The pictures of this beautiful apartment do not do it justice. It is large, perfectly ready with a great kitchen, extra pillows and blankets, and even cookies. It is comfortable and perfect for a family, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with sleeper couches also available.The location is fantastic, 5 minutes from Rualto and San Marco, each way crossing only one bridge. Waterbus stops at either place will get you anywhere you want to go.The neighborhood is safe, friendly, and has many great places for dinner.Most important, I cannot say enough about our gracious hosts. They were helpful, thoughtful, accommodating and truly friendly. We highly recommend Suite Malvasia. We spent a week and wished it were longer.

Cristina provided an outstanding 5-star experience from beginning to end. She warmly welcomed us near the Rialto Bridge, helped us find the property with ease, and made check-in seamless and stress-free.
The apartment was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations in every way. It was spotless, stylish, spacious, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was especially appreciated during the summer heat.
The location could not have been better—just a short walk to both Rialto Bridge and San Marco, making it ideal for exploring Venice while still feeling comfortable and relaxing.
One of the highlights was the wonderful Osteria restaurant located directly outside the property. The food was excellent, and we enjoyed some of the best Aperol Spritzes we had during our trip.
Overall, this was an exceptional stay, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Venice. Cristina was an incredible host, and we would absolutely stay here again.
Our stay at this Venice apartment was absolutely exceptional from start to finish the host. Cristina was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our trip was seamless, including helping us with travel arrangements which made arriving in Venice stress-free. The apartment itself was stunning- spotlessly, clean, beautifully designed and thoughtfully curated. The attention to detail was truly extraordinary. You can tell the host put a lot of care into creating a welcoming and comfortable space. What really set this place apart with a special touches. The robes and slippers made it feel like a luxury retreat, and the welcome extras – cookies, bottled water, and coffee – was such a thoughtful surprise and greatly appreciated. Everything about this experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate – you will not be disappointed. This was truly one of the best days we’ve ever had!
This is hands down the best rental we've ever stayed in! The care, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning put into this home are evident as soon as you step in the door. For example, they have two stunning chandeliers made from local Murano glass, original wood beams, and a washer with built-in detergent as well as a tumble dryer and several dryer racks. It is BEAUTIFUL, clean, comfortable, and luxurious. The apartment is even more spectacular in person than what you see on the provided pictures, which is rarely the case with rentals. This is the perfect place to stay in Venice, just a few minutes from both the Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square! Christina and Francesco are amazing hosts! They welcomed us and made us feel completely at home during our time in Venice. Christina has over a decade of experience as a tour guide in Venice, which comes with extensive connections for restaurants, transportation, etc, AND Francesco is a 5th generation Gondolier! Do yourself a favor - book this rental and enjoy all the help you get from this wonderful couple!
