La Corte dei Cuoridoro 1 A Perfect Pied-a-Terre in San Marco
Follow in the footsteps of 15-century Doge Francesco Molin at his former home â Palazzo Molin del Cuoridoro â in the San Marco sestiere.
An exceptional example of a Venetian Gothic palazzo complete with coat of arms, Gothic Fiorito windows and exquisite water doors*, the palazzo is now home to 2 meticulously restored VOV apartments with towering ceilings, designer furnishings, touch-control technology and terrazzo floors.
Like an imperious grande dame commanding respect and adulation in the midst of all the action near La Fenice and St. Markâs Square, this historic palazzo (listed for its importance by the Belle Arti**) provides an astonishing backdrop to:

A luxury palazzo apartment with contemporary character, with world-famous attractions waiting to greet you at every turn.
Close to some of Veniceâs finest luxury boutiques, 3 well-stocked supermarkets (plus one very closeby specialising in organic foods), a local wine shop just off Campo Santo Stefano, countless bars and restaurants (including Ristorante Da Ivo â often in the press!), along with one of Veniceâs most famous coffee and pastry shops â Marchini Time.
Within a short walk of 3 vaporetto (water bus) stops â Rialto, San Marco Vallaresso and SantâAngelo for easy movement around the city - and to the traghetto gondola ferry at Santâ Angelo/Garzoni crossing the Grand Canal to San Toma in labyrinthine district of San Polo.
An easy amble across the iconic Rialto Bridge to the Rialto Market (food shopping heaven!) Also within a short stroll of the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and the Accademia Bridge.

We had a wonderful five nights in Cuoridoro 1.
The apartment is just as shown in the images (with a small dining table near the window). It was clean and well-maintained.
The location was outstanding for reaching several points of interest quickly. Entry/exit was straightforward.
The Views on Venice staff was very helpful with checkin and checkout. They were extra-helpful in dealing with unexpected wrinkles in water taxi arrangements. And they had some great restaurants to recommend.
We would definitely stay again. Would definitely work again with the property manager.
