Palazzo del Giglio-Residenza Alberghiera Campo S. Maria del Giglio

The Resort and Its Setting

Palazzo del Giglio is an independent, RCI-affiliated property set in a converted palazzo on Campo S. Maria del Giglio, one of Venice's smaller, more residential squares. Google reviewers rate it 4.6/5 from 274 reviews, and the property offers rooms and suites with a bar, coffee shop, room service and reserved parking — a boutique feel rather than a large resort complex. For timeshare owners and exchange guests, this means a Venetian base with real neighbourhood character rather than typical resort amenities.

The Area and Things to Do

Campo S. Maria del Giglio takes its name from the church on the square, Santa Maria del Giglio, a Renaissance landmark just 50 metres from the door. From here it's a short walk to the Grand Canal (300m), St. Mark's Basilica (600m) and the Doge's Palace (700m), with the Accademia Gallery and Rialto Bridge both within a mile. Owners and renters get the rare combination of being minutes from Piazza San Marco while still returning each evening to a quieter, lived-in corner of the city — good for travellers who want the icons by day and some peace by night.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Palazzo del Giglio can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare. There's no agency involved: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and you pay only a one-time listing fee — we never take a commission on the sale or rental itself.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded chain, resale transfers are handled through the property's own owners' association or management rather than a central corporate transfer desk. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers the current annual maintenance fee and ask the resort or management office for the exact transfer fee before agreeing a price — these figures aren't published centrally and vary by contract, so confirm them directly with the resort rather than relying on estimates. The same applies if you're buying: get the transfer fee, the annual fee, and written confirmation of what week and unit type transfers to you before finalising a deal.

The resort's RCI affiliation is a genuine selling point to flag in your listing — exchange members actively search for Venice weeks, and being able to confirm RCI eligibility (ask your RCI portal or the resort to verify this for your specific contract) can make a listing more attractive to the right buyer.

Practical Notes for Renters and Exchange Guests

Renters should budget time to get here: Venice is car-free, so arrival is by vaporetto (water bus) or water taxi from Marco Polo Airport, roughly 13km away. A multi-day vaporetto pass is worth buying on arrival for unlimited water transport around the city. Pack comfortable shoes for the bridges and uneven paving stones, and keep an eye on the acqua alta season — seasonal high-water flooding is a normal part of Venetian life and worth planning around with a compact umbrella and waterproof footwear if travelling in autumn or winter. Peak demand for weeks here, as with most Venice properties, falls in summer and during Carnival in February, so shoulder-season stays tend to offer easier availability.

Listing Your Week

Whether you're an owner weighing up a sale or a renter comparing Venice options, the details that matter most are the same: confirmed week and unit, current annual fee, and — for independent resorts like this one — the resale transfer process through the owners' association. List or search with those facts in hand and the rest of the process on BidMyTimeshare is straightforward: set a price, answer enquiries, and close the deal directly with the other party.
