Description
An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Mark’s Square.
Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard ‘Corte Rubbi’, on the Castello/San Marco border, this once forgotten building has been magically transformed by restorers with vision and interior design savoir-faire.
Standing at the gondola-busy T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, and encapsulating 8 dazzling apartments of varying colourway and size, the newly launched Corte Rubbi is but a stroll to some of Venice’s most iconic attractions and countless beguiling vistas on which to feast your eyes!
Easy to find (when you know the way!) from the shop-lined Campo San Bartolomeo and Salizada San Lio on one of Venice’s canal-encircled ‘islands within an island’, these imaginatively furnished apartments offer Wi-Fi and a communal laundry room and are spread across 4 floors with all upper floors reached by stairs.
Highly contemporary in style, air-conditioned** throughout and ranging from a charming studio for 4 to a fabulous penthouse with rooftop terrace, Corte Rubbi’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:
Corte Rubbi 11 – on the 4th Floor reached by stairs – sleeping 2 (+2) . Upon previous request we can organize a porter service with a surcharge.
The palazzo’s romantic penthouse apartment – a cosy and characterful retreat with attractive beams, sloping ceilings and a spectacular furnished ‘altana’ rooftop terrace enjoying a breathtaking view of the ‘Rio De Bareteri’ canal and its bridges, the 16th-century church of San Salvador to the right and the instantly recognisable spire of St. Mark’s Campanile topped with its golden archangel Gabriel.
Its stylish accommodation comprises:
A main living / dining room with warm wooden flooring underfoot, wooden timbers overhead, a double sofa bed sleeping 2 guests, a dining suite and a well-equipped kitchenette suited to light cooking. Steps to the fore lead up and out onto the fabulous ‘altana’ rooftop terrace boasting that remarkable and quintessentially Venetian view!
A luxurious bathroom with chromotherapy shower to the side
A splendid principal bedroom with a double bed and canal views to the fore plus a pristine en suite bathroom with chromotherapy shower to the rear all cleverly concealed behind a rose-pink sliding door
Important – Please be sure to take a look at the photo gallery to better appreciate the restricted headspace in certain areas of this apartment
Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other apartments within this palazzo: Corte Rubbi 1, Corte Rubbi 3, Corte Rubbi 5, Corte Rubbi 6, Corte Rubbi 8, Corte Rubbi 9, Corte Rubbi 10, Corte Rubbi 11 and Corte Rubbi 5514
OUR COMMENT
A romantic penthouse with a spectacular rooftop terrace and canal views, in a vibrant, central and endlessly fascinating part of town.
A few steps away from the 18th-century church of Santa Maria Della Fava and close to a host of famous sights and attractions including the atmospheric Venetian time-capsule that is the Querini Stampalia, the fabulous Palazzo Grimani just off Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of San Zaccaria with its crypt and wonderful Bellini altarpiece, and Vivaldi’s La Pietà on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront…
… A short stroll towards a very sedate pace of life lived out amongst the tranquil calles, canals and green spaces of Castello with its laid-back and very genuine neighbourhood vibe…
… Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square (‘the Piazza’) gloriously near-empty before its visitors arrive… or visit at night when the orchestras of Quadri and Florian play*, the bells of the Campanile (bell tower) toll, the marble of the Doge’s Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darkness…
Close to a host of shops, restaurants and bars including the much-lauded Alle Testiere, the upmarket Bistrot de Venise and Alle Corone of the nearby Hotel Reali, the charming Osteria Al Portego (delicious cicheti!) and Osteria Ae Sconte, plus Ristorante Santa Maria Formosa with its tables on the campo.
Also within easy reach of 4 well-stocked supermarkets – a Despar at Calle al Ponte de la Guerra, a COOP at Salizada San Lio, and a COOP and a Despar on the Riva del Carbon (near the Rialto Bridge), along with a ‘Vino Sfuso’ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocer’s stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the ‘Traghetto’ gondola ferry carrying passengers across the Grand Canal between the Riva Del Carbon and San Silvestro in the San Polo district and the vaporetto (water bus) stop at San Zaccaria for trips around town, visits to the Lido beaches and to the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.

Terrific location. Beautiful apartment check in with Matteo was a breeze. As is the case with all Venetian top floors, ceiling is very low. If you’re are tall consider acclimation in same building on a lower floor.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in the beautifully renovated Corte Rubbi and the top floor apartment was deceptively spacious and extremely well decorated and furnished. The location was a perfect balance of being secluded, whilst literally halfway between Piazza San Marco and the Rialto, surrounded by shops and restaurants. We didn’t quite appreciate how magical the position of the apartment was until visiting and we loved the balcony, high over the canals, looking down on one of the most popular bridges and routes in the city.
A short stroll to the Co-op and bakery each morning made breakfast on the balcony a magical treat. Whilst headroom was limited in places and the climb to reach the apartment could be tiring at times, there’s really nothing to detract from a beautiful apartment which has been so tastefully renovated. We can’t recommend Corte Rubbi’s apartments highly enough and number 11 was a delight to call ‘home’ for the week. |

Clearly it is impossible to retrofit an elevator in the building, but the climb to the very top floor could be tiring.
We would have really enjoyed a bath in large bathroom where there seems to be ample, unused space to locate one and this would have been a fantastic addition to an already well-equipped apartment. We suffered terribly with mosquito bites whilst sleeping as a result of having had the doors to the balcony open on numerous occasions. It would have been helpful if there had been some form of mosquito repellent in the apartment to help combat this. Finally, a small ‘welcome hamper’ containing milk, coffee capsules and perhaps some breads and jams - or a similar Continental breakfast offering - would have been very much appreciated and added that final touch of luxury. |

The property was very spacious and a nice mixture of old architecture but furnished in a modern way that didn't detract from its character. The Views on Venice Team were very friendly and helpful.

My only suggestion would be a small welcome pack of say wine, bread, cheese, ham and milk.
After traveling it would be nice not to have to go back out for these.

Three newly revamped apartments in a pretty, salmon-pink, antique palazzetto within the calm and cultured setting of upmarket San Samuele. Elegantly attired in a classic, homely style and peacefully positioned within a genteel neighbourhood dotted with galleries and antique shops well clear of the hustle and bustle yet close to Campo Santo Stefano, these inviting apartments are of differing sizes and sleep up to 10 guests when taken together. Just a few steps from the renowned Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art in a parish that legendary lover Casanova called home, the palazzetto offers a stylish address to rest easy within a short and pleasant stroll of the many attractions of St. Mark’s Square. Moments from the illustrious Palazzo Mocenigo on the Grand Canal (the one time Venetian bolthole of ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ British romantic poet and literary figure, Lord Byron) and boasting air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and a warm and welcoming ambience in each, the Ca’ Grassi apartments comprise: Ca’ Grassi 3 (Sleeps 3 on the 3rd (top) Floor reached by stairs – no lift) Communal palazzetto entrance with stairs rising up to the apartment entrance • The apartment’s internal hallway and short stairway leading directly up to the stylish, high-vaulted, loft-style main sitting/dining room/kitchenette – a characterful space dressed in sun-bleached eau de nil and parched papyrus colours featuring a large L-shaped sofa, bespoke shelving and cabinetry inset with wall-mounted TV plus several windows overlooking the ‘Salizada’ • A dining area seating 4 to the centre of the room, plus a simple and well-equipped kitchenette to the rear • A darling ‘altana’ roof terrace just off the main room – southwest-facing, furnished and an ideal spot for taking breakfast, or unwinding in the sunshine after a busy - or not so busy! - time around town • A charming double bedroom to the rear, featuring a low and heavily beamed ceiling and a double bed (positioned fairly low to the floor due to the ceiling height) • A refreshed bathroom with bathtub and shower over, set between the main room and bedroom * Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close to each other but in separate apartments? We offer 2 other apartments in this Venetian palazzetto (little palace): Ca’ Grassi 1 (on the 2nd Floor) and Ca’ Grassi 2 (also on the 2nd Floor) OUR COMMENT A property to delight in all its wood and linen loveliness...! Much loved by previous guests and now refurbished to offer comfortable and peaceful accommodation in a great spot… and with an ‘altana’ rooftop terrace too! Situated right beside ‘Casa Veronese’ (once the home of the 16th Century Italian Renaissance painter, Paolo Veronese) and within steps of the neighbourhood grocery store/delicatessen, a wine shop, a range of cafes/osterie (including those fringing the nearby Campo Santo Stefano), plus the gallery of interior designer Chiarastella Cattana - a discreetly sophisticated showroom of fine and distinctively woven textiles and furnishings – and, for scent-lovers, the Venice outlet of the famous Florentine ‘Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’ (one of the oldest pharmacies in the world and one time fragrance maker to Catherine de’ Medici). A stone’s throw to the Accademia Bridge crossing the Grand Canal over to Dorsoduro and conveniently close the vaporetto (water bus) stops at San Samuele and Sant' Angelo for easy travel around the city, and to the ‘traghetto’ gondola ferry which, during operating times, carries passengers across the Grand Canal between Calle Del Tragheto (near Sant’ Angelo) and San Toma in the district of San Polo For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.29 reviews

A fabulous apartment offering one of the most spectacular panoramic views in the whole of Venice. Located on the peaceful and laid-back island of Giudecca (where Sir Elton John also has a home!) and directly across the Giudecca Canal from the Dorsoduro district, this chic and sunny property is on the third and top floor and combines comfort and style with an enviable position right next to Palladio’s Church of the Redentore. It has a tastefully decorated living room and dining area with full length windows opening directly onto the terrace (which itself runs the entire length of the apartment and is furnished for dining ‘al fresco’), one double bedroom, a fully fitted kitchen and a bathroom with bathtub and shower. A staircase leads to the extraordinary wooden ‘altana’ (roof terrace) which, along with the downstairs terrace, offers uninterrupted bird’s-eye views over the Giudecca Canal towards St. Mark’s, Dorsoduro and the domes of Santa Maria Della Salute - perfect for sunbathing, relaxing with a glass and a book or simply taking in the panorama as the boats sail by. And while you’d be forgiven for wanting to spend the whole of your holiday in a state of complete relaxation at the apartment, it’s great to know that you’re only three minutes by boat to Dorsoduro and five to St.Mark’s for sampling the very best in culture and ‘retail therapy’ that Venice has to offer – indeed the best of both worlds! Once well-known for its palazzi with gardens and now for its authentic and true ‘Venetian’ feel, Giudecca boasts a number of restaurants ranging from the beautiful canopied terrace of ‘Harry’s Dolci’ and the sophisticated restaurants of the Hotel Cipriani, to those offering simpler and more modest dining and prices to match. Or if you’d prefer to opt for a romantic dinner ‘at home’ under the stars, then stock up on groceries at one of Giudecca’s small stores, the local COOP supermarket (just a short stroll away near the vaporetto stop at ‘Palanca’) or the Prix near the Redentore even closer to home. OUR COMMENT A modern and romantic top floor apartment in a prime position on Giudecca with panoramic views over the city of Venice. For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.7 reviews
