San Marcuola apartment

Hotel Description

Nestled in the historic heart of Venice, the San Marcuola apartment is a charming 3-star accommodation that offers an authentic Venetian experience. Located at 1771 Corte del Tagiapiera in the characterful Cannaregio district, this well-appointed apartment combines traditional Venetian architecture with modern comforts. With an impressive rating of 8.6, the San Marcuola apartment has established itself as a highly-regarded option for travelers seeking a genuine taste of Venetian life away from the tourist crowds. The Cannaregio district, one of Venice’s most beloved neighborhoods, provides guests with a perfect balance of local atmosphere and convenient access to the city’s major attractions. Just steps from the Grand Canal and the San Marcuola vaporetto stop (from which the apartment likely takes its name), this accommodation places guests in an ideal position to explore everything Venice has to offer while retreating to a more residential, peaceful area at day’s end.

The San Marcuola apartment’s exceptional 8.6 rating reflects its outstanding value and authentic appeal. Situated in Cannaregio, guests will find themselves immersed in one of Venice’s most vibrant and least touristy sestieri (districts), where local Venetians still outnumber visitors. The area is renowned for its picturesque canals, historic Jewish Ghetto (the world’s first, established in 1516), and charming neighborhood wine bars known as “bacari” where you can sample local cicchetti (Venetian tapas) alongside residents. From this privileged location, the iconic Rialto Bridge is approximately a 15-minute walk, while St. Mark’s Square can be reached in about 25 minutes on foot or via a scenic vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal. The apartment’s position in Corte del Tagiapiera offers a glimpse into traditional Venetian living, with its characteristic courtyard setting typical of residential Venice.

The San Marcuola apartment stands out among Venice accommodations by offering travelers something increasingly rare in this popular tourist destination: an opportunity to experience the city as locals do. While maintaining the comfort expected of a quality 3-star property, the apartment’s location in Cannaregio provides guests with proximity to authentic restaurants serving regional specialties at reasonable prices, neighborhood shops catering to residents rather than tourists, and quiet canals where gondolas are replaced by the boats Venetians use in their daily lives. The high guest satisfaction reflected in its 8.6 rating speaks to the apartment’s ability to deliver on both comfort and authentic experience. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee while watching the neighborhood come to life, returning for an afternoon rest after exploring the Venetian lagoon, or stepping out for an evening passeggiata (stroll) along the fondamenta (canal-side walkways), the San Marcuola apartment offers a genuine slice of Venetian life that many visitors to the city miss entirely. For travelers seeking to experience Venice beyond the famous landmarks and tourist hotspots, this well-rated Cannaregio accommodation provides the perfect home base from which to discover the many layers of La Serenissima.

• Elena from France – 25 February 2025 (9/10)

  Wonderful very luminous apartment in the very center of Venice, close to the vaporetto station, and walking distance from the grocery store. The apartment has a balcony with amazing view over the city roofs. The apartment is fully equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave. There are air cons in every room. Great place for two couples or the family with kids, as there are two bedrooms. The host was very helpful and charming.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was great just some nuances 🙂 The water pressure in the shower was not very strong, possibly because of the high floor. But the view totally pays for it. It should be noted that there is no lift in the building, so it may be hard for some people to use the charming steep historical staircase to the top floor. And there is no TV in the apartment, so enjoy your digital detox, or take your tablets with you!

• Kat from Australia – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great location & close to many food outlets. Also super close to the ferry stop. Very clean, plenty of space for a couple & an easy check in process
  
  What could be improved: No TV & pillows were not great but overall a great place

• Gordon from Australia – 5 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great location away from the crowded parts of Venice. A short walk from the vaporetto stop Marcuola Casino. Light and airie apartment. Like so many have said there are stairs, most places will have stairs. Communication with the owner was very good. Adjusted our check in time due to a flight delay was not an issue. She was very helpful and had some good advice.
  
  What could be improved: We only had 3 days 😟

• Samantha from United Kingdom – 1 June 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely outdoor space, close to water stops, restaurants, air con, kitchen facilities, clean, host very communicative and helpful, great location.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing really apart from the stairs at the end of a long day ! However not really an issue, unless you have mobility problems. Kept us fit!

• Athina from Czech Republic – 9 May 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing host, great location, very quiet.
  The flat is really spacious and cozy. It has a washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer and cooking essentials.
  Giorgia was extremely nice and helpful. We'll be coming back for sure 🙂

• Quirk from United States – 13 March 2024 (9/10)

  We enjoyed the layout of the apartment, which was perfect for our small group. We loved having a washing machine as well. The location was great. Since it was the top floor of the building it had a nice view of the city. It was a short walk from the train station and there were many restaurants and shops nearby. It wasn't a long walk to the popular destinations, and we appreciated that it was in a quieter part of the city.
  
  What could be improved: We don't have any negatives to share!

• Carley from Australia – 22 August 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely apartment that had everything we needed. Well-equipped kitchen, apartment is just as the photos show really. As others have noted, the stairs are killer – but not unexpected. Vapporetto stop just metres away is super handy.
  
  What could be improved: Could have done with more pillows on the bed, maybe. But hardly a big deal. The mosquitos will get you if you leave windows open – so consider spray or a plug-in device.
