Recently renovated, directly opposite the historic Osteria all'Arco

Rialto 3 is the apartment for those who want to be in the heart of Venice, 100 metres from the Ponte di Rialto, directly opposite the Osteria all’Arco — one of the most well-known historic bacari in the city. 50 square metres recently renovated: a double bedroom with its own bathroom, a shared living space with a fully equipped kitchen and a sofa bed for up to 4 guests. The kitchen has a gas hob, an espresso machine and everything needed for a self-sufficient stay. In the morning you can pick up breakfast ingredients from the market, which is literally 100 metres away: fruit, vegetables, fresh bread. The apartment is on Calle dell’Arco, one of the most characterful calli in the Rialto area, steps from both the fish market and the produce market. Second floor, so two flights of stairs — but the position makes it worthwhile. The vaporetto stop Rialto Mercato is 100 metres away, San Marco is a 5-minute walk.

Where Venice lives every day

Rialto 3 is for those who want to be exactly where everything happens. You’re on Calle dell’Arco, opposite the Osteria all’Arco — one of the historic bacari most appreciated by Venetians and by visitors who know the city well. The market is 100 metres away: in the morning you go down and pick up fresh fish and vegetables, come back and cook with the kitchen you have at your disposal. The apartment has been recently renovated, so everything is new and functional. The double bedroom is separate with its own en-suite bathroom, practical if you’re a couple or a family. The sofa bed in the shared living space takes two more guests. Second floor, so there are stairs, but the central position compensates: 100 metres from the Ponte di Rialto, 5 minutes from San Marco, the vaporetto stop right there. The right choice for those who want to be at the absolute centre and don’t mind stairs.

How the apartment is laid out

Rialto 3 covers 50 square metres on the second floor of a historic building on Calle dell’Arco, in the heart of San Polo. The apartment has been recently renovated — everything is new and well finished. The bedroom is separate with a double bed and a private en-suite bathroom, for privacy.

The shared living space integrates the sitting area with the kitchen: a sofa bed for two additional guests, and a fully equipped kitchen with gas hob, fridge-freezer, kettle, toaster and espresso machine — everything needed for a self-sufficient stay. A dining table for eating together. The en-suite bathroom has a bidet, shower, hairdryer and courtesy kit. Blackout curtains, clothing storage, extra pillows and blankets are all included. No washing machine in the apartment, and no private building entrance, but self check-in via Smart Lock for full autonomy.

Why this apartment?

Recently renovated and directly opposite the historic Osteria all’Arco on Calle dell’Arco — one of the most genuine corners of Rialto, 100 metres from the bridge and the market

The kitchen has a gas hob and an espresso machine, and the Rialto market is 100 metres away: fresh fruit, vegetables and fish every morning, for those who want to live the neighbourhood from the first coffee of the day

▸ The double bedroom has a private en-suite bathroom, and the sofa bed takes two more guests — a good fit for couples or small families who want to be at the absolute centre of Venice

On Calle dell’Arco, in San Polo, directly opposite the Osteria all’Arco. If you know Venice, you’ll know it’s one of the most well-regarded historic bacari in the city. 100 metres from the Ponte di Rialto and the market. The vaporetto stop Rialto Mercato is also 100 metres away. It doesn’t get more central than this.

Yes — the apartment is on the second floor, so two flights of stairs. If stairs are a difficulty or you have very heavy luggage, one of our ground-floor apartments such as Appartamento Sandro or Ca de la Cenise would be a better fit. If stairs aren’t an issue, the position is worth it.

No — there’s no washing machine in the apartment. If that’s a priority, Ca Melusina or Ca de la Cenise would suit you better. For shorter stays where a central position matters most, this apartment is hard to beat.

Yes — the kitchen has a gas hob and a proper oven, not just a microwave. You can cook with whatever you pick up at the market in the morning: fresh fish, vegetables, bread. There’s also an espresso machine. A number of our guests go down to the market first thing and cook at home in the evening.

Automatic self check-in via Smart Lock. You receive the code before arrival and can let yourself in whenever you like. There’s no private building entrance — access is through the shared building entrance — but the Smart Lock gives you full autonomy. Luggage storage is available if you arrive early or leave late.

Booking through our official website always gets you the best available price and the most flexible cancellation terms. You'll also receive a discount voucher to use on a future stay at any of our Venice apartments.

What our guests say

"Perfect position. We stayed for a week and the apartment is exactly where you want to be: Ponte di Rialto 100 metres away, market right outside, Osteria all'Arco opposite — great for an aperitivo. The apartment has been recently renovated, everything new and clean. The kitchen works well for cooking. The stairs? Yes, two flights, but worth it for the position."
Henrik & Sofia, architects
Stockholm
"There were four of us. The double bedroom with private bathroom is comfortable, the sofa bed in the living room works well. The kitchen is well equipped — we cooked with market fish every evening. Calle dell'Arco is one of the finest parts of Rialto, full of historic bacari. San Marco 5 minutes away. Self check-in via Smart Lock worked perfectly. We'd do it again."
Anna & Tom, designers
Copenhagen
"A renovated, clean, functional apartment. The position is the real strength: you're in the heart of Rialto, opposite the Osteria all'Arco which is a reliable choice. The market is two steps away — every morning we went down for fresh fruit and bread. Fast WiFi for working. The second-floor stairs are the only drawback, but if you're reasonably fit it's not a problem. Recommended."
