San Teodoro Palace in Venice boasts an unbeatable location. A quick 5-minute water taxi ride from the station to Rialto station, followed by a short, flat 3-minute walk, gets you to the property without needing to cross the Rialto Bridge. The apartment had a cooling system, although it lacked a fan, but we truly appreciated the cool rooms during Venice’s scorching heat and humidity. Just a 5-minute walk away is Susso, the best gelato in all of Venice. While there’s no laundry facility in the building, and we didn’t spot a laundromat nearby, the proximity to major attractions, the two-bedroom layout, and the Venetian-style apartment with a cooling system were the highlights of our stay.
