Residenza Cuor de Rialto

Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic San Polo district, the charming three-star Residenza Cuor de Rialto offers visitors an authentic Venetian experience with modern comforts. As its name suggests—”Heart of Rialto”—this well-positioned hotel stands just moments away from the iconic Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most celebrated landmarks. Boasting an impressive guest satisfaction rating of 8.1, this boutique residence has established itself as a reliable choice for travelers seeking quality accommodation in one of the world’s most enchanting cities. The hotel’s address at San Polo, 1603, places guests in a privileged position to explore Venice’s labyrinthine canals, historic piazzas, and architectural marvels, all while being immersed in the vibrant atmosphere that has captivated visitors for centuries.

The Residenza Cuor de Rialto exemplifies the intimate charm of Venetian hospitality, offering guests a genuine taste of local life while maintaining the standards expected of its three-star rating. From its doorstep, guests can easily wander to the magnificent Grand Canal, watch gondoliers navigate the waterways, or explore the famous Rialto Market where locals have gathered for fresh produce and seafood since 1097. The hotel’s favorable 8.1 rating reflects guests’ appreciation for its strategic location, which balances proximity to major attractions with the authentic character of a neighborhood where Venetians still live and work. San Polo, the smallest of Venice’s six sestieri (districts), is known for its artisanal shops, traditional bacari (wine bars), and picturesque campos (squares)—all accessible within minutes from the hotel. After days spent visiting landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace, which are just a short vaporetto ride away, guests can return to the welcoming embrace of Residenza Cuor de Rialto.

What distinguishes this three-star gem from other accommodations in Venice is its unique combination of accessibility, quality, and immersion in Venetian culture. The hotel serves as an ideal base for both first-time visitors and returning travelers who understand the value of staying in San Polo—a district that offers a more authentic experience than the heavily touristed areas around St. Mark’s. While maintaining the characteristic Venetian aesthetic that travelers seek, Residenza Cuor de Rialto provides modern amenities that ensure a comfortable stay amid the historic surroundings. Its solid 8.1 rating speaks to the consistent service and attention to detail that guests have come to expect. Whether watching the morning light illuminate the centuries-old buildings from your window, returning for an afternoon rest between explorations, or stepping out for an evening passeggiata (stroll) through lantern-lit streets, the Residenza Cuor de Rialto offers guests the rare privilege of feeling, if only temporarily, like a true Venetian. For travelers seeking to experience the authentic character of Venice while enjoying reliable comfort and convenience, this well-regarded three-star hotel in the heart of San Polo presents an excellent choice for creating lasting memories in the floating city.

Reviews

• Jame from United States – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

  I loved the location. It was the perfect distance from the train and other touristic activities. Unit was clean and well lit.

• Jennifer from United States – 11 October 2022 (9/10)

  Fantastic location! Nice big apartment, very friendly and helpful staff.
  
  What could be improved: Fairly noisy, and a broken toilet seat. Used soap packets in the shower.

• Imbi from Estonia – 3 July 2022 (8/10)

  The apartment is cozy and very well located – all attractions are within walking distance. Nightlife didn't bother us.
  
  What could be improved: I missed the items in the kitchen – a toaster, a more modern kettle, a microwave, a frying pan.
  Taking a shower takes time – the water is sometimes cold, then warm again.
  You can do laundry in the apartment, but there is no iron.

• Favio from Argentina – 2 July 2022 (9/10)

  The location, apartment size and that it’s a typical Venice apartment
  
  What could be improved: Given its popular location, it can be a little noisy

• Nicolos from Luxembourg – 10 May 2022 (8/10)

  Perfect position close to all the amenitites, comfortable beds and generally speaking big and comfortable apartment.
  
  What could be improved: a bit loud at night and early in the morning

• Erica from Australia – 27 April 2022 (8/10)

  Great location for a first visit to Venice – excellent communication & easy to access. Everywhere is in walking distance – comfy shoes a good idea.
  Apartment is spacious & comfortable
  (Due to the location there is people noise)
  
  What could be improved: Kettle didn’t work, no tea towel, no clothes airer (we chose the apartment for the washing machine)

• Kathy from Australia – 14 October 2024 (8/10)

  This apartment is in a great location. Close to a supermarket, good restaurants, short stroll to Rialto Bridge and the fish market and Grand Canal are a few steps away. Reasonably quiet in the evenings but most places walkable from the location. Loved having a washing machine which always a bonus when travelling.
  
  What could be improved: The location can get a but noisy and you feel very close to passersby, so if this is a concern it may not be the most ideal spot but if you want to hear people chatting away and feel a part of the city, than this is great.

• Kiran from United States – 29 September 2023 (8/10)

  Central location close to the vaporetto stop, clean and comfortable bedroom, good size living room with washing machine. Not cheap, but a fair price for Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Not much privacy in the living room as it's right next to and just above a busy bridge and restaurant, however we had no issues with noise in the bedroom thanks to the heavy windows and shutters. There was no drying rack or clothespins to use with the line outside the bathroom, and when I contacted the host they insisted that there was one there for hours before offering to bring clothespins by the next day. This was obviously not an emergency (we just hung our drying clothes on hangers and chairs) but I hope they are more responsive in serious situations.

• Petra from Netherlands – 13 May 2022 (8/10)

  great location, easy remote checkin, nice apartment. Fishmarket and vaporreti around the corner, Rialto 5 min away.
  
  What could be improved: just be aware it is central and gets a little loud, take some earplugs. We missed some things in the kitchen, but overall for a citytrip a great place to stay

• Philipp from Germany – 10 July 2022 (9/10)

  perfect location. well equipped apartment. super service from the staff.
