COZY APARTMENT NEAR RIALTO BRIDGE/ ST.MARK SQUARE

COZY APARTMENT NEAR RIALTO BRIDGE/ ST.MARK SQUARE Overview

First Impressions

Venice has a way of making even the simplest places feel special, and COZY APARTMENT NEAR RIALTO BRIDGE/ ST.MARK SQUARE is a good example of that. It sits on Calle Morandi in Cannaregio, tucked away on the ground floor — piano terra, as the Italians say — which honestly gives it a more residential, lived-in feel than your typical tourist accommodation. You’re not walking into a lobby full of rolling suitcases and check-in queues. It’s quieter than that, more personal.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about this spot — the location is genuinely hard to beat. Cannaregio is one of those neighborhoods that still feels like real Venice, not the over-polished version you get right around San Marco. And yet, you’re still just a short walk from the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square, which means you get the best of both worlds. The location score sits at 9.4, and honestly, that tracks — couples especially seem to love it here, rating it a near-perfect 9.8 for a two-person trip. It’s the kind of place where you can wander back from dinner along quiet calli without fighting through crowds.

The Apartment

It’s a three-star property, so don’t come expecting a grand hotel experience — but that’s sort of the point. What you get instead is something that feels more like borrowing a friend’s Venetian apartment for a few days. The ground-floor setup means easy access, no stairs to wrestle with luggage on, which — if you’ve ever dragged a suitcase over a Venetian bridge — you’ll know is actually a meaningful detail. It’s cozy in the truest sense of the word, not just as a marketing term.

Getting Around

Staying in Cannaregio puts you in a genuinely well-connected part of the city. You’ve got vaporetto stops nearby, which is how you’ll want to get around if you’re heading to the islands or further parts of Venice. The Rialto market is practically on your doorstep — I mean, if you’re an early riser, going there in the morning before the tourists arrive is one of those Venice experiences that sticks with you. And St. Mark’s Square, for all its crowds, is close enough to visit and then retreat from quickly, which is exactly how you want to do it.

Why Guests Love It

The rating sits at 8.1, which for a self-catering-style apartment in one of the most visited cities in the world is a solid, honest score. People aren’t coming here for room service or a spa — they’re coming because they want to actually be in Venice, not just near it. The combination of a top-rated area, a price point that makes sense for what you get, and that intimate, apartment-style setup makes it a smart pick for couples or anyone who wants their base to feel like more than just a place to sleep. Well, and the Rialto is right there — which never gets old.

Reviews of COZY APARTMENT NEAR RIALTO BRIDGE/ ST.MARK SQUARE

• Kenneth from United Kingdom – 8 December 2024 (9/10)

  Very good central location, easily accessed form nearby waterbus stop. Walkable distances to all major points of interest, an excellent bakery just around the corner – very handy for breakfast.
  
  What could be improved: The kettle had to be plugged in on the floor of the kitchen area owing to a broken socket at counter level.

• Gospodinova from Bulgaria – 27 July 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is clean, cozy and air-conditioned. The location is perfect – quiet and close to attractions. There is a store close by.

• Tracey from Australia – 19 June 2024 (8/10)

• Yi from Canada – 12 May 2024 (9/10)

  Very nice!

• Alexandra from Germany – 9 April 2024 (9/10)

  the location was easy to get to considering the streets of Venice, the location is walking distance from the main area, not far from the Rialto bridge. A map was provided in the room which was great as it was self check-in
  
  What could be improved: WIFI reception wasn't great but that maybe a Venice thing. TV in both bedrooms was not working or not easy to turn on (no major issue to be honest)

• Kiyoko from United Kingdom – 25 December 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely apartment
  
  What could be improved: 2 bedrooms
  Good size for couple with child

• Branislav from Slovakia – 19 November 2023 (8/10)

  It was very nice apartment. Quite small, but with almost every necessity you could need. Pictures, mirrors and exposed brick wall were nice touches to make it feel special.
  
  What could be improved: Ants were there. Sometimes just the small ones on the floor, but sometimes also the bigger ones with wings, mostly in the bedroom next to the kitchen. It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't very pleasant either when they fell from the ceiling to the bed.

• Possidonio from United Kingdom – 3 October 2023 (8/10)

  Air conditioning very helpfull in keeping this ground floor cool. Apartment short distance (walk) to the main touristic atractions in Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Small apartment (typical Venice houses) a bit outdated interior walls, special in the bedroom coat paint start peeling, bricks loosing consistency and releasing granules falling on the floor, we kept sweeping every day.

• Giuseppina from United Kingdom – 7 September 2022 (7/10)

  Central, clean, helpful staff
  
  What could be improved: Door handle to 'back courtyard' is a bit dangerous

• Bernd from Germany – 20 July 2022 (9/10)

  The appartment was perfect, with two bedrooms, very functional for a small appartment as is usual in Venice. It was very hot in Venice during our stay, so we benefited greatly from the powerful air conditioning system. Among other things, the additional bidet in the bathroom deserves a special mention. The apartment is very conveniently located, to Rialto Bridge 800 m, to Piazza San Marco 1 km, but the best is to the Vaporetto waterbus station it was only 350 m. We had a 3-day-ticket (per person 40 €, single ticket 7,50 €) and we used it very often to discover Venice and to cross the Grande Canale. The contact via WhatsApp was very helpful, mainly due to the technical problems of booking.com to forward the messages of Beatrice. Thank you for the wonderful stay in Venice.
  
  What could be improved: We didn't like things that are probably unavoidable in Venice. The small inner courtyard was only to be used for drying laundry, since the exhaust air from the air conditioning system went out there. But for drying laundry it was perfect 🙂
