About this property

Palazzo Notarbartolo an extraordinary charming house in the heart of Venice

The apartment is part of a patrician palace presumably dating back to 1300, formerly the seat of the Doge Marcello family. For several centuries it has been owned by my family and only 40 years ago it has been renovated and divided into apartments.

It is located in an absolutely enviable and strategic position a few steps from the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco.

It maintains many of its original beautiful and characteristic architectural elements: the verdant private garden with the characteristic well and the water door, the imposing wooden entrance door to the garden.

Inside the apartment, the high ceilings of over 5 meters with gothic trifora windows and the beautiful "Sansovino" coffered ceiling stand out. The apartment occupies part of the original ancient library and the dining room of the old building.

The house is equipped with effective air conditioning. In the living room, under the mezzanine, two large sofas (one of which is a double bed), a small table and a large flat-screen TV, offer a pleasant relaxation area. The dining area, under the large windows, is part of the living room. Everything is pleasantly decorated with antiques. On the mezzanine, above the sofa area, there is a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a single bed, a baby bed and a wardrobe. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and functional, there is a table for breakfast or informal meals. The main bathroom has a bathtub with shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet. Stairs lead from the entrance corridor to the bright main bedroom with half-moon windows. The master bedroom has a small bathroom with sink and toilet.

Completely renovated with a mix of modern sensitivity and respect for original details, Palazzo Notarbartolo will offer its guests a unique and unforgettable experience in Venice!

Tenants are provided with bed linen and towels; the cleaning service is provided only at the end of the stay for short periods, for periods longer than a week the price includes a cleaning service and change of linen.

The tourist tax of € 4.00 per person / night (up to 5 nights) is payable in cash on arrival. Children up to 10 years do not pay, young children from 10 to 16 pay 50%.

Spacious and beautiful unit is Venetian palace

Enter the building through a lush, beautifully landscaped enclosed garden. The apt is lovely, beautifully and tastefully furnished and very spacious and comfortable for the 3 of us. Great location for visiting the main tourist spots or the biennale. Easy to communicate with host and apt manager. Very helpful with directions and suggestions for dining in Venice.

Family trip to Venice

We had a wonderful time in Venice! This apt is perfectly located- close to EVERYTHING- but also not in the highly crowded area. It was a retreat! The courtyard was quiet and beautiful. Our family of 5 were very comfortable - a short visit, 2 nights. Alessandra and Andrea were so helpful too in making recommendations on restaurants and transportation- they made the trip an easy success!

Beautiful apartment in centre of city

My family of 4 stayed at this beautiful, 2-story historic apartment for 3 days. The location is excellent -- on a quiet, lovely street but still steps from all of the main sites. Our kids loved the loft bedroom, and us adults loved that our bedroom was tucked away on the other side! There are some complications to traveling to Venice, but our host sorted those all out with us in advance, including clear instructions for a water taxi and awesome restaurant reservations. I enthusiastically recommend this property!

Going back in time

It was like going back in time (in a good way) in this apartment. It has the charm of being old, but the comfort of modern amenities. We were able to walk from the train station in about 30 minutes, but the walk was so interesting, the time flew by. The person who met us to check us in (Andrea) was amazing. After getting us settled, he walked us to a nearby restaurant for the best pizza we had the whole trip. I later messaged him for a gelato suggestion & he responded within minutes with another great recommendation. I really can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic spot in Venice

Our stay was amazing. Francesco was incredible at communicating with us. The check in process was great. The location was incredible. We loved the garden and the proximity to all the sites. The beds were comfortable and we would stay again and highly recommend it to anyone. We had help booking a water taxi and good recommend in the city.

Charming older apartment in Venice

This is lovely home with lots of original details and furnishings so you feel as if you are visiting close family rather than a hotel. The courtyard is a beautiful green space. We would have liked to have table and chairs available to sit out with a bottle of wine to enjoy part of the day away from the crowds.

Living like a Venetian

Easy process with rent and communication and lovely residential neighbourhood to immerse ourselves in Venice. A little bit noisy on the street and although the listing said sleeps up to 8, I think 4 adults is quite enough in this property with the bathroom facilities

Palazzo Notarbartolo

This is an extraordinary apartment in a wonderful area of Venice. Within quick walking distance are a butcher, bakers, greengrocers, grocery stores, winebars and shops of every kind. The Rialto Market, one of the true hearts of Venice, is twenty minutes away. The kitchem, though small, is very well-furnished with all you could need. I recommend Palazzo Notarbartolo without reserve.
