We could not have been happier with our stay at Ca Allegra. Sandra met our vaporetto and walked us through adorable Venice streets to the 3rd floor walk up apartment. It was spacious, cool and had everything we needed for our stay. Sandra even arranged for a huge basket of fresh fruit, bread and jam, cereal and yogurt, milk and coffee. The apartment is in a terrific location, walking distance to Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square but far enough from the crowds. The apartment is air conditioned but the shady location means it cools down enough at night so the windows can be thrown open for a breeze. I don't know where we would have been with out the detailed map Sandra gave us and the advice she shared on places to go and things to do. We had a lovely time and can't wait to return.
