Great Location & Space

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.

Paid too much.

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.

Enjoyed our stay

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.

Absolutely fabulous stay in a fantastic location in Venice

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!

A grand stay on the grand canal

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.

Smart Choice

Very conveniently located - be sure to take the municipal ferry AND NOT A PRIVATE TAXI to get there because the private taxi will just dump.you by the doge's palace. The kitchen is top notch and well equipped. The rooms are comfortable and there is a wealth of books and entertainment. The roof top.deck is a nice.plus too.

Prime location, beautifully appointed ample apartment home

Very central location, steps away from vaporetto stop which cover main Line 1 and Alilaguna boat to Marco Polo airport..ample space fully enjoyed bybour party of 9. Easy to get in touch with property manager who walked us through property and respond promptly to request. A/C of 2 rooms was not cooling but plenty of room in last floor and living area we used instead to sleep. Great kitchen area, comfy rooms. Awesome Grand Canal view.

Amazing and Ideal

Every past trip we have stayed at hotels, but since this trip there were 9 of us (5 adults and 4 kids, less than 13 years old) we chose this place and to be honest was a little skeptical of how amazing it looked. We were more than surprised of how terrific this place was and highly recommend to anyone looking to stay here. Inside space is huge. 5 bedrooms, 3 large living rooms, 3 bathrooms, spacious kitchen, dining room and even a balcony overlooking the city and grand canal. Everything was way bigger than appeared in the photos. Plus has AC and washer/dryer. Location is perfect, literally 100 steps from the Evaporeto stop, and even has an elevator to get to its location on 4th floor. Plus it was a 10 minute walk to San Macro and 10 minutes to Rialto. Plus there is dining and shopping within a few blocks. Lastly the host was very communicative and connected us with their local manager, Roberto, who speaks English and was very welcoming. Even helped us get a dining reservation at a local restaurant (which is no easy feat with 9 people in the busy month of June). So a big thank you and praises to Roberto. All in all, this place this is a unicorn in Venice!

Graduation trip to Italy

The property was a good size for our family of nine. The host was quick to communicate when I had a question and explained to us exactly how to get our Venice exemption codes for the weekend we arrived since it was one of the trial weekends for the new program. The location was great and handy being near a water bus stop. Had a good elevator to get us up to the fourth floor, quick and smooth ride. We were a little disappointed that one of the three bathroom's had limited use of the commode as it could not accommodate any toilet paper. And not all the in-room air conditioners worked. We also had a lot of trouble each time we tried to unlock the door. It was an old lock and took several tries to get it right. But that was probably user error!

Overall, excellent, but with some quirks

The property is in a great location.The apartment added to a true Venetian experience. It is a place that would be appreciated by artists; the decor/colors follow a theme from Gustav Klimt. But I dont believe its suitable for renting to families with young children. Some of the antique furniture is too delicate for use. Also, the window shutters are very old. We were worried that they would break during our stay, and could hurt someone if they fell on the courtyard below. The owners really need to replace them. Also, it a bit odd but part of the shower doors were missing. You could still take a shower, but the missing doors was unexpected , given the quality of the place. All in all, I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Venice. Take the time to appreciate the extraordinary views from the terrace, and the decor. If I ever come back to Venice, I would try to book this place.

Grand Canal Terrace Stay

The location and ease to reach this apartment is excellent. It is a very large environment. Although Roberto was there to meet our arrival and walk us through everything we ha two issues with this property. The bedroom my wife and I and no electrical power. I require outlets that work to support my oxygen machine but there was no working outlets in the room. I had to use a small twin bed that had working outlets to get through the night. I called Roberto the next morning, twice but he never came back to look into the issue. I had to procure 2 look extension cords to run from the living room to power my oxygen machine for the balance of our stay. None of the bathroom had true showers, they had hand held portable shower hoses which were not very usable. We were adults 65-86 and these were not very practical.

The apartment was great for our family of 6. Plenty of space, comfortable, and a great Venetian vibe. The rooftop terrace was breathtaking. If I had one complaint, it would be that 2 of the bath/shower combos had handheld showers instead of being mounted. Other than that, our stay was perfect.
