About this property
San Marco Architect Designed Penthouse Apartment
Historic San Marco Penthouse Apartment is the perfect location for your holiday: here you will have the possibility to spend your Venetian days in a unique and fascinating location.
This large, airy and bright, non-smoking apartment is located on the third (last) floor, in a 500 year old architecturally-significant Palazzo. Renovated by a famous architect, the apartment is designed to create different spaces within it's wide open area: the wide living area with couch, chaise longues and armchairs; two cozy spaces with desks; a fully-equipped gourmand kitchen; a TV/Reading corner with a queen size sofa and opposite a corner that accommodates two single beds (which can be pushed together to function as a King bed). The master bedroom with Queen bed is totally separated from other spaces and is located in the opposite side, compared to the position of the single beds. The penthouse has two complete bathrooms: one with a shower and one with a tub. The apartment is equipped with all the modern comforts and facilities ,including air conditioning (Central Air Unit controllable in 4 zones), independent heating, free wifi internet connection, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave oven...
In this very unusual and spacious Venetian property, very quite and silent, you have the possibility to relax after an exciting day and also take small daily breaks since it's literally within steps of the most popular sights, shops, and restaurants in San Marco. Thanks to its central location you can easily reach Piazza San Marco and the Basilica, the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs in a few minutes walk. You'll have the opportunity to visit the monuments in the early morning, when they are not too crowded or you can be enchanted by the magic of Piazza San Marco in the night, with the orchestras playing. From the penthouse in 5-10 minutes walking you reach Rialto, Academia, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Piazza Santo Stefano, etc. In the immediate neighborhood you'll find a souvenir shop, pharmacy, pâtisserie, newspaper stand, coffee shop, good restaurant and bars, little grocery shop, fruit and vegetable shop, and also all the high fashion shops of the best Italian labels, that are located in this area of Venice.
The apartment is perfect for short or long term stays. Boat stop San Marco-Vallaresso (less than 5 minutes walk to the penthouse): - Line 1, from Piazzale Roma and train station every 12 min day time and every 20 min night time; Boat stop San Marco-Giardinetti (less than 5 minutes walk to the penthouse): - Alilaguna direct line to/from airport Marco Polo and to/from cruise terminal

We had a great stay in the penthouse - with a wonderful view of the tower. It was a nice place to get away from the crowns and heat but close to St Marks and lots of restaurants and shops.
The location was really ideal and the apartment was so nice to come home to after being out all day. The air conditioning was really great too! We would definitely highly recommend and would stay again!
The location was perfect for exploring the city's treasures, and the accommodations were comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. A huge thank you to our host for making our Venice experience unforgettable! Can't wait to return for another dose of Venetian charm.
The apartment is gorgeous convenient and comfortable! The location cannot be beat- down a quiet Calle but near st Marco the host has provided helpful tips for eating well and a well stocked kitchen for staying in. The beds were comfortable, the heat and ac worked well, having 2 bathrooms was perfect! We’d definitely go back!
The apartment location is ideal. It's a short walk from Piazza San Marco. Although there is no elevator, the stairs were easy to manage.
The place is very clean, and the pictures are accurate. I would definitely enjoy staying here again.
We loved our stay in this stunning and spacious apartment. It’s got everything you need and the unique loft design with exposed beams was a great feature. It was close to everything yet secure and quiet.
Just around the corner from the entry is a quite spot by the canal where you can watch the gondolas and boats go by.
Highly recommend this place.
In the heart of everything but in a quiet location. Took a vaporetto from the airport - fun way to arrive and we were met at the stop and walked to the apartment. Easy check in process. The apartment has air conditioning and once turned on, the property cooled off.
This apartment looks exactly like the pictures. It was only a few minutes from San Marco square and Rialto bridges making it a prime location. We loved the decor and wood beams. Giulio and his daughter,
This apartment is very unique. The design take you back in history as you look at how well preserved the wood used for the inside was placed to give the place a romantic setting. The property manager was awesome.
From initial booking to arrival, the communication was excellent and help getting to the apartment was greatly appreciated and went very well. We arrived during the film festival so all private water taxis were not available when we arrived but Giulio and Elena walked use right through what to do to arrive and start to enjoy our stay. The location is excellent. Close to everything! Literally minutes walks to any destination in Venice. The space is large, the head space is a bit of an issue I’m 6’2” so just had to duck a bit. The people of Venice were very friendly and it made our trip one to remember for all the right reasons!
The apartment is down a narrow pathway and it’s a bit dark but we always felt safe as there are many side streets that have many hidden places to explore.

SanMarco Loft Living
Check in went super smoothly thanks to info from host and his representative.
Location couldn’t have been better, but the unit itself needs some maintenance.
Beds were OK/Linens were basic but serviceable.
We stayed in early Oct but needed a/c which did not work in the king bedroom. We reached out to representative who supposedly reached out to maintenance…
A/C was never fixed and no follow-up from rep explaining why.
Also
Tall people beware—few areas of loft where you can stand completely straight.
Second bathroom is also very small and corner sink is so small it’s almost unusable
The apartment is beautiful and spaciously sized for three adults. We enjoyed staying in central San Marco without worrying about the noise. The check-in process was smooth and informative, but we didn't see the same level of support throughout. On the first morning we awoke to a strong sulphuric smell emanating from the AC in the bedroom and dining room. When we reached out to the PM, he said he'd check on it, but never followed up with us. The smell continued every morning of our stay even though we left the ACs off after the first night. The smell may be harmless, or within the building air ducts not the unit, but it was certainly anomalous to us and we had hoped it would be addressed during our stay.
Amazing location. Very close to St. Mark's Basilica. Great restaurants were just steps away. The host gave excellent travel instructions and even arranged a taxi service for our very early flight home! The apartment was perfect for my family of 4.
Wonderfully situated close to St Mark’s Square and other historical sites. Great access to all essential amenities. Really helpful property managers. Would highly recommend.
We had a most pleasant stay at Edward’s property. The apartment itself is so unique and comfortable, the location is central and the apartment has all the amenities one might need for a short or extended stay. Many food recommendations were provided by the host which was an added bonus.
Awesome location, ease of check in/check out, clean, fun (different from your typical apartment), spacious (super comfortable for 4), 2 bathrooms + kitchen, lots of options for sitting and relaxing. We loved it!
The stay in Venice was wonderful. This place is just like the pictures. It is as quirky as it is fun. Really loved the washer and drier. Water pressure in tub not good and air conditioner in small room off kitchen did not work. Once we found the place it worked out great and would stay again. Thank you for your patience Agnes.
Our family of 4 (including a 13 and 9 year old) enjoyed this apartment. It was in a great location and was everything we needed for our stay in Venice. Owner was very helpful, including in arranging transport to and from. Recommended!
Nice location, 5 minutes from the Basilica.
Bought a multi-day water taxi pass and used that to navigate the area. nice sandwich coffee shop 50 yards away. Everything worked well.
