of the unique Vrbo palace was perfect. Centrally located to the Grand Canal with a larger stop. The proximity to all major destination and even a 3 min walk to a local market. All viewed from an amazing terrace which is a bit rarer than you'd think in the area.The house itself was in great shape given its age and you can feel the history in the bones with yet modern conveniences. Highly recommend this location and Lydia's team was soooo incredibly helpful and accommodating.

Apartment was in a great location in Venice. Apartment was extremely clean and extremely nice. We felt very safe in the building and the apartment at all times. Check in was very easy and quick. Loved the views from the inside through the windows, and even more for the rooftop terrace.

Everything about this stay was perfect. We only wished that we had planned to stay longer. The amenities for laundry were very helpful. Staying here made us feel like we were REALLY in Venice and it allowed 8 of us to not feel on top of one another.

We had a wonderful time. Party of 6 slept very well and enjoyed the apartment and its location in Venice. Views were gorgeous, could watch the sunrise everyday on the roof deck enjoying coffee and it was very close to the water taxi stop. We will be back! Thank you

There are pros and some cons to staying at the Grand Canal Terrace, so it will depend on your priorities. The property is in a 600-year old building so it definitely provides a unique experience. It is on the 4th floor and offers beautiful views of the canal and the rooftops of Venice from every window, and it was very clean and spacious. The location is central to Venice and right next to a water taxi stop and the host was great with communication, which we appreciated. The downside is that the apartment was not very functional for nine adults in the winter. The heat had been just turned on when we arrived, and some of the bedrooms were very cold for the entire first day (58 degrees F; 14 C). The upper floor was even colder! Also, there is only one actual shower with the other two bathrooms having a tub with a wand, but no wall hook for the wand so you could not wash your hair. There were really only two functional toilets, as well, and the lighting was minimal so it was quite dark at night. I suspect visiting in winter made the space more challenging than a spring/summer trip when it is warmer and the days are longer. We still made some fun memories together.

Comfortable, large apartment in a great location.

Had a great time, host was wonderful and had access to great local information from tours, transfers, etc. Would stay there again next time in town

Lovely apartment in a very good position. A few steps from Sant'Angelo vapretto stop and 2

What a wonderful spot! Great for a group. Convenient to everything.

What an incredible place to stay. Can't say enough about this property. Throughly enjoyed by me and my family.

Beautiful ancient villa . Steps away from the boat stop-away from the tourists but still close enough to everything. Views of the canal and room for the entire family to stretch out. Wonderful !

Beautiful apartment! Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Just the right spot to begin our Italy tour!

The location was unbeatable! Easy walk (with no stairs or bridges) from a taxi/bus drop off dock and a 10 min walk to San Marco square. Only 5 min walk from the closest grocery store and main streets and just far away enough to be quiet. The place has a small elevator, which was a life savor with luggage. There’s so much space so we didn’t feel on top of each other. Only downside was the water tank, which we were told about upon arrival, but there was a piece missing or broken and the tank had to be reset every 1-3 shower uses. This became tedious with 7 people needing showers over a 5 day stay. The site manager, Roberto, is very helpful and quick to communicate. Overall, it was a great stay.

First of all, the owner’s Venetian property manager was extremely helpful, accommodating, and responsive. He gets an easy five stars. The property itself is in a great location, and it provides a lot of space. However, it was not particularly easy to stay in, lots of quirks and little issues. There were issues with the boiler which were again, promptly addressed but led to us having no heat or hot water for 2 of our 6 nights and we were surprised not to receive any offer of recompense or communication from the owner about that.For a lower price these things would be fine to overlook, but for the price we paid I think we could have had a more comfortable stay elsewhere.

We had a great family trip and enjoyed staying in the Grand Canal Terrace. The building is over 300 years old so we felt like we were staying in a living museum. We stayed in Nov so while Venice was cold the heating worked well so we were comfortable. The apartment was well appointed and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. There are however a few issues that I noticed others also mentioned. One shower is in a bathtub and only has the shower hose/handle that you need to hold over yourself. The second shower has part of the door missing and you also need to hold the shower hose as it won't stay up. For this price point I would expect showers without these issues. One bedroom is really tiny, looks out over a laundry room and doesn't have curtain so it hard to sleep once it gets bright. The couches on main living area have no backs so hard to sit in for longer times. There is a couch on the upper level that is comfortable, but this area is much colder than main level. There isn't much of a view from the apartment itself. There is a good view from the upper terrace that is on the top floor but given the temperature we didn't use it on our stay. It was not possible to close the bedroom door to the twin bedroom. Overall, for the price I would expect a truly luxury experience so while it was a good place to stay it didn't fully live up to my expectations.

We LOVED our stay at Grand Canal Terrace. We only stayed for two nights but afterwards wished we had stayed longer. The location can't be beat. It's steps away from the Sant'Angelo ferry stop on the Grand Canal. The view from some of the bedrooms and the rooftop terrace is phenomenal. The space is huge and was perfect for our big family group. It's a historic building but there is a lift to get you up to the top floor where the apartment is. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful home, perfect location

What an amazing apartment. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. Roberto was there to greet us and he gave us some recommendations for dinners. He even made our reservations for the first night. Highly recommend

Our stay was nothing short of amazing.  The location was perfect, even at night, we never felt unsafe.  We were less than a 1 minute walk to the closest water taxi stop.  There was a local grocery store that was within a 5 minute walk.   The apartment was spacious, way more room than we needed for 5 adults.  The view from the roof deck terrace was breathtaking.  You can’t ask for more, when you are sipping an aperol spritz from your roof deck taking in the views of the grand canal.   Everything was clean and the kitchen was full of the tools you would need if you were planning to make meals.   10/10 would definitely recommend the apartment.  The 80+ stairs definitely were a work out, but they had a fully functioning elevator that guests could use as an alternative.
