From the moment you step into a quiet courtyard away from the crowds you are in for a real treat! A beautiful stairway lined with red carpet leads you to the front door of the apartment at the top floor. The apartment is tastefully decorated, including a beautiful venetian glass chandellier brightening up the spacious living room. But the most amazing attribute of this apartment is the view of the grand canal and the Rialto bridge. It really does not get any better than this! The balcony is a perfect place to relax with a glass or two of champagne and watch the grand canal action. The kitchen is fully stocked with all amenities, including a Nespresso machine and several sleeves of coffee pods to choose from! Overall, we had a wonderful stay here and will absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Venice.
