Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We can't sing the praises of this Venetian apartment in a traditional palazzo highly enough. The location next to Squero di San Trovaso, a historic gondola yard that's the last still active in the city, puts you close to a huge range of attractions, while there are idyllic views of the square and a local church from the large living room window. To top it all off – quite literally – there's a rooftop terrace on which to dine and watch the sun setting over local rooftops.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths
The apartment's on the second floor of a building with no elevator, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
The home can be booked out in conjunction with the building's bottom two floors to accommodate up to thirteen guests across six bedrooms
The second bedroom can be arranged as a king-size bed or twin singles as preferred
As is the case with the majority of homes in Venice, there's no private parking available, but the nearest Vaporetto stop is only a minute's walk away
Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected

About Dorsoduro
Located just south of Rialto, Dorsoduro is a large and culturally rich quarter.
