Quiet Open-Space in Historic Palazzo steps from San Marco
Description of the property
A charming open plan apartment in a historic building in the heart of Venice, between San Marco and Castello Districts, perfect for an authentic Venetian experience.
With 5-meter-high ceilings, Venetian floors, and a splendid shared terrace overlooking a canal, this unique space comfortably accommodates up to 4 people.
It is found in a quiet street just a 2-minute walk from the San Zaccaria vaporetto (waterbus) stop, with no bridges to cross. Within the immediate surroundings, you will find excellent restaurants, a variety of shops, supermarkets, and some of Venice’s most iconic landmarks, including St. Mark’s Square, St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace.
Despite its central location, the apartment ensures peace and quiet thanks to its large, soundproof double-glazed windows: you may barely hear the gondoliers passing along the nearby canal.
Welcome to Tommaseo, an airy and bright open space on the Piano Nobile (main floor) of a historic building, recently restored to combine classic charm with modern comfort. The space features high ceilings with decorative exposed wooden beams and exquisite Venetian terrazzo floors. The living area features a double sofa bed and a modern, fully equipped kitchen. The apartment is fully equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and modern appliances for a comfortable stay. Two wooden staircases lead to two open mezzanines that serve as sleeping areas:
Mezzanine 1: King-size double bed (180 cm wide), wardrobe, and private bathroom with shower.
Mezzanine 2: Standard double bed (140 cm wide), chest of drawers, and private bathroom with shower.
Shared Terrace Access
Guests will have exclusive and private access to the entire apartment. They can also enjoy the large furnished communal terrace, located on the ground floor and accessible through the communal entrance all with a charming direct canal view. Please note: the terrace is not directly connected to the apartment but is easily accessible by crossing the corridor from the entrance hall.
Other Details to Note
Layout: Please note that the apartment is open plan. The bedrooms are on mezzanines that open onto the main living area and cannot be closed off, thus offering limited privacy. It is ideal for couples, families with older children, or groups of close friends.

Quirky, cute and charming apartment in Venice. No elevator, so had to drag the bags up 2 flights. And they had a washer but no way to dry clothes. The outdoor terrace is for all the building residents. But the high points were 1) the location, 2) comfortable beds and 3) the location. Seems each place we stay has its own quirks, decor and attitude. It was clean, communication was good and we found the grocery and laundromat well enough.
Loved this VRBO! The location was close to a square with restaurants and shopping. It was a short walk to St. Mark’s Square and Basilica. They arranged and met us at the dock and then arranged our water transport to the airport. Would recommend this to my friends.
The apt was very nice and cute. Well decorated. Great location with a view of a canal. It had a nice common area to sit outside. Tracy, the property manager was super. She keep in contact with us prior to our vacation, meet us at the dock when we got off the water taxi and walked us to the apt. She arranged a porter and the water taxi back to the airport on the day we departed. She explained the apt, trash pick up and local activities and place to see. Our only complaint was the very small staircase to one bedroom (not pictured) and the upstairs where the bedrooms are was quite warm. The heaters were on when we checking in. Tracy suggested not to open the windows because of the mosquitoes. Perhaps some oscillating fans in each bed room to move the air around.
Super gelegene Wohnung ganz nah am Markusplatz und einer grossen Vaporettoanlegestelle. Ruhige Umgebung.Due Treppe zu dem zweiten Bett ist relativ steil.
Terrasse non accessible depuis appartement, bruits appareils (humidificateur, chauffe eau, frigo,...
Logement très bien situé, une belle architecture intérieure, mais pas de terrasse accessible directement depuis l'appartement, et beaucoup de bruit avec le climatiseur intérieur, le chauffe eau, la climatisation, le frigo. les chambres étant ouvertes, aucun moyen de réguler ces bruits désagréables (hormis la climatisation que l'on pouvait éteindre)
