When one can stay at Redentore 870, there is no need for the Aman, Gritti Palace, Danieli or Cipriani hotels. The amenities and details Katia, Alessio, and Isadora (their dog) provide at this apartment fall into the 5-plus stars category. Their apartment is clean, bright, modern, comfortable, in pristine working order (strong AC, washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc.), artistic, and beyond well equipped (lose a button..? there’s a sewing kit). They welcomed us upon arrival, ensured we got to the apartment (helping with luggage), and we had fresh flowers as well as chilled prosecco waiting. In addition, it is arguably in the best spot for visiting Venice. Giudecca and Redentore are ideal as you are 2 Vaperetto stops to San Marco square (10 min or less), and you have the beautiful fondamenta for strolling and dining with amazing views. (It is also great for escaping the day-time chaos in the tourist areas.) Katia and Alessio took care of us beyond belief: We are traveling with our dog, who was overdue for a grooming appointment so they arranged that. I needed a haircut, sorted. A recommendation on somewhere to eat – how about several from casual to formal (don’t miss Trattoria Ai Cacciatori). Out of the way places most tourists will never see… they will point the way. And, when reservations are not possible because it is high season, they still got us booked for a gondola tour. Katia, Alessio, Isadora, and their place turn a stay in Venice into a magical experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will return. (PS: This was a work from anywhere trip too so the WiFi is strong and there are bright, comfortable working areas.)
