Incredible location, history, beautiful space where the light filters through from the canal side in the early morning. I can't imagine a more fitting historical setting for a stay in Venice.
As beautiful as it is, I should warn about a few things: there was no central heating in the place while we were there - we were OK with electric heaters but the large living room wasn't warm enough to comfortably sit around in at night. We also struggled with mosquitoes quite a bit - to be expected in a city surrounded by water, but if you're very sensitive you may want to consider that.
Marie was an affable, gracious host and I would definitely stay again. A unique, spectacular stay for sure!
