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.

The location and view was amazing! We loved the canal view and the restaurants nearby. Michela was a wonderful host. She provided lots of information about things to do and see in the city and many espresso options which we enjoyed.
Wonderful stay in Venice! Apartment had all I needed and more, and the view of the Grand Canal is spectacular. Being right over the Rialto market was a treat, and the water taxi is a few steps away. The hosts were INCREDIBLE! Would stay here again in a heartbeat if I return to Venice.
We absolutely loved our “home base” on the grand canal, near Rialto bridge. It felt so centralized to everything. The place was clean, bright, updated… and best of all - the best hosts I’ve ever experienced! Thank you to Michela and Giovanni for everything. I will happily recommend this location to everyone I know.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Michela's communication (before, during & after our stay) was excellent. Her husband met us at the vaporetto stop & escorted us to the apt. The property was as described and depicted. We enjoyed the view of the Grand Canal & watching the inner workings of Venice. The apt is up 3 flights of stairs, so don't bring a giant bag (as I did.) The AC sufficiently cooled the apt during our stay in July. If you can spring for a water taxi to/from the airport, I highly recommend doing that. You'll be dropped off about 30 yards from the apt, as opposed to lugging your baggage through the throngs of tourists, over the Rialto bridge and up & down stairs! Despite being directly above the fish market, the apt was very quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Michela!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
Avere degli ospiti come Lea e Ryan, divertenti, gentili, educati, ordinati e sempre disponibili, è stato un vero piacere piuttosto che un impegno di lavoro. Il feeling tra noi è stato immediato e trascorsi pochi giorni si era accresciuto. Noi faremo tesoro dei loro consigli e quando Lea e Ryan torneranno brinderemo insieme, sul molo, con il Prosecco nei più bei calici che riusciremo a trovare.
Grazie Lea e Ryan. Un abbraccio.
Super Lage, sehr nette Gastgeber, sehr gute Ausstattung, sogar Gewürze, Kaffee, Tee, Öl, Spülmittel, Aceto balsamico u.v.m. waren vorhanden. Unvergeßlich: Der Blick auf den Canale Grande. Vielen Dank!
Superbe appartement, tres propre, beaucoup de caractere, facile d’acces. Hote tres acceuillant et aidants. Seul bemol, le bruit tot le matin en raison du marche qui s’installe par ailleurs cela nous permet d’etre au cœur de la vie venetienne
Schön renoviertes Apartment, vom Treppenaufgang darf man sich nicht täuschen lassen. Sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet.
Vermieter sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend,auch für Sonderanfragen offen und hilfreich.
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.
Vous aimez la vie ? C,est là qu,il faut être !!!!!!!!!
Un appartement très propre au coeur même de la vie Vénitienne ...
Des propriétaires adorables qui vous guident...
Dès le matin , vous vivez au rythme de la vraie vie : un panorama à vous couper le souffle...
L,appartement se trouve au milieu de tout, des commerces, à deux pas du pont du Rialto, juste à côté d'un arrêt du vaporetto...
Vous voulez boire un café, faire des courses, visiter des palais...tout est facile d'ici....
Le marché du Rialto est juste au-dessous de la fenêtre avec, légumes, fruits, boucheries, et des poissons excellents et d'une grande fraîcheur ...
Lorsque nous reviendrons à Venise...c,est de nouveau là que nous nous installerons car pour comprendre Venise il faut vivre là !!!!!!
Fabuleuses et inoubliables vacances !!!!!
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!

The apartment had been empty after having been used for many years by almost all members of our Family as a basis for the University Studies..
What makes this property unique
The features that make attractive the apartment are definitely three: The View of the Grand Canal that you can enjoy from inside the apartment. The Location within the Rialto Market in an area, therefore, served by all kinds of shops, stores, 'bacari' and restaurants ... The Proximity of Vaporetto Stop 'Rialto Mercato' which allows you to reach every area of Venice, each island of the Lagoon, and the Airport, the Railway Station, etc., without any effort.
