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 10 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 5 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 Il Palazzo’s 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:
Corte Rubbi 1 – Ground Floor – sleeping 4 (+1)
A fabulous 2-bedroomed apartment promising a true canal-side experience and sleeping up to 5 guests in ultra-characterful surroundings. Elegant and stylish, its accommodation comprises:
A striking main living / dining / kitchenette space featuring low-lit exposed brickwork, Venetian terrazzo flooring, warm wooden beams overhead and furnished with a well-equipped kitchenette suitable for light cooking, a dining suite for 6, and a sofa-bed looking out (through the palazzo’s water-door* flanked by columns) to the gondola-plied T-junction of the San Zulian and Bareteri canals, with the Ponte dei Bareteri Bridge crossing the water just beyond! A cosy and characterful room with great personality
A spacious and attractive double bedroom with double bed and 2 windows facing the Rio de San Zulian canal
A smart separate marble bathroom with shower
A restful 2nd double bedroom to the rear of the apartment with a double bed and a smart en suite marble bathroom with small bathtub and shower over

OUR COMMENT
An utterly charming apartment with eye-level 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.
