With gracious hosts, a splendid location, super amenities, and the magic of Venice, our family of three had all the right ingredients for a wonderful stay.
Paolo and Elena made every effort to help us get oriented correctly, giving detailed information from the airport and train, and meeting us to escort us in person into the neighborhood and the apartment. They couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful, sharing their favorite local restaurants and staying in touch throughout our stay with help and advice.
The apartment was blissfully cool during our July stay, with great air conditioning and WiFi, not to mention a washer and dryer, and a dishwasher to boot. We ate in (my daughter made risotto) and enjoyed the cozy table and outdoor terrace.
The location is so personal and typical of a real Venetian neighborhood! What this means is you can expect to get a little lost, you won’t see hordes of tourists, and the pace of life is a luxurious embrace of time and space. Go with it, you won’t regret it! Easily accessible on both sides of Venice at the Ospedale or Arsenale stops, it’s easy to pull a ticket and plan an escape to Burano or Lido or simply up the Grand Canel.
We were an 8 minute walk to Piazzo San Marco’s beauty, 5 minutes to a grocery store, and surrounded by a veritable feast of places to eat.
Highly recommended for location, extremely helpful hosts, well equipped apartment, and the charm of an authentic Venetian neighborhood.
