About this property

Grandiben Palace House

The house is an apartment in the heart of the historic center of Venice, owned by my family for many years. It is rented when my family does not use it, to recover the high management costs. Located in a historic building, it has large windows overlooking typical views of Venice, 5 minutes from Piazza S. Marco but away from the noise and the crowd of tourists. Very high ceilings, according to the building tradition of the 18th century Venice, an excellent base for visiting the city on foot, without the need to take public transport.
If you want, Emanuela can book a boat tour (a navy from 15 mt with sailor and guide on board), it cost 20 euro/person.
The tour (6 hours) cames to Murano, Burano, Torcello (1,5 hour in every isle) with visiting a glass factory in Murano.
The tour start at 11 in the morning and finish near S. Marco square .
To book, write to Emanuela.
Payment: 5 euros/person to confirm (when you’ll arrive in the apartment) and the rest to the desk, before the tour start.

The flat was spacious and very clean. Emanuela greeted us warmly and was very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great, with plentiful hot water. Good washing-machine and dryer. The kitchen was well-equipped, but we would have appreciated better/stronger lighting. Perfect location for us. Very quiet at night. We would stay here again.

Amazing place!

Highly recommend, in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas, but close enough for a quick walk to those areas as well. Very unique building as well. Well worth it.

Very nice

The place was very nice and roomy. We didn’t have a/c in one of the bedrooms the first night but contacted Angelo and it was set up the 2nd night. Bathrooms were wonderful. Only disappointment was that the beds were very stiff and uncomfortable. Everything else was great.

Angelo met us at the Arsenale boat stop and provided a very thorough check in and local recommendations. Apartment was spacious and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We walked or to the boat all over Venice. Host communication was excellent and we would definitely stay here again!

Gem in Venice

Our stay at Grandiben was very quiet, comfortable and was in a great location. 5 minutes to the water bus and San Marco. Emanuela met us at the water bus when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and kitchen well equipped. The bathrooms have been renovated and the washer and dryer were appreciated. We would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful apartment in a perfect location

We loved our stay here! It is located near all of the main attractions, yet in a quiet and residential neighborhood. Very near the water and vaparetto stops with lots of light, high ceilings and plenty of room. The kitchen was generously stocked with essentials. Communication was timely and clear. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit divine Venice.

Emanuella the host was very polite and quick to respond to our requests. She waited for us when we arrived in Venice and walked us to her beautiful spacious condo. The condo did not miss a thing. It had everything we needed from laundry facilities to wine glasses and wine bottle opener. We really enjoyed our stay! We would definitely go back.

Nice apartment a bit tucked away from the busy area where ferries and boats come in. Our host kindly met us at the dock and showed us to the apartment. We appreciated the laundry facilities and being able to leave our suitcases securely behind after the 10 AM check out.

Great house

We stayed at this property during our Venice visit. The house was close to all the tourist spots, easy to walk to St. Mark square and museums, yet away from the hustle near the port. We liked the cleanliness also. The host was super helpful, they came to get us from the boat ride on a rainy day! We totally enjoyed our stay here.

Simply Wonderful

The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well-stocked with basic staples provided. Very nice to have two bathrooms (—water pressure was great for shower-taking.) Loved the location —great neighborhood. And the property manager, Emanuela, could not have been nicer nor more helpful. Very much look forward to going back—-hopefully sooner than later!

Highly Recommend!

Angelo was a 5-star host! Angelo was there to meet us at the boat taxi drop off and escorted us to the centrally located apartment. Angelo provided many "tips and tricks" to get around Venice as well as recommendations for local dining, groceries and convenience stores. The apartment is spacious and centrally located within minutes of San Marco Piazza.

Great apartment with excellent security. The location is a quick walk to the heart of Venice and easy access to everything we needed. Angelo and Emanuela were great communicators who welcomed us and provided great recommendations and help with how to best navigate the city. Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Venice.

Good location

We were met at the vaporetto boat station (after host told us which stop to take) and walked to the residence. Good thing, because I don't think we would have found it on our own. The place was equipped with maps which the host explained to us. He told us the best way to get to the airport on our departure (although we left 1.5 hours earlier than he suggested, and it was needed for the check-in process). Navigating back to the boat stop was easy 5 minute walk. The residence is up 2 flights of stairs, so getting luggage in was difficult. It's far enough away from the tourist crowds that it was pretty quiet at night. We felt safe walking around the area at night. Venice itself is very crowded, but we found our own personal space at this VRBO
