Wonderful Stay

The apartment was great for our family of 6. Plenty of space, comfortable, and a great Venetian vibe. The rooftop terrace was breathtaking. If I had one complaint, it would be that 2 of the bath/shower combos had handheld showers instead of being mounted. Other than that, our stay was perfect.

This home was an amazing place to stay that added to our experience of Venice. It accommodated our party of 7 adults beautifully. It is in a perfect location. Very easy to get to and then make our way around this wonderful city. The view from the rooftop terrace is spectacular. Roberto was incredibly helpful and readily available to help us. Would definitely stay here again and again.

Lovely Place to Stay in Venice

We were thrilled to have an elevator! The property manager was super helpful. Location was perfecto! The bathroom situation was a bit of a struggle for us with 7 people, but we managed okay. Getting up to the top floor would be tough for older folks. Most of our group was in their 60's and all the way up to an 84 year old (def needed the elevator).

An amazing palace in the heart of Venice

We stayed for 2 nights with my family (7 people) in July and it was truly an amazing experience. Location was fantastic, only steps from the Santangelo water stop. The apartment is the top two floors of an old palace with a rooftop deck. The apartment was breathtaking (lives up to the pictures), and would have been fine even if there were more of us. The entire process was easy and the communication was great. It was clean and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely Location and Home

Grand Canal Terrace was very centrally located and the apartment was spacious and well equipped. The views were beautiful, proximity to water taxis could not be closer and grocery store less then 5 minutes away. My son plays the piano and it was wonderful to find out it was well tuned! The deck was a wonderful spot to have our morning coffee or glass of champagne prior to starting our evening. We recommend getting in touch with Roberto and arranging a private water taxi with Andrea to pick you up and bring you to the the airport - the cost may be high but to arrive in Venice under moonlight and depart with the sun rising is a memory that will live with you forever and worth every penny! Thank you for a beautiful four days Lydia!

Overall, excellent, but with some quirks

The property is in a great location.The apartment added to a true Venetian experience. It is a place that would be appreciated by artists; the decor/colors follow a theme from Gustav Klimt. But I dont believe its suitable for renting to families with young children. Some of the antique furniture is too delicate for use. Also, the window shutters are very old. We were worried that they would break during our stay, and could hurt someone if they fell on the courtyard below. The owners really need to replace them. Also, it a bit odd but part of the shower doors were missing. You could still take a shower, but the missing doors was unexpected , given the quality of the place. All in all, I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Venice. Take the time to appreciate the extraordinary views from the terrace, and the decor. If I ever come back to Venice, I would try to book this place.

Grand Canal Terrace Stay

The location and ease to reach this apartment is excellent. It is a very large environment. Although Roberto was there to meet our arrival and walk us through everything we ha two issues with this property. The bedroom my wife and I and no electrical power. I require outlets that work to support my oxygen machine but there was no working outlets in the room. I had to use a small twin bed that had working outlets to get through the night. I called Roberto the next morning, twice but he never came back to look into the issue. I had to procure 2 look extension cords to run from the living room to power my oxygen machine for the balance of our stay. None of the bathroom had true showers, they had hand held portable shower hoses which were not very usable. We were adults 65-86 and these were not very practical.

Great Location & Space

The location was unbeatable! Easy walk (with no stairs or bridges) from a taxi/bus drop off dock and a 10 min walk to San Marco square. Only 5 min walk from the closest grocery store and main streets and just far away enough to be quiet. The place has a small elevator, which was a life savor with luggage. There’s so much space so we didn’t feel on top of each other. Only downside was the water tank, which we were told about upon arrival, but there was a piece missing or broken and the tank had to be reset every 1-3 shower uses. This became tedious with 7 people needing showers over a 5 day stay. The site manager, Roberto, is very helpful and quick to communicate. Overall, it was a great stay.

Paid too much.

First of all, the owner’s Venetian property manager was extremely helpful, accommodating, and responsive. He gets an easy five stars. The property itself is in a great location, and it provides a lot of space. However, it was not particularly easy to stay in, lots of quirks and little issues. There were issues with the boiler which were again, promptly addressed but led to us having no heat or hot water for 2 of our 6 nights and we were surprised not to receive any offer of recompense or communication from the owner about that.For a lower price these things would be fine to overlook, but for the price we paid I think we could have had a more comfortable stay elsewhere.

Enjoyed our stay

We had a great family trip and enjoyed staying in the Grand Canal Terrace. The building is over 300 years old so we felt like we were staying in a living museum. We stayed in Nov so while Venice was cold the heating worked well so we were comfortable. The apartment was well appointed and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. There are however a few issues that I noticed others also mentioned. One shower is in a bathtub and only has the shower hose/handle that you need to hold over yourself. The second shower has part of the door missing and you also need to hold the shower hose as it won't stay up. For this price point I would expect showers without these issues. One bedroom is really tiny, looks out over a laundry room and doesn't have curtain so it hard to sleep once it gets bright. The couches on main living area have no backs so hard to sit in for longer times. There is a couch on the upper level that is comfortable, but this area is much colder than main level. There isn't much of a view from the apartment itself. There is a good view from the upper terrace that is on the top floor but given the temperature we didn't use it on our stay. It was not possible to close the bedroom door to the twin bedroom. Overall, for the price I would expect a truly luxury experience so while it was a good place to stay it didn't fully live up to my expectations.

Absolutely fabulous stay in a fantastic location in Venice

We LOVED our stay at Grand Canal Terrace. We only stayed for two nights but afterwards wished we had stayed longer. The location can't be beat. It's steps away from the Sant'Angelo ferry stop on the Grand Canal. The view from some of the bedrooms and the rooftop terrace is phenomenal. The space is huge and was perfect for our big family group. It's a historic building but there is a lift to get you up to the top floor where the apartment is. We would absolutely stay here again!

A grand stay on the grand canal

Our stay was nothing short of amazing.  The location was perfect, even at night, we never felt unsafe.  We were less than a 1 minute walk to the closest water taxi stop.  There was a local grocery store that was within a 5 minute walk.   The apartment was spacious, way more room than we needed for 5 adults.  The view from the roof deck terrace was breathtaking.  You can’t ask for more, when you are sipping an aperol spritz from your roof deck taking in the views of the grand canal.   Everything was clean and the kitchen was full of the tools you would need if you were planning to make meals.   10/10 would definitely recommend the apartment.  The 80+ stairs definitely were a work out, but they had a fully functioning elevator that guests could use as an alternative.

Smart Choice

Very conveniently located - be sure to take the municipal ferry AND NOT A PRIVATE TAXI to get there because the private taxi will just dump.you by the doge's palace. The kitchen is top notch and well equipped. The rooms are comfortable and there is a wealth of books and entertainment. The roof top.deck is a nice.plus too.
