An ancient canal-side palace within minutes of St. Markâs Square.
Hidden away on its landside within the secret courtyard âCorte Rubbiâ, 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 Veniceâs 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 Veniceâs canal-encircled âislands within an islandâ, 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 Rubbiâs 10 apartments sleep up to 42 guests if booked exclusively and include:
Corte Rubbi 6 â on the 2nd Floor reached by stairs â sleeping 4
A peaceful and relaxing studio apartment looking onto the courtyard comprising:
A charming main living / dining / sleeping area in warm and welcoming ivory and pink with wooden parquet flooring underfoot, wooden beamed ceiling overhead, a pair of queen size double beds and a dining area seating 4
A well-equipped kitchenette for light cooking reached by a few steps up from the main room
A luxurious bathroom to the side with marble walls and chromotherapy shower

OUR COMMENT
A peaceful and relaxing studio for 4, 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 Vivaldiâs La PietĂ on the sunny Riva degli Schiavoni waterfrontâŠ
⊠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 vibeâŠ
⊠Or rise with the lark to embrace the atmosphere of St. Markâs Square (âthe Piazzaâ) 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 Dogeâs Palace glows, and the mosaics of the Basilica shimmer in the darknessâŠ
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 â 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 âVino Sfusoâ (wine on tap) shop on Calle del Mondo Novo and a greengrocerâs stand at Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
Within a short stroll of the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Rialto for exploring the city, the âTraghettoâ 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.

Apartment was spacious and clean. Sara was lovely and very helpful. Laundry was very handy as well. Only word of caution would be to confirm what unit you are getting, as we thought ours had a view of the canals so that was a little disappointingâŠ. Think when clicking on certain property, you get taken to external site?? All in all, stay was great! Beds were comfy and bathroom and kitchen were well stocked.
We loved this not so little studio apartment! The location was fantastic and near all the major attractions and wonderful restaurants. The beds were extremely comfortable and the shower was the best we had during our 15 day Italy trip. The hosts were wonderful and scheduled water taxi services for us to/from the train station making it very easy to find the apartment.
Even nicer apartment than it looks in the pictures. Very new, modern. Beds are very comfortable. Shower was big and water pressure was excellent. Kitchen was very adequate. Complimentary laundry in the building was great because we packed light. Lovely reception from the hosts. Location is perfect, near the Rialto bridge and popular vaporetto stop. Highly recommend for a family.
We loved our recent stay. The apartment was beautiful. Really loved the decor, immaculate. Perfect location. A lovely lady met us at the boat stop and took us to the apartment, which was very much needed. Would definitely stay here again and cannot wait to come back to Venice.
Overall the place is lovely - great location, spacious, and clean. It's tucked away in a nice little quite corner just off of Campo de la Fava. We had a small issue with the AC not working but the property manager was very responsive and even came to the apartment at 10 pm to try to resolve. The manager was also very open to resolving the situation amicably when the issue persisted. Would repeat our stary.
Room was wonderful, large and decently appointed. Everything was clean and well kept. Beds were fantastic, shower was spectacular and the air conditioning was wonderfully cold! Check in was easy and we gained some information for our stay from Enrica. Location is great, easy walking distance to Rialto area or Piazza San Marco and also to the station for the boat to Murano or Burano. This was one of my favorite stays in a short term rental!
