San Giacomo, Venice Overview
San Giacomo is located in Venice, Italy. Rated 6.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
San Giacomo is a Venice, Italy stay set on Santa Croce 1449 (Ruga Vecchia), a practical base for exploring the city on foot while keeping daily routines simple. The property is smoke-free and includes free WiFi, which helps when you’re planning bridges, vaporetto routes, and museum timings. Wheelchair accessibility is listed, so travelers who need step-free access can check suitability with the property directly for the exact layout.
The apartment-style setup includes a kitchen, making it easier to manage breakfasts, snacks, or longer stays without relying on every meal outside. Daily housekeeping is also noted, which can be a relief after a full day of sightseeing. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM until anytime, and check-out is at 10:00 AM, so build your schedule around that rhythm.
On location, you’re within walking reach of major Venice highlights, including Rialto Bridge (about 1.4 km) and St. Mark’s Square (about 2.0 km), with the Grand Canal viewpoints nearby (around 1.2 km). For art and culture, Gallerie dell’Accademia is roughly 2.4 km away, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is about 2.6 km.
Review coverage is limited, and the guest rating is 6/10 based on 1 review, so expectations should be calibrated accordingly. Families are explicitly welcome, but note that parking is limited, which matters if you’re arriving by car. Overall, San Giacomo is best for solo explorers or small groups who want a walkable Venice base with WiFi and a kitchen, and who are comfortable verifying details that can’t be confirmed from the listing alone.
