5 stars is simply not enough to rate Giuseppe's apartment! It was the best holiday rental we have ever had, by far. And we have been to a lot of places.
Host: Giuseppe is thoughtful, kind and speaks great English. Communication was fast and fantastic and Giuseppe went out of his way to welcome us. He even collected us at the boat jetty to walk us to the apartment. He made us feel so welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. He gave us info about where to eat, and warned us about the boat strikes that were taking place the next day. We would be lost without his guidance.
Location: For a trip to discover Venice - look no further! The apartment is located a few mins stroll from the main boat jetty's, on the small island of Murano, only a few mins on the water bus to the main land of Venice (10 mins max). The island is a magical, peaceful escape from the crowds of Venice. There is a wonderful restaurant is just outside the apartment where we had dinner a few times. 2 x groceries stores are a short walk away along the beautiful canals of Murano. Lots of other restaurant options are a short stroll away. Also very easy to reach Murano from airport or train station - much easier to navigate than the main land of Venice with luggage. Highly recommend staying here rather than on the main land.
The apartment: Is the most comfortable, clean and beautiful apartment we have ever stayed in. Recently renovated to a very high standard, with high end appliances, a fully kitted kitchen and extremely comfortable beds and pillows. They have spared no expense in fitting the apartment with the highest quality furnishings and finishings. It has everything you can possibly need including a powerful aircon, central heating, fancy washing machine and all the kitchen appliances you can ever need and more. There is a very comfortable, big master bedroom with large wardrobes, lots of natural light, shutters and extra fluffy pillows. Then then there is a smaller second room with very comfortable bunkbeds (I shared this room with another adult and although it was small, we were extremely comfortable in this room for the 3 nights we stayed). There is also a lovely lounge with a comfy sleeper coach and cute dining room table overlooking the quiet streets of Murano below.
Bonuses: Giuseppe also kindly provided us with several basic supplies like milk, delicious coffee, water, biscuits, hot chocolate, pasta and more. How kind and thoughtful! Thank you so much Giuseppe. You made my parents anniversary stay so very magical and special.
We will never forgot your kind hospitality, flexibility and for providing us with the perfect comfortable, relaxing place to explore this magnificent part of the world.
I cannot recommend this apartment enough. We cannot wait to return and are so happy to have discovered this absolute gem of a place to stay.
