Grandiben Palace House

The house is an apartment in the heart of the historic center of Venice, owned by my family for many years. It is rented when my family does not use it, to recover the high management costs. Located in a historic building, it has large windows overlooking typical views of Venice, 5 minutes from Piazza S. Marco but away from the noise and the crowd of tourists. Very high ceilings, according to the building tradition of the 18th century Venice, an excellent base for visiting the city on foot, without the need to take public transport.
If you want, Emanuela can book a boat tour (a navy from 15 mt with sailor and guide on board), it cost 20 euro/person.
The tour (6 hours) cames to Murano, Burano, Torcello (1,5 hour in every isle) with visiting a glass factory in Murano.
The tour start at 11 in the morning and finish near S. Marco square .
To book, write to Emanuela.
Payment: 5 euros/person to confirm (when you’ll arrive in the apartment) and the rest to the desk, before the tour start.

Angelo was a 5-star host! Angelo was there to meet us at the boat taxi drop off and escorted us to the centrally located apartment. Angelo provided many "tips and tricks" to get around Venice as well as recommendations for local dining, groceries and convenience stores. The apartment is spacious and centrally located within minutes of San Marco Piazza.

Amazing place minutes away from the heart of Venice
Great apartment with excellent security. The location is a quick walk to the heart of Venice and easy access to everything we needed. Angelo and Emanuela were great communicators who welcomed us and provided great recommendations and help with how to best navigate the city. Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Venice.

Good location
We were met at the vaporetto boat station (after host told us which stop to take) and walked to the residence. Good thing, because I don't think we would have found it on our own. The place was equipped with maps which the host explained to us. He told us the best way to get to the airport on our departure (although we left 1.5 hours earlier than he suggested, and it was needed for the check-in process). Navigating back to the boat stop was easy 5 minute walk. The residence is up 2 flights of stairs, so getting luggage in was difficult. It's far enough away from the tourist crowds that it was pretty quiet at night. We felt safe walking around the area at night. Venice itself is very crowded, but we found our own personal space at this VRBO

Gem in Venice
Our stay at Grandiben was very quiet, comfortable and was in a great location. 5 minutes to the water bus and San Marco. Emanuela met us at the water bus when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and kitchen well equipped. The bathrooms have been renovated and the washer and dryer were appreciated. We would definitely recommend this property!

Cool 15th Century Apartment
The apartment was beautiful. The owner met us as we got off the vaporetto and guided us the short walk to the apartment. Communication was excellent. We had everything we needed for our stay. Notes: Apartment accessible only by stairs. AC is only in main room, but eventually cooled the whole apartment.

Highly recommended! Perfect location.
The property was very spacious and had everything we would want. The location is perfect; tucked away down and alley from the main water front in Venice. A short walk to all the main attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Both Angelo and Emamuela were very helpful and responsive to any questions or issues. They recommended a boat tour, met us at the boat stop after we arrived and made the visit a wonderful experience!

One of the nicest places I’ve even stayed.
Absolutely great. Host met us at the water bus and walked us to the apartment on first day, even though I’d mistakenly gone to the wrong stop. Fantastic location - close to major sites but in an area that I think has some actual locals. Apartment itself was luxurious and beautiful. Extremely well equipped and maintained. Very clean and comfortable. Quiet at night. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Host was amazing. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends.

This is gem! We were so happy to stay this apt for three days while traveling in Italy. Emannuel was kind hostess, she met us on dock as we arrived by water bus, showed us apt in and out. She even gave us option as where to keep our bag if we wanted to keep luggages in apt. She was first of many people who warnning of pick pocket. And I really appreciate your cleanness. My husband who had dust mite allergy did not cough single time while we were staying your place! Thanks! If you come this way, you should stay this place. I definitly will stay again!

Overall a great stay. The apartment is close to everything Venice has to offer. Just wish there were easier directions to follow from different modes of transportation. Make sure to note which train station to arrive to and which waterbus/taxi to take. But it was all ok in the end

Great stay in Venice
The property was perfect for us - 2 couples (4 adults). The host was very friendly and helpful and met us on arrival. The location was perfect - short walk to the tourist spots but just out of the way enough to stay out of the tourist mess if you wanted. Many shops, cafes and restaurants just around the corner. Clean, comfortable and would definitely stay there again.

Quiet Retreat
The 2 bedrooms / 2 baths was a perfect scenario for our family visit. I've made many trips to venice so can easily compare locations. This was a good one. Near the Arsenale boat stops where you can catch boats easily. And you're a 5 min walk to S. Zaccaria stop where you can catch the 7 directly to Murano. There's a neighborhood butcher, bakery and gelato place! Note that the shower is tiny and it does leak a bit (we used towels to sop it up) and the tub stopper in the other bathroom won't hold in the water. But those are really the only 2 things that need attention. (we did lose power the last morning but we had been told where to look for the breaker box in case that happened.) The communication was great all around and we were very pleased with our choice of apartment! Thank you, Claudia and Emanuella!)
