Between the language barrier, local culture, the crowds and the warm weather, Venice can be a handful. Having a great place to “come home to” makes the whole adventure that much better. Palazzo Venere certainly does a great job of being your home away from home.
The bottle of Persecco greeting us was a wonderful and a welcome touch after a long trip in to Venice. The communication between us was very good and much appreciated. The accommodations were excellent. The attention to detail was also excellent. The apartment was as described, and looked like it did in the images of the listing. The air conditioning worked impeccably, the “smart TV” and wifi were great tool for the kids. The kitchen appliances all worked as they should and what we needed was there waiting for us. The beds, pillows, comforters, blankets and the rest of the bedding was all very clean and comfortable. We had minimal contact with the staff, but the interaction we did have was very polite and pleasant. Finally the best part of the whole experience was that we were able to come home and retire to a quiet part of town that did not feel over run with tourists. Just outside the building there was a great local bar that was open as early or as late as you wanted it to be. In the morning they had coffee, in the the afternoon and evenings they had drinks. We were also close to a supermarket where we were able to get all the things we needed for our at home meals. Near by are a nice bakery, and some local restaurants which had good food.
All in all, it was a great experience that left us happy we made the decision to book Palazzo Venere for our stay in Venice. We hope everyone else who does the same has a similar experience. Thank you to Marco and his staff, it’s a shame we did not get to meet you.
