The San Polo Canal View Apartments truly live up to their name, offering guests captivating vistas of Venice’s famous waterways from select units. Each apartment has been thoughtfully designed to blend traditional Venetian aesthetics with contemporary amenities, creating spaces that feel both authentic and comfortable. The self-catering accommodations provide guests with the freedom to experience Venice like a local, preparing meals with fresh ingredients from the nearby Rialto Market—one of Europe’s oldest and most renowned food markets, where vendors have been selling fresh seafood, fruits, and vegetables since the 11th century. After a day of exploring Venice’s magnificent churches, museums, and palazzos, guests can retreat to their comfortable apartment, perhaps enjoying an aperitivo while watching the golden light of sunset play across the surrounding historic buildings and shimmering canals. The property’s location in San Polo also places guests within easy reach of numerous traditional bacari (Venetian wine bars) and restaurants where they can sample local cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and regional specialties.

What sets the San Polo Canal View Apartments apart is their perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. While offering a retreat from Venice’s busier tourist centers, the apartments remain within comfortable walking distance of major attractions, including the magnificent Frari Church with its Titian masterpieces, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco showcasing Tintoretto’s extraordinary ceiling paintings, and the Campo San Polo—one of Venice’s largest and most beloved squares. The property is also well-connected to Venice’s vaporetto (water bus) network, making it simple for guests to explore further-flung areas like the Dorsoduro district with its prestigious art museums, the iconic St. Mark’s Square, or the colorful island of Burano. The apartments’ management by Wonderful Italy ensures professional service and local expertise, with staff available to help guests navigate the city’s labyrinthine streets and discover hidden gems that typical tourists might miss.

Reviews

• Breda from Slovenia – 25 May 2024 (8/10)

  The questions that apperared in the beginning were answered by the owners of the apartment immediately. We communicated through Watsap,
  
  What could be improved: Just the fact that during the first day of our stay in the apartmernt it was very cold in the apartment. But the next day the problem was fixed because the radiators were warm (fixed by the owners).

• Daniil from Poland – 27 December 2024 (6/10)

  The location. Two separated rooms.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen owen was not working. The toilet was not comfortable at all… Shower was too small to take the shower. The staff was not responding on our requests…

• Laura from United Kingdom – 2 August 2024 (8/10)

  Brilliant location, very clean and well appointed. Key code entry reduced worry about losing the key. Plenty of storage space for clothes. Kitchen had what we needed.
  Directions to apartment were very easy to follow, even in the dark
  Communication with Wonderful Italy was really good, phone line issues meant we mainly used What's App. We were able to refer back and they helped sort any worries. Responses were swift and always so helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Communal areas need a little tlc, part of hand rail missing etc.
  Welcome pack consisted of 4 tea bags and coffee pods, not ideal for family of 5.

• Steven from United Kingdom – 17 April 2024 (8/10)

  The location was ideal. A very short walk to the grand canal. A lovely view of a canal from the apartments. Great sized rooms.
  
  What could be improved: Only tv was in the smaller bedroom and not in the main area
  Apartment upstairs were very loud on the last night. Could hear everything and they didn't stop till gone 3am. Understand this is hard for the host to controll

• Berian from United Kingdom – 2 April 2024 (8/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: No seating area, sofa etc

• Raj from Germany – 1 January 2024 (6/10)

  The apartment was good with separate rooms and a Couch in the kitchen area. In a good locality which has good connectivity across places. Walkable disdance to some iconic places and eateries.
  
  What could be improved: Rooms were very cold and heaters were kot working at all. It would have been great if we had a reception so that the attention is immediate.

• Alyson from United States – 31 October 2023 (8/10)

  Great location and close to amenities. Nice and quiet and it was a perfect temperature.
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to find, especially when you are struggling with suitcases. No kettle and limited kitchen supplies. Looks like the whole place could do with a good paint and updating.

• Myat from Thailand – 13 September 2023 (7/10)

  The location is great.
  
  What could be improved: There is only one air condition and it barely work. They should replace with stronger one in both room since its piping hot in the summer.

• Kritika from Denmark – 17 August 2023 (8/10)

  Superb location, clean space and had all basic facilities. Checkin instructions were very clear and enabled easy access to the property.
  
  What could be improved: Air conditioning was poor for a hot summer season. There is only 1 common air conditioner in the hall way and made it very difficult to sleep in the bedrooms at night. Plus the air conditioner needs maintenance. It is very old and not efficient with cooling.
  Also it would be nice to have some basic kitchen items like salt, sugar in the kitchen. It was difficult to have a fully functional kitchen but no availability of such basic items for a short stay.

• Laine from Latvia – 27 July 2023 (8/10)

  Great location, easy self check-in, had problem with hot water that was fixed almost immediately. Excellent and immediate communication with owner/managing company!
  
  What could be improved: Would be great to have kitchen towel, proper salad bowl, medium size pan. AC unit definitely needs an upgrade.
