My husband and I found Piero's property to be a very special place. His loft is beautiful, with open beam cealings and hardwood floors. It is airy and fresh, sitting on one of the canals with a balcony, the perfect retreat after a day of experiencing the more touristy area of St. Mark's square. The balcony was perfect for morning coffee and a glass of wine in the evening and a super-comfortable bed made for a good nights sleep. Piero provided a very welcoming environment, communication was great, and though he wasn't there to greet us, Caroline was and she is a very lovely lady who took the time to give us the ins and outs of the property.
