Nicolo and his sister made us most welcome with their personal attention as we arrived at their nearby hotel.
The apartment was just as described large and airy although the large bed had the traditional European split mattress which diminishes romantic endeavours.
However the view of the canal from the balcony windows, with the constant passage of gondolas with the singing gondoliers more than made up for that.
For elderly guests the 2 storey stairs are an obstacle.
