Venice Heaven Apartments Biennale 10 min from San Marco Square Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Venice Heaven Apartments Biennale 10 min from San Marco Square on Salizada Sant’Antonin, you immediately get that feeling you’re staying somewhere locals actually know about. This four-star property sits tucked away in Castello — honestly one of my favorite neighborhoods in Venice because it feels authentic without being touristy. The building itself has that weathered Venetian charm, and when you climb to the second floor, there’s something satisfying about knowing you’ve found a real gem here.

The Castello Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re close enough to San Marco that it’s a pleasant 10-minute walk, but far enough away that you escape the cruise ship crowds. Castello has this wonderful mix of neighborhood cafes where you’ll hear more Italian than English, plus you’re practically next door to the Biennale venues when they’re running. The location score of 9.7 makes total sense when you experience it firsthand. You know what’s great? You can actually hear the city breathing here instead of just the constant chatter of tour groups.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place — thoughtfully set up with everything you actually need. The kitchen is properly equipped (not just a mini-fridge and hope), which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the Rialto market and cook something simple. Each room has been designed with genuine comfort in mind, and the beds are honestly better than what you’ll find in most hotels. The whole space has this lived-in elegance that makes you want to settle in for more than just a night or two.

Neighborhood Rhythms

What strikes me most about staying here is how quickly you fall into local rhythms. There’s a wonderful little restaurant around the corner where the owner remembers your face after one visit, and the morning walk to get coffee becomes this lovely ritual. The area comes alive in the early evening when Venetians finish work — you’ll see kids playing in the campos and smell dinner cooking from apartment windows. It’s Venice as it actually is, not just as a backdrop for selfies.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 rating tells the real story — this place delivers on what it promises without any pretense. Couples especially seem to connect with the romantic authenticity of it all (that 9.8 location rating from couples makes perfect sense). You get the independence of having your own space, the charm of staying in a real Venetian neighborhood, and easy access to the major sights when you want them. Plus, there’s something deeply satisfying about having parking sorted in Venice — trust me, that’s worth its weight in gold. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re living in Venice rather than just visiting it.

  Although very close to San Marco, the location is in a quiet area. The apartment is spacious, well equipped, furniture is in good condition and the bed is very comfortable.

• Dicle from Turkey – 23 November 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is fantastic, more like a five star hotel with all the facilities. Veronica is an excellent host as she told us every detail in advance, even the route from the airport. When we arrived she was waiting for us. She welcomed us very nicely and told us every detail we needed. The location is perfect. I'll definitely book this beautiful apartment again if I have the chance to visit Venice again.

  Great apartment, we really liked our stay there. Wonderfully equipped and has everything you need to spend a few days on vacation. The apartment is spacious, beautifully renovated and maintained to a high standard. Excellent location, close to the center but quiet, there are good restaurants nearby and also a grocery store under the house. A few minutes walk to Giardini and Arsenal.
