About this property

An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Mark’s Square.

Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard ‘Corte Rubbi’, on the Castello/San Marco border, this once forgotten building has been magically transformed by restorers with vision and interior design savoir-faire.

Standing at the gondola-busy T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, and encapsulating 10 dazzling apartments of varying colourway and size, the newly launched Corte Rubbi is but a stroll to some of Venice’s most iconic attractions and countless beguiling vistas on which to feast your eyes!

Easy to find (when you know the way!) from the shop-lined Campo San Bartolomeo and Salizada San Lio on one of Venice’s canal-encircled ‘islands within an island’, these imaginatively furnished apartments offer Wi-Fi and a communal laundry room and are spread across 4 floors with all upper floors reached by stairs.

Highly contemporary in style, air-conditioned** throughout and ranging from a charming studio for 4 to a fabulous penthouse with rooftop terrace, Corte Rubbi’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:

Corte Rubbi 5 – on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs – sleeping 2+1

A beautifully attired bijou studio enjoying canal views from its 2 windows to the fore and comprising:

A charming main living / dining / sleeping area in fashionably clashing shades of flamingo pink and scarlet with Venetian terrazzo flooring, wooden beamed ceiling, a double bed with twin bunk beds to the rear, a well-equipped kitchenette for light cooking, and a dining area seating 4

A luxurious bathroom to the side with marble walls and chromotherapy shower

Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other apartments within this palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1, Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514

OUR COMMENT

A bijou studio for 4 bursting with colour and joie de vivre, in a vibrant, central and endlessly fascinating part of town.

A few steps away from the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava and close to a host of famous sights and attractions including the atmospheric Venetian time-capsule that is the Querini Stampalia, the fabulous Palazzo Grimani just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of San Zaccaria with its crypt and wonderful Bellini altarpiece, and Vivaldi’s La Pietà on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront…

… A short stroll towards a very sedate pace of life lived out amongst the tranquil calles, canals and green spaces of Castello with its laid-back and very genuine neighbourhood vibe…

… Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square (‘the Piazza’) gloriously near-empty before its visitors arrive… or visit at night when the orchestras of Quadri and Florian play*, the bells of the Campanile (bell tower) toll, the marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness…

Close to a host of shops, restaurants and bars including the much-lauded Alle Testiere, the upmarket Bistrot de Venise and Alle Corone of the nearby Hotel Reali, the charming Osteria Al Portego (delicious cicheti!) and Osteria Ae Sconte, plus Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa with its tables on the campo.

Also within easy reach of 4 well-stocked supermarkets – a Despar at Calle al Ponte de la Guerra, a COOP at Salizada San Lio, and a COOP and a Despar on the Riva del Carbon (near the Rialto Bridge), along with a ‘Vino Sfuso’ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocer’s stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.

Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the ‘Traghetto’ gondola ferry carrying passengers across the Grand Canal between the Riva Del Carbon and San Silvestro in the San Polo district and the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for trips around town, visits to the Lido beaches and to the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.

Excellent stay for family vacation

My family and I stayed at Corte Rubbi 5. The spacious room was perfect with comfortable beds and modern washroom. The location is ideally located within walking distances to all the interesting sites and main shopping streets. The Views on Venice team was excellent as host with booking the water taxis to and from the train stations. Check in and out were helped by one staff which made the process seamless. Overall, highly recommended.

Great property

The location is great (a little tricky if you use google maps) property was clean, nice and cozy. It gives a vibe of classy and luxury. The bathroom is great. Kitchen also good. Plugs have usb. Beds were comfy. Keyless, access is with code (very convenient). The only suggestion would be to add more areas for luggage but is not really a problem. Would totally recommend this property and the manager was very kind and responsive

BEST VRBO in VENICE!

I've stayed in many VRBO's but this one tops them all! You feel transported to a beautiful Venician space, as soon as you walk in the front door. The property is as beautiful as the photos, the space is well thought out for four guests. My teen kids loved the bunk beds - they were large and comfy. All the amenities were things you would need, such as an umbrella, a foldable shopping cart, ironing board, coffee maker, toaster, etc. I would give this 5 stars without the location! BUT, the location is amazing - it is right in between St. Marks Square and the Rialto Bridge. (Easy to take trips to the other islands b/c close to the main boat location) You can look out the windows in your apartment and look over the canal, watching boats and gondolas maneuver through the narrow turns. This property and location was the highlight of our European trip! Thank you!

Amazing stay in Venice

My wife and I stayed here for our first visit to Venice. The apartment was perfect- centrally located, and next to the vaporetto, felt like we could get anywhere in Venice in less than 15 mins. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean, and being right on one of the smaller canals was very enjoyable as we could see boats and gondolas riding by. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Views On Venice

Views on Venice was founded in the late 1990’s when the concept of short term apartment rentals was in its infancy and rarely considered an option by most visitors to the city. As a ‘thirty-something’ Venetian excited by the new business and communication opportunities offered by the internet, I decided to link up with a close childhood friend in creating a partnership which, at the time, was a novelty in Venice.
The idea we had in mind was to approach the traditional management of my family’s apartments from an entirely different angle, while at the same time resisting the attentions of those wanting to transform my family's palazzo into a prestigious hotel.
Our aim was to offer these apartments, as well as those of friends, for rental to an international clientele who’d take pleasure in the comfort, freedom and authenticity of ‘living at home as a Venetian’ rather than merely observing the city from the confines of an anonymous hotel room or suite.
The common denominator then, as now, was to offer ‘something extra’ amidst an already extraordinary city - an added dimension which turns a ‘stay’ into an ‘experience’ and a 'dream' into 'reality'.
