We had a wonderful stay in this new apartment. We wanted to stay in a quieter part of Venice as we were visiting during peak season. It is located in a beautiful area which gives you a genuine taste of Venetian life and offers a retreat from the summer crowds. The apartment offers a beautiful view of the lagoon which is lovely to wake up to each morning. The lift was very useful for getting our heavy bags up to the second floor (and is a rarity in Venice)! The apartment is spotless and all of the cooking equipment/utensils and bedding/towels looked brand new. The comfortable bed, sofa and dinning facilities made us feel at home. We were given such a lovely welcome and advised about some great local places to eat. There is also a lovely little bakery and gelato shop only a couple of minutes away. There is a supermarket nearby too and the apartment is close by to Vaperetto stops so travelling around is easy. The air conditioning was a blessing during our hot August stay. There is a good wi-fi connection too. We felt very safe during our stay in the 'Good Wine' apartment complex. This is the second time we have stayed with Giacomo and I highly recommend these hosts. Fantastic communication beforehand and available by email/phone if needed during our stay. Although we didn't need to contact them it offers peace of mind to know that they are easily contactable.
