Located at Sestiere San Polo 3089, this delightful property places you in one of Venice’s oldest and most enchanting neighborhoods, where the true essence of Venetian life unfolds around every corner.

The San Polo district, where our apartment is situated, is renowned for its historical significance and central location within Venice. Just a short stroll from the apartment, you’ll discover the magnificent Rialto Bridge spanning the Grand Canal – one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks and a bustling hub of activity since the 16th century. The celebrated Rialto Market is also nearby, offering a vibrant display of fresh seafood, local produce, and authentic Venetian specialties that has served locals for centuries. The district’s labyrinth of narrow streets and small campos (squares) provides an intimate glimpse into everyday Venetian life, away from the more tourist-heavy areas of the city. San Polo is also home to several architectural and artistic treasures, including the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto, believed to be one of the oldest churches in Venice, and the magnificent Scuola Grande di San Rocco, adorned with masterpieces by Tintoretto.

The San Rocco Apartment itself embodies the distinctive charm that has earned it its solid 8.1 rating among discerning travelers. While maintaining the classic Venetian architectural elements that make Venice properties so unique, the apartment offers comfortable accommodations designed to make you feel at home in this magical city. The strategic location in San Polo means you’re perfectly positioned to explore Venice’s major attractions while enjoying a more authentic neighborhood experience. St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace are easily accessible, either by a scenic walk through Venice’s captivating streets or via water taxi along the Grand Canal. After a day of exploration, return to your tranquil retreat at San Rocco Apartment to relax and reflect on your Venetian adventures. The surrounding area offers numerous traditional trattorias, bacari (wine bars), and artisan shops where you can sample local delicacies and purchase handcrafted souvenirs. The apartment’s placement in this residential yet central area provides the perfect balance between tourist convenience and local immersion, allowing guests to experience Venice as both visitors and temporary locals. With its ideal location, comfortable amenities, and well-regarded reputation reflected in its strong guest rating, San Rocco Apartment offers an excellent base for your Venetian sojourn, whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend, a family vacation, or a cultural expedition through one of the world’s most extraordinary cities.

Reviews

• Iraj from United States – 25 June 2023 (8/10)

  1. Good location.
  2. Very large and clean room.
  3. Large bathroom.
  
  What could be improved: 1. Struggled to get to the apartment from the train station because Booking.com has District and not exact Street address listed for this apartment.
  Wish there was exact STREET address and NOT the District address TO BEGIN WITH.
  Ask for the STREET address if you're booking this apartment.
  2. We were provided with only 2 large and 2 small towels for 4 days / 3 nights.
  Washing machine was broken and we couldn't use it.
  3. This is one room (studio) and not one-bedroom apartment.
  P.S. One-bedroom apartment generally refers to 1 bedroom + 1 leaving room, which this apartment is not, so this is one room / studio apartment (although very large).

• Vanessa from Australia – 13 November 2024 (8/10)

  It was in a great location. Easy to get to from the station. Was set up well and next to a quiet canal. Close to cafes, bars and restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: Difficulty with the front door lock but learnt the trick.

• Jennifer from Australia – 17 January 2023 (9/10)

  the location was perfect for my stay,
  
  What could be improved: ?

• Gina from United Kingdom – 27 June 2022 (9/10)

  The check-in was excellently carried out by Ernst, extremely thorough and informative and an information folder was left at the property too. We were very pleased that the accommodation met all our expectations and was just as described.
  
  What could be improved: A minor point – no doubt the owners are aware that the shower hose and head are spraying everywhere and that they ideally need some attention/maintenance.

• Tatjana from Sweden – 8 July 2024 (8/10)

  Nice apartment with all necessary equipment. Very central with lot of restaurants.

• Ollie from United Kingdom – 11 June 2023 (7/10)

  The location of this apartment is brilliant – very secure and quiet.
  Our host Freddy was very helpful and informative.
  The balcony was a lovely place to sit and relax.
  
  What could be improved: The front door to the accommodation was very difficult to open which meant we spent 30 mins each day trying to open it.
  Also on our first day the boiler wasn’t working which meant we had to have cold showers, it was fixed later on in the day.
  The shower itself had good pressure, but the shower head is faulty and it sprays in all directions, making it quite unpleasant to use.
  There were mosquitoes in the room and this meant me and my partner got a few bites during our stay.
  We were told initially that we could do a self check in, but when we queried where to collect the keys the night before arriving we were told that it was no longer offered, meaning we had to rush from the airport to get there before 8:30pm to avoid a late check in fee of €35.

• Sara from Germany – 21 June 2022 (8/10)

  Excellent location.
  Residential building, not tourist.
  Good air-conditioning.
  Balcony was a bonus.
  Good bed linen and towels.
  Large bed.
  
  What could be improved: Furniture was functional but old.
  Kitchen could do with an upgrade. Also kitchen: better quality cooking utensils would be an improvement (crockery was fine).
  Mosquito blinds were a little difficult to use partly because the chains seemed to be broken (but the blinds were efficient when in place).

• Christopher from France – 10 February 2025 (9/10)

  Everything. Good location, few minutes walk from Bus station. Very quiet. Nice decor.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike

• Mandy from United Kingdom – 20 October 2024 (9/10)

  Great location. Quiet. Outdoor space. Well equipped. Comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Leonie from South Africa – 30 September 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was neat and clean and was in a great area that was easily accessible to the train station and close to great bars and restaurants. A close walk to st marks square and other great tourist attractions. I would book this apartment again. Earnest who met us to check us in was so helpful and gave us great tips on the city of Venice.
  
  What could be improved: No complaints
