Alberto's photos do not do justice to how lovely this flat is. The rooms are all big, beautifully-proportioned and high-ceilinged. The floor is of polished, cut, coloured stones, all the way through. I loved the way that all the rooms have great views, all of a green-watered canal or one of Campo St Stefano just around the corner (a beautiful big space perfect for the morning caffeine). One room is double-aspect and gives onto the canal and the tiny street down to the square. The kitchen is chic and well-equipped, I loved the ornate antique table. The 2 bathrooms are 4-star hotel standard (minus the toiletries naturally) and there's a rainforest shower in one; very nice. Both bathrooms have windows and lots of light. That was the thing that stood out for me about this flat; the essential layout is full of light and just very pleasing to be in. The decor is minimalist, uncluttered with a hint of Venetian antiques. As for the location, you are only 10 mins from St Marks Square but it is not a touristy, overrun sort of spot. We usually like to stay in Dorsoduro or Cannargeio a bit away from the centre but were very happy with this central place. Alberto was super helpful and attentive. Our children (9 and 13) loved the way the locks whirred. We hope to stay at the flat again.
