Penthouse in the historic centre with stunning views over the city's rooftops

Our family of four, including two children really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The location was really unbeatable. It was within a five minute walking distance to Saint Marks Square as well as the Rialto bridge. Despite being so central, it was very quiet at night, and we slept very well here. The apartment is actually a little nicer than what we expected from the photos. Of course, there are quarks as this apartment is a very old apartment in a very old historic building, as to be expected. Francesca, the apartment manager, was extremely proactive and helpful, and made the check in extremely easy. she was very kind and helpful and answered many of our questions regarding transportation. Would definitely highly recommend.

Francesca and Renata were great hosts. The check in was very smooth as Venetia could be overwhelming for First time visitors and it is very easy to get lost. They waited at the transportation and walked us to the apartment and gave all instructions. A great place that would definitely recommend!

Very nice apartment with a great location. Giovanna was extremely helpful at check in!Would recommend.

The accommodation exceeded all our expectations!

This stunning apartment is right in the heart of all the main attractions in San Marco.It was an easy walk from the Rialto waterbus stop and to make it even easier Giovanna personally met us there and brought us while also telling us some of the local history and highlights.The apartment is exactly as advertised, if not even better.The views from the fourth floor windows were great and the sunrises captured beautifully in the morning!There is a lift to get you to the fourth floor so no worries there and it is a gated apartment with a doorman so felt very safe.Many amazing restaurants only a few steps away and lots of shopping!I would definitely stay here when I return to Venice and would highly recommend to anyone as well.Grazie Mille Giovanna!!!

Very helpful and easy check in. Had a great time and property was as it was described. Did have some noise from birds in the loft.

Authentic Venetian charm and great location. Even in October it as hot and the air conditioning units do almost nothing to help. Having a couple fans would have really made a difference. Also, the staircase into the second bedroom is treacherous and the main bedroom is a mattress on the floor. Local assistance from Francesca was helpful as she met us and guided us to the property and also arranged for a water taxi from/to the airport.

The location of this property is perfect. It is also very quiet. However, the description is not accurate. There are air conditioning units but THEY DO NOT WORK. It was very warm so difficult to sleep. If one opens the windows the mosquitoes come in. The beds in the loft are only accessible by a narrow and quite dangerous spiral staircase. Also, the description says that there is access to a washing machine. This was not the case. There was a notice on the door saying we could not use it. I actually feel that I deserve a partial refund because of these issues.

Beautiful and private for the family. Spacious apartment. In the middle of it all. Loved it!

A perfect location. Easy to the grand canal, easy to many of the top attractions, and so nice to just sit and sip a cafe or spritz at many places steps from the front door. Wonderful!

Impeccable location! Just the backyard of Piazza S Marco that you can also enjoy when the daily visitors leave the city. A plus is the available books describing the real Venice!

Everything was wonderful. A few things that really stood out was the communication with the property manager. She not only helped us figure out how to get from the Airport, but she met us in town and personally guided us to the right place. She was exceptionally responsive and helpful. The location was in the heart of the city and an easy walk to everything. The penthouse view was amazing. It wasn't on the water, but beautiful view of the top of the city, the rooftop life and sculptures/architecture at eye level. A different, but fascinating perspective. Only little thing to mention was that the hot water only lasted a few minutes at a time. So take fast showers. Not a big deal, but something to plan for. Overall 5/5 rating. My husband and children (23 and almost 18) stayed there very comfortably with room to spare (2 beds were not used). Would definitely recommend.
