My family and I thought this ground floor apartment was absolutely superb. Paolo was waiting to greet us at the train station when we arrived and he and his wife arranged a water taxi to take us and our luggage to our 'home' in Venice. He showed us everything we needed to know in the apartment and even took us to the local supermarket so we knew where it was (as being Venice he knew we'd never find it ourselves!) The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully furbished, it was in an ideal location to explore all of Venices central attractions which were all within easy walking distance and was in a very quiet but stunning area right next to a small canal, and we very much enjoyed watching the boats and gondolas go by. The little courtyard garden was a hidden treasure and we enjoyed having breakfast outside each morning. Venice is such a busy, lively city it was so lovely to know that after a long, hot day of seeing its beautiful sights we had this gorgeous property to return to. Paolo couldn't have been more helpful and made us feel very welcome. I hope we return to Venice and this stunning haven very soon.
