Held all the charm of Venice. Filled with culture, the high ceilings were amazing. Great facilities! Very spacious. We could walk in any direction and find a local restaurant or mini shops to enjoy. Very close to Rialto bridge and San Marco square.

Pros: Comfortable beds, excellent location & great directions to apartment.
Cons: Apartment was not as described in images on advertisement. Shower leaked. Heating barely worked & one controller was missing. A kettle would be useful. Sink plug in bathroom was broken. Nobody got back to us regarding the images being incorrect.

It was okay
It was labeled a luxury apartment but it was a bit dilapidated. The wood flooring would come up when you walked on it. The location was good though. Close to where we wanted to visit.

Communication wasn’t great. I didn’t get any checkin information and had to call for it the day of arrival. Was very difficult to get through and when I got through, they wouldn’t send me any information until the additional fee was paid. Room was very large and clean but very noisy upstairs.

We loved staying here. The doors opening onto the canal were a real treat. I saw reviews complaining about the smell, but we had no issues whatsoever. You are staying on the canal - of course it will smell like water! If you follow the directions you are given to the property, you will not get lost (do not use Google maps, just use the directions you are given). We would recommend this property 100 times over. We genuinely loved it!

Venice - Riva Palace apartments
Nice apartment, really good location. Automated check in was nice - except they did not include link to Tourist Tax, and you can't finalize check in without that. I had to reach out and beg for the link the night before arrival. And property needed maintenance: BR AC did not work well, shower drain very slow. No wifi, it would have been handy since I had to find and download AC operating instructions online.

Unfortunately the pictures did not make the property, picture was modern and clean, we got old and rundown.
Dangerous carpet on the stairs.
Dirt and fluff coming out from beneath the beds.
Good things.. restaurants and shops nearby, walking distance to Rialto Bridge, water buses close by.

The property is in a good location close to city centre. Direction provided were straight forward so we got there with ease. There are shops Nd restaurants within 2min walk. However, it smelt of fish from the previous guests cooking and it was a little cold si we had to keep our jumpes on. The smell made us doubt its cleanliness. Also the floors are old and uneven and pause a trip hazard.

Beautiful HUGE apartment!
Traveling to Europe with a party of 9 can be challenging, especially when it comes to accomodations. When we found a place that had enough beds for all 9 of us in Venice we booked. We were expecting a medium sized apartment like we had in Rome and Florence, that while a bit tight they worked wonderfully. When we opened the door to Riva Palace we were shocked! The size of the apartment was HUGE!!! Extremely tall ceilings, huge bedrooms, American sized beds (beds in Europe I have found to be smaller than what we have in hotels here). The ceilings had amazing drawings. The windows in the farthest room had balconys with a canal underneath so great pictures. The 2 bathrooms were big. The apartment was clean, had towels out for everyone plus extra if needed. Extra bedding for the pull out couch which we used (was surprisingly really comfortable). The kitchen was well enough stocked with the basics (we didn't really use it). The location was perfect as it was near the #1 boat and super easy to get around as well as close to one of the main bridges. It was near to the hustle and bustle, but also in a very quiet area that gave the feeling of being in a "neighborhood".
We would highly recommend this location to anyone, especially if you are a big group. We would definitely stay here again!

The apartment was amazing at one end it opened up onto a canal, where you could just sit and watch the water traffic like gondolas and other boats pass by. There were restaurants and cafes close by, and public transport was only a short walk away. We loved it and would recommend this property to anyone holidaying in Venice.

The view is everything! The fact that the apartment was spacious and air conditioned well was a bonus! The kitchen was ideal and the refrigerator was perfect because the Coop market is down the walkway. Close to everything, famous fish market, Rialto bridge, grand canal, etc.

A little tricky to find, luckily I bought the SIM card so I can use GPS. They give you instructions/directions before you come with pics. Might work for you. We enjoyed ourselves. My only problem (which is out of their control) is the smell of the water. Great property, cool view

This was a bit of a bait-and-switch, with very nice, canal-side apartment pictures being used, glossing over the units that are up three flights of stairs, with no balcony, and your view of the canal is achieved by hanging over a window ledge. Our internet only worked in the kitchen, which was frustrating. It was fine, but not what we were expecting.

Beautiful. Agency situated far away from location
It is a beautiful place. Very spacious.
Unfortunately... something needs to be done about where people have to go to check in as it is far from accommodation and in another direction. A 10 minute walk from santa lucia station and with luggage it's ridiculous. Then euro 100 on vaperetto to get there and a water taxi 1 goes to san silvesto.
1. Get offices at train station or accom places
2. Do not suggest the most expensive form of transport just cz u receive a commission from vaperetto .... have standards and suggest the one easily available!
Over all the place is perfect ...beautiful...stunning. all amenities. Newly done. Restaurant nearby just lovely. Easily accessible by regular taxis at 7.50 euro pp etc. You can buy your pass online too.
Enjoy.

Apartamento bom e confortável, porém com muitas escadas, estávamos com 10 malas e foi muito cansativo chegar até o segundo andar.
O ar condicionado está com algum tipo de programação que durante a estadia de 4 dias não consegui retirar, então durante a noite ele desligava e sentíamos calor.
Lençóis, toalhas e aspecto da acomodação limpos.

Le falta equipamiento básico. Las fotos que se muestran no se relacionan en nada a la realidad. La propiedad está en buenas condiciones, en un tercer piso sin ascensor. Los baños están en regular estado, no se pueden cerrar bien las puertas ni mucho menos poner llave. La cocina mal equipada, faltan vasos, cubiertos , y no hay absolutamente nada de uso básico como sal, aceite, etc. En conclusión el concepto de Luxury Palace resulta un poco ridículo.
La ubicación es muy buena.
