About this apartment rental
Luxury, recently renovated and fully furnished 2 bedrooms apartment in 14th century prestigious Palazzo Falier. Facing the Grand Canal, the most fascinating water way of the town, this apartment offers to its guests the best Venetian atmosphere with the comforts of a nicely venetian - style entirely renovated apartment. The two bedrooms, both with double bed and one with an extra sofa- bed, look the nice and silent side canal Rio del Duca; two elegant bathrooms decorated with glass Venetian mosaic, an equipped kitchen with view on a little garden and a charming, finely decorated living room with two windows on the Grand Canal and a wide view which goes from the Accademia Bridge to Palazzo Rezzonico.
The access to the apartment is trough the monumental entrance of Palazzo Falier, one of the most beautiful and well conserved Venetian private palazzo; from there you may arrive in Campo Santo Stefano in 1 minutes, or Palazzo Grassi Museum - Pinault Foundation, Accademia Galleries, Palazzo Franchetti, Palazzo Pisani Music Conservatory of Venice, Santo Stefano Church, the Fenice Opera House ... and of course San Marco Square, all in few minutes walking out of the Palazzo.
The Santo Stefano district is the nicest and most elegant area of Venice; nice restaurants and bars, or the old baccaro and trattoria;, antiques and modern design shops, or the best of Venetian artisans atelier; everything is just around the corner.
Arrive with a water taxi from the Grand Canal on the private jetty of the Palazzo; that's already a great way to start you stay in Venice, or just step down at San Samuele water bus stop, 2 minutes walking. Groceries, a supermarket, pharmacy, book shops, tobacconist, pilates gym, florist ... all you need is at two steps.

This apartment was amazing! Communication with the apartment manager was fabulous - check in process was simple. Absolutely amazing to look out the living room window and watch the boats go by on the Canal.
The area in which the apartment is located is very quiet and within a 10 minute walk of St. Mark’s Square.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and quite well appointed. Would highly recommend!

This flat in the ground floor of a centuries-old palazzo on the Grand Canal provided 5-star accommodations with a spectacular views. You. Must. Stay. Here.

The property was perfect for 2 adult couples. Both bedrooms with private bathrooms and large beds. Great view out the windows to the main canal and just enough away from the crowds to have a quiet night. Outstanding

The property is in a great spot to visit the major highlights of Venice and also enjoy the Grand Canal. It’s a quiet, well furnished apartment in a beautiful building- a very unique experience for us. AC and WiFi work great and the apartment is on the ground floor.
Communication was also great. Highly recommended!

We loved the place and our stay in Venice. The location was great too!

It was a lovely location on the Grand Canal and the bedrooms were adequate but could have used dressers. The kitchen was inadequate and hard to find what was needed as everything was jammed together.
4.8
Beautiful view right out living room windows! Can watch all the boat traffic. Convenient to several water bus stops. Good neighborhood. We were greeted upon arrival with tour of apartment and given keys. Would definitely stay there again!!

Really, really nice apartment. Clean, very well equiped, very comfortable in every manner. The area is convenient to all the major sites, but not in a heavily crowded area. What makes this an exceptional property is the owner Giovanni and his helper Orial. They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. They truly care for their visitors and made our stay a special experience. We will definitely revisit!!
PS: we are regular travelers and always rent apartments when possible. So, when we say special experience, we mean it!

Great location , great accommodation

Great communication and check-in process. Fabulous location in historic building. Cutlery and glassware is kept out in the living room, so keep this in mind if you have toddlers/small kids. Our kids LOVED watching the boats on the Grand Canale from the living room windows!
There were seven Glade plug-ins throughout the apartment, which made the fragrances overwhelming. It is a very old building surrounded by water, so keep in mind what you're walking into in case you have sensitivities of this kind.

This property was a wonderful location to stay in Venice. We thoroughly enjoyed it and all the surrounding area provided for entertainment and dining. Our host communicated well throughout the process.

All good. Wonderful location.

The apartment is beautifully appointed. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen soft. We loved being on the Grand Canal and waking up to the sounds of the waves and boats going past. The location is really useful for everything you’d want to see in Venice and the local shops and restaurants are great. We loved our stay and would come again.

Beautiful and right on the water!

This was a wonderful location, almost next door to Academy Bridge. Very central to everything in Venice, walking distance or a convenient vaporetto stop around the corner.
Giovani was a great help when my friend got sick and had to go the hospital. Other than that, it was a lovely experience staying here. And you are sitting right on the Grand Canal watching the world go by.
Highly recommend staying here

We took a private water taxi from and to the train station, other than that we walked everywhere! Well situated with 2 minute walk to Accademia bridge and local square offering many restaurants and coffee bars. 20 minutes slow walk to St. Mark’s.
Apartment was smaller, but had everything we needed. Easy check in and out and easy communication with owner. We really appreciated the quiet location as we didn’t hear any late night Grande Canal noise on a Saturday night. Highly recommend!

This lovely Palazzo will always be foremost in my mind when I think of Venice. It was so nice to open the windows drink some Italian wine and watch the boats go by on the grand canal. The apartment had everything we needed and it was close to restaurants and shopping. Early morning it was a five minute walk to a shop that sold good coffee and tasty pastries. I just wish they had a memory foam mattress pad. The beds were incredibly firm.

We spent a very enjoyable week in this wonderfully located, well equipped and well-presented apartment in a truly stunning historic Palazzo on the Grand Canal. Strongly recommended.
4.8
This home is right on the main canal and an absolute awesome location. The house was perfect and lovely. Only complaint was the rock hard beds. Perhaps this is customary for Italian homes, but we sure missed our bed after a couple nights.

This was our second time staying in this lovely and well located apartment. Views from the living room are mesmerizing—like being on a houseboat with all the other boats going by. It’s also a short walk or vaporetto ride from every place we wanted to go.
4.8
We loved this spot. Took a water taxi right to the dock at the building. Inside had all the conviences we needed, comfortable beds and wonderful canal view. Able to walk to all major sites and excellent restaurants within walking distance. Orial was great welcoming us and making sure we knew how to use appliances and where everything was. I hope we get to come back some day!

Easy walk to neighborhood shopping and restaurants. Greeted at the door upon arrival and our host arranged a water taxi to airport when we left.
We will be back.

Cozy, little apartment for our stay in Venice. Located well, and very quiet. It made our stay easy and enjoyable.

Great location on the grand canal. Bathrooms and bedrooms are great. Small kitchen, but didn’t need to use it anyway. Love being able to look out windows and see the water and boat traffic.
4.8
This apartment is in a wonderful location. Awesome views of the Grand Canal plus it has its own taxi stop. Lots to see happening on the Grand Canal. It’s also very close to 2 Vaporetto (water bus/taxi) stops. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Venice again.
4.8
This is a great place to stay right on the Grand Canal. We arrived by water taxi to their private dock. There are also vaporetto stops close by.The location is ideal for seeing the sites. Close by L’Accademia bridge so you can easily get to Dorsoduro. Piazza San Marco is a quick walk away. You can enjoy your morning coffee watching the activities on the canal right out the living room window. Bedrooms face the Rio del Duca so it is quiet for sleeping. Highly recommend this as a place to stay in Venice.

This home was beautiful, better than expected. Since it was our first time in Venice did not know what to expect but Giovanni made it simple. We loved the neighborhood, a bit more reserve and less crowded but close to everywhere you would want to go. We would go back right away if we could. I would highly recommend this one!
4.8
This gem of an apartment was more than I expected it to be. Pictures display it perfectly. Everything was very simple once we arrived and met with Orial on the dock after our private taxi from the train station. The apartment was very well stocked and exceptionally clean. The apartment is perfectly situated in a wonderful area and close to many shops and restaurants. Although we didn’t have access to the dock we had a wonderful sitting area in the living room where we watched the boats go by all day. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again - it was a magical little gem.
4.8
Would stay here again and again. Wonderful property!

Family Trip to Venice
We loved the location of this property on the canal and found it perfect for our family. The air-conditioning worked great, which is usually a hot-button for our family. Check-in was smooth and we had absolutely no complaints!
Thank you for the great experience!

Great spot, plenty big for family, easy walk to San Marco Square, good air
Very good place on the Grand Canal.

Late check in was additional cost
Our trains were delayed putting us in Venice at 8:30 pm. We were charged an additional 50 Euro for a late checkin. Factor this in if you choose this property.
It also had linen for one bed left in the washer (we were unsure if it was clean or dirty) so had one night without sheets on one bed.

Fantastic gem on the Grand Canal
Loved our stay here! Very comfortable accommodations well situated and well stocked. Well certainly visit again
