We simply loved this home! It was in a great location, quick boat rides to everywhere and pretty easy to walk even with little kids. Tons of cute coffee and pastry shops within minutes of walking, delicious restaurants close by and of course gelato! The view was incredible and the house was comfortable. The kitchen was large and there was a huge laundry room. The bedrooms were the only place with air conditioning and it worked very well there. It was quite warm in the rest of the flat but tolerable. Easy check in with a welcome snack and drink which was a very nice touch! The one exception to this place is the pillows are almost impossible to sleep on. They felt like a stack of hay flattened and roped together. Super uncomfortable and an easy fix for the owners so hopefully they fix that! Otherwise a wonderful experience!

Enjoyed our stay. The rental agency was very helpful as we dealt with some big travel issues. The location of the home is perfect. Stunning and well-maintained palace is spectacular! Highly recommend it.

Loved our 8 days in this beautiful place right on the Grand Canal where we watched the Regatta from our balcony. New bed mattresses would definitely be an asset as well as pillows. Very well appointed kitchen. Konara the on site supervisor was excellent. Water pressure in showers is dismal… but the baths were great.

My husband, friends, and I had a wonderful stay at this palazzo in Venice during Carnivale! Here's a brief summary of our experience in the palazzo. The good: -nice, quiet location in less touristy area -the morning light is bright & lovely in the sitting room -groceries, cafes/restaurants, and shopping are nearby -prominent vaparetto stop that runs late into the night -Anna, the property manager, was very kind and responsive to our questions and needs -Having daily housekeeping was great -Being on the Grand Canal was incredible! The not so good: -SUPER slippery floors/steps/rugs (several of us fell and got badly bruised) -Beds are big, but several were stiff and uncomfortable for side sleepers -The second set of steps leading up to the front door are steep and slick. We had to very gingerly walk down them and tightly hold the handrail. -There is no elevator, and getting luggage up the steps was an ordeal Other things to note are: -The San Polo church (Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari) has wonderful marble and paintings from famous Italian artists. -Most of the electrical outlets are old style 3-prong configuration. Bring your adaptors. -Getting to San Marco (or back again) takes a little more planning and effort. You will need a vaporetto, traghetto, or to cross the Rialto or Accademia bridge to get on the other side.

There is not a more romantic or fairytale setting in Venice than Serenissima. Built in the 14th century, it has all of the charm of a late Middle Ages palace. Tall ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and furnishings, and all of the amenities —laundry room, maid service, etc. it is perfectly situated in the heart of the City on the Grand Canal with its own dock for water transportation. It was perfect. We can’t wait to come back.
