The Grand Canal Apartment is located a few steps away from Rialto Bridge and it's famous market, and at less then 10 minutes by walk from Saint Mark's Square.The apartment it on a first floor of a old venetian building, is completely renovated (May 2007),sound-proof, fully furnished, and decorated in Venetian style. All around the area there are every kind of shops,bars,resturants,pharmacy,fashion,internet points,churches,museums,monumentes,and true the little canals there are the gondolieri rowing them gondola and singhing the venetian songs. This is the area where the venetian people live, and where they do them shopping.


Since its origin , before the year one thousand , Rialto has been the economic heart of Venice . During the Serenissima Replublic , it was here in the market that real Venetian retail and wholesale trade took place. Over time,the Market became more important as a result of new warehouses, but above all due to the creation of the credit institutes know as ' Banchi' where money changing and loans operations were carried out.
In this context of great economic vitality and wealth , there was The Erbaria, the vegetable market mainly fed by the garden of the lagoon islands, The Pescaria , the fisch market, where the fresch fish arrived from the lagoon and along the coast, The Casaria , the cheese market and the Naranzaria ,the citrus fruits market.
Many of Rialto's buildings were destroyed by a great fire in 1514 and the reconstructed ; the only which was saved by the fire is the xi century Church of Saint Giacomo .
Today , Rialto is still a lively and crowded shopping place where, in the morning from Monday to Saturday the fruit and vegetable market and the food market take place and , from Tuesday to Saturday the fish, is held.

                    My husband, our 13 year old son, and I stayed at this apartment for 2 nights and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Venice! The owner was extremely informative and helpful from the time we booked the apartment and throughout our stay. We've used VRBO for rentals throughout the US but this was the first time we used it when travelling abroad. One concern we initially had was having to be completely self-sufficient in a country where we don't speak the language and where we've never travelled to before. All of our concerns were quickly erased when Monica provided detailed instructions on finding the apartment and by offering someone to assist us while staying there. Her assistant, Madam Daniela, made us feel so extremely comfortable from the time she met up with us at the water boat terminal and with going above and beyond to assist us during our stay. She was amazing! The apartment was as nice as the pictures portray. The location was perfect for us since it was close to everything we wanted to see. The setting was so quaint, we really felt like we had a chance to experience the local life. With that said, you either need to be a local or have a great sense of direction though to find our way back to the apartment since the streets in Venice can get you turned around real quickly. We were able to find some pasta and spices from a little shop close by and some veggies from the market to prepare a meal in the little kitchen. Overall our experience was extremely favorable and we would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Venice.

                    Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

                    Owner response: Thank you for your great review. We are very happy that you had a wonderful time in Venice and in our apartment and our staff took care of you. We prepare our staff to accommodate our customers and make them feel at home. We are available 24 out of 24 in case of need. Our goal is the quality 'of a 4 star hotel but with the lower price. We agree that the apartment Canal Grande is situated in a magical place, and it is a fantastic environment to enjoy the best of Venice. I very much hope to see you again in our magical city. Thanks a thousand times again. Sincerely. Sincerely Fabio & Monica.

                    We stayed at the Gran Canal Apartment from May 1-4, 2013. This is a great apartment in the heart of Venice just behind the Venice Market (which was amazing!!). It was clean, spacious, quiet and the owners went out of their way to ensure our every need was met and we were comfortable. The apartment is within easy walking distance for the water bus, restaurants, and many popular Venice sights. Our stay was perfect in every way...we would not hesitate to recommend staying at The Gran Canal and would happily return anytime opportunity came knocking.

                    Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.

                    Owner response: Dear Guests so glad you had a wonderful time in our apartment ! Thank you for your kind review of the property. Hope very much to see you again here very soon, so we will try do do even better. Best regards sincerely Fabio & Monica.

                    We loved our stay at the Gran Canal apartment. From the start, Fabio and Monica were very responsive to my questions and I loved being able to pay the deposit by PayPal instead of a wire transfer. The location was perfect. We were able to explore parts of Venice in the morning and return to the apartment for a rest before going on another excursion in the afternoon/evening. Our only regret is that we didn't purchase fresh fish and shrimp to cook in the well-equipped kitchen. The free internet connection was great, especially after coming from a cruise ship where the charge was 99 cents/minute. One suggestion for anyone who stays at the apartment - be sure to get clear instructions on using the stove and microwave.

                    Owner response: Thank you so much for choosing our apartment and for taking the time to write a review! We are fortunate to have the apartment in the heart of Venice and enjoy hearing about our guests' experiences! It was a pleasure meeting with your family and hope to hear from you in the future. All The Best, Fabio & Monica

                    Very hard to find enough superlatives. In order: excellent communication from Monica and Fabio. We booked many months ahead. Everything is exactly as advertised. Actually it is better. We were met at the Rialto Alilaguna by Fabio on a rainy, dark night. He sped up the Rialto bridge steps, a case in each hand. We stayed a week in Rialto - it is warm and cosy and the kitchen works! When the rest of the family arrived we moved to Gran Canal for another 10 days. This is bigger and has a quite lovely view down C. Botteri. Wonderful showers and kitchens in each. Excellent backup from Fabio for a couple of minor issues. This is our 6th stay in Venice and this was our best experience. Highly recommended

                    **This review is for the Rialto Bridge Apartment** I stayed with my partner at the Rialto Bridge apartment for two nights over Thanksgiving 2012. The apartment was impeccably clean upon our arrival and is very well furnished, giving the sense of classic Venice but with a modern flair. The space is exactly as the photos indicate -- a bit small but, especially with your own kitchen and private bathroom, plenty big enough and nicer than most hotel/hostel options in the same price range. The feeling of the apartment is great for couples looking for a romantic stay in a romantic city. As others have said, the location is just a few minutes away from the Rialto Bridge but is off the beaten path just enough to make it feel less touristy (which is a good thing). As anyone who has been to Venice knows, it's easiest to navigate the city by landmarks, so having Rialto nearby made it easy to get home no matter where we were in the city. We had a few concerns about our stay, but they were handled very quickly and effectively by the management (hence the four stars). Would definitely recommend and return next time my travels bring me to Venice.

                    Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

                    Owner response: Dear mr. Dean thank you very much indeed to you. We are very pleasant and happy you had a great time in Venice and a great stay in our apartment. We are also very apologize of niggles that we have done immediately. Unfortunately, some things are out of our control. However, we have done 'cause not happen again.' The also wanted to thank letting us know 'cause the suggestions of our customers are used to improve our service and to understand better their needs. Thank you once again and look forward to the next time in our beautiful city. 'Sincerely Fabio & Monica.

                    We stayed at this cozy, beautiful apartment for 3 nights in September and recommend it highly! We were met by Michela who guided us to the apartment and helped us understand all of it's features. If you arrive by train it is only 6 vaporetta stops from the station. The bed is comfortable (the pillows are hard so perhaps ask if Señor Fabio if there are some options); the kitchen is well equipped; the bathroom is beautiful!; and the neighborhood is very quiet. ONE SUGGESTION: if you are not familiar with Venice, when you decide to go out, you may want to stop at each corner and snap a picture of where you turned outbound. That way when it is dark and you've had some Vino, you can find your way home inbound without wandering the dozens of passages that makes Venice a wonderful experience. Mr. Fabio is a very hospitable and helpful owner. We had one slight issue and he said he was out on his boat with his wife and would be there in 15 minutes. He was there in less than 10 minutes and resolved the issue immediately. An excellent, professional and caring host! Thank you Fabio - keep up the great work! Caio'
