The Zorzi is an atypical contemporary style apartment located only few steps from Piazza San Marco in a quiet private alley.
It features nice canal views from the tall windows of the master bedroom and the library.
Its position close to the most important shops, restaurants and supermarket makes things easier especially for travellers with busy schedule. It is found at the first floor of a beautiful historic building with an easy to climb stairway, therefore easily accessible also for the less athletic ones. The best way to reach this apartment is by far with private water taxi, that will drop you off next to the entrance, otherwise in about 3 minutes’ walk from the Vaporetto stop San Marco.
Beside the world-famous landmarks such as Saint Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, some of the less known but absolutely spectacular tourist attractions in the vicinity are the nearby Miracoli Church, San Giovanni e Paolo Church (perfect for a coffee on the stunning square), and Campo Santa Maria Formosa with its prestigious historic palaces. The surroundings are an infinite source of inspiration, on every bridge or “fondamenta” the view is truly Venetian.
As you walk in, you will immediately understand that this is a real house, not an impersonal tourist accommodation. A spacious, bright and cosy living room perfectly blends contemporary style furniture with antique wooden beams, Venetian Terrazzo flooring and a decorative antique marble fireplace. The living room is the heart of the house: on one end there is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom plus its studio/library room, on the other end there is a large bedroom with two carved wooden beds that can be also used as king size if you prefer, while right behind the sitting area you can find the spacious and bright kitchen. It features a nice Carrara Marble table for up to 5 people and designer chairs, brand new electrical appliances, large fridge and freezer, 4 gas stoves, etc.
The owner furnished the Zorzi apartment with minimalist designer pieces, wisely blending materials such as metal, marble, wood, Murano glass and nice textiles, while tastefully selecting the colour palette. The result is remarkable: this apartment is both contemporary and welcoming. The amenities of this apartment include Wi-Fi and Air Conditioning.
The living area is connected to the master bedroom though a corridor along which you can find the main bathroom with shower. At the end of the corridor there is a walk-through room used as library or office that leads to the large master bedroom. These two rooms can be both closed with sliding doors, in order to guarantee full privacy in case the sofa-bed of the library is used by the 5th guest. The library has been designed by the owner and is made of steel, perfectly matching the minimalist design concept. The en-suite bathroom of the master bedroom is also very spacious, with bathtub and laundry facilities (washing machine and drying racks).
We suggest the Zorzi apartment to adult couples or families with responsible children, be it for week-end escapes or long-term stays, as it is structured for residential use and conceived to satisfy also the most demanding person.

The apartment is a great find 3 mins walking distance from St. Mark's square, right on one of the canals. Close to everything. Right next to a great take out pasta place. Very responsive hosts. The apartment has everything you need and very clean.

July 2024, Kiril (UK) Fantastic apartment within 5 min walk from San Marco square. Booked through Truly Venice who went above and beyond to make our Venice trip perfect.
The Zorzi apartment was fabulous—really spacious and the number of windows that brought in natural light was fantastic. The windows are not large (undoubtedly constrained by historic preservation concerns) but watching the action in the canal was beautiful and endlessly entertaining. Truly Venice staff were extremely helpful and quick to respond. I really recommend booking with them directly! We stayed for 24 days and totally loved the experience—Venice is really worth taking the time to wander and find its hidden, exquisitely beautiful campos and canal vistas.
We loved our stay at this apartment. Super central, yet still very quiet. It's on a street by the canal, hidden from all the crowds. It's 5 minutes from San Marco Square and 5 minutes to Rialto on the other side. Cannaregio, where really great restaurants are located, is less than 10 minutes away. We were a group of 3 adults and each had our own space. This is listed as a two bedroom, but the primary has a small library that has a bed, which can be converted into another bedroom since there is a sliding door between the primary sleeping area and the library (granted the person staying in the primary bed would need to walk through the library space to get to their room). Would highly recommend this for up to 4 or 5 adults. We will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay at this big 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment with canal views. This apartment is very close to San Marco and yet is very quiet. We did not use the air con but the washing machine was a boon. This apartment would be perfect for 2 couples or a family with with children.
1) excellent location for all we wanted to see in Venice 2) excellent location for water taxi 3) extremely clean 4) very comfortable 5) excellent facilities 6) plenty of hot water 7) good WiFi connection
Comme toujours avec Truly Venice tout est bien organisé. L'appartement était spacieux et bien équipé. Bonne literie et beaucoup de rangement. A conseiller!
September 2017, Nadine (Luxembourg) Zorzi is an attractive and comfortable apartment, wonderfully located near major attractions, numerous restaurants and shops, and important basics, like grocery store and pharmacy. Most important to us was the excellent care of the staff of Truly Venice who met us on arrival and provided a thorough introduction to the apartment and neighborhood. We definitely recommend this place as a great home base for experiencing Venice.
