When you (inevitably) take a wander round the Accademia, you'll find yourself immersed in a huge painting by Carpaccio, dating from around 1500, of a lot of colourful activity around the Rialto Bridge. To the right of the bridge are a couple of tall buildings. And that is where you are staying, at the top. That's right, your accommodation features in one of the world's most famous paintings!
Yet despite its age, you are staying somewhere very comfortable and liveable, surrounded by lovely antique furniture and with glimpses across the terracota rooftops. And head up to the roof terrace, and you'll find views that are unsurpassed. Even in December, we found ourselves eating and relaxing up there, feeling very happy indeed that we had the best view in Venice.
This place is unique. And your host Chiara is fantastic - thank you for a wonderful stay!
