About this property

Palazzo Notarbartolo an extraordinary charming house in the heart of Venice

The apartment is part of a patrician palace presumably dating back to 1300, formerly the seat of the Doge Marcello family. For several centuries it has been owned by my family and only 40 years ago it has been renovated and divided into apartments.

It is located in an absolutely enviable and strategic position a few steps from the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco.

It maintains many of its original beautiful and characteristic architectural elements: the verdant private garden with the characteristic well and the water door, the imposing wooden entrance door to the garden.

Inside the apartment, the high ceilings of over 5 meters with gothic trifora windows and the beautiful "Sansovino" coffered ceiling stand out. The apartment occupies part of the original ancient library and the dining room of the old building.

The house is equipped with effective air conditioning. In the living room, under the mezzanine, two large sofas (one of which is a double bed), a small table and a large flat-screen TV, offer a pleasant relaxation area. The dining area, under the large windows, is part of the living room. Everything is pleasantly decorated with antiques. On the mezzanine, above the sofa area, there is a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a single bed, a baby bed and a wardrobe. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and functional, there is a table for breakfast or informal meals. The main bathroom has a bathtub with shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet. Stairs lead from the entrance corridor to the bright main bedroom with half-moon windows. The master bedroom has a small bathroom with sink and toilet.

Completely renovated with a mix of modern sensitivity and respect for original details, Palazzo Notarbartolo will offer its guests a unique and unforgettable experience in Venice!

Tenants are provided with bed linen and towels; the cleaning service is provided only at the end of the stay for short periods, for periods longer than a week the price includes a cleaning service and change of linen.

The tourist tax of € 4.00 per person / night (up to 5 nights) is payable in cash on arrival. Children up to 10 years do not pay, young children from 10 to 16 pay 50%.

Going back in time

It was like going back in time (in a good way) in this apartment. It has the charm of being old, but the comfort of modern amenities. We were able to walk from the train station in about 30 minutes, but the walk was so interesting, the time flew by. The person who met us to check us in (Andrea) was amazing. After getting us settled, he walked us to a nearby restaurant for the best pizza we had the whole trip. I later messaged him for a gelato suggestion & he responded within minutes with another great recommendation. I really can’t recommend this place enough!

Beautiful apartment in centre of city

My family of 4 stayed at this beautiful, 2-story historic apartment for 3 days. The location is excellent -- on a quiet, lovely street but still steps from all of the main sites. Our kids loved the loft bedroom, and us adults loved that our bedroom was tucked away on the other side! There are some complications to traveling to Venice, but our host sorted those all out with us in advance, including clear instructions for a water taxi and awesome restaurant reservations. I enthusiastically recommend this property!

Amazing apartment with history!

Everything about our stay was perfection. From meeting the property manager at our boat taxi to check out, we loved our stay. It was the perfect space to enjoy family time and wine with friends in town. The secluded location but close to everything made this visit even more special. We will visit again!

With the exception of two aspects of this stay, our experience was favorable. These, though, were annoying.The first was that no sheets or towels were provided, It was necessary that we had to bring our own. We were aware of this going in, but it still detracted from our experience. The second is related: The three King beds are a real pain to make. They are low to the ground and have mattresses (foam) that are unwieldy to handle, especially because they are surrounded by a bed frame that makes it difficult to tuck in the sheets. I can see why the owners don't want to deal with it,

Great, roomy place in a perfect location

This was a great place for our family of 4. We loved how close it was to everything. Since we traveled with just backpacks we were even able to walk to the train station our last day. There’s a grocery store steps away. It was very quiet and relaxing.

Wonderful stay

We had a fantastic three-day stay at this VRBO property in Venice. The two rooms were spacious, and the living and dining room were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The location is central, making it easy to get around and enjoy everything Venice has to offer. A special thanks to Andrea, the house manager, who was incredibly helpful and informative throughout our stay. We truly appreciated the hospitality and highly recommend this property for anyone looking to experience Venice comfortably!"
