Grimaldi Apartments - Hermitage

We knew that the hotels in Venice were much more expensive than our budget, so we always intended on staying in an apartment of some sort. The photos are a little deceiving, especially the first one, as there are many properties throughout the city and not all of them are equally well appointed. Ours was the Casanova apartment, and it was lovely. Certainly dated and it reminded my husband and I of our grandmother's homes, but it was quiet, clean, and in a residential area in Cannaregio which has an excellent food district away from the tourist attractions. In addition to it's prime location, it was easy to get to because the staff provided us with clear instructions on how to get there. Ensure you have an EU SIM card, as you will likely need to call them when you get on the specified aquaboat so that someone can meet you at your stop and escort you to your temporary home. It was lovely.

Wonderful property and a fantastic staff.

Great location and a really nice clean apartment with all the amenities you need !

The location was great. The apartment was clean overall but there were roaches in the apartment. When we turned on the light in the kitchen several of them scattered and also in the small bedroom. We kept all food items in the fridge or microwave oven. Also did not like the fact that we were responsible for taking our trash to the trash site a few blocks away-

Very clean accommodation and very well located. When we had a question and called the office we had a response right away. David, who met us and showed us the apartment was very friendly and helpful giving us recommendations for restaurants and markets nearby. My only real complaint was that the bed was not comfortable at all.

The location is great, close to the main road but far enough back to be very quiet. Views and windows on three sides. Very close to a main grocery, coffee shop and many restaurants. Go northwest to the next main street for restaurants. However, I had to constantly reset the hot water heater ( 5 times). Every time I wanted hot water it was off. Also, when I first got to the Apt. there were 'water' droplets on the toilet seat. Glassware was a mishmash. Also there is a large glass food container on the microwave with salt in it, not sugar. If you don't arrive at the time you said you'd be there, you may have to wait several hours to get anyone. You've got you're exercise for the day scheduled if you have large heavy bags. You'll cross about five bridges from the first water taxi drop off ( Madonna del Orto), stay on until the Realto Bridge stop, three bridges. Return to the Airport from there too. It's the first stop in the morning so you'll get on for sure. Would I stay there again, maybe, but only because of the location and the views

Good room for two for a short trip. Couldn't get wifi to work properly and freeezer compartment didn't work very well in fridge. No kettle. Brilliant access to Venice town center though and supurbly quiete at night. No TV though.

We couldn’t have asked for more, a fabulous location and lovely apartment. Really clean and everything we needed, thank you so much.
