We travelled Italy for a couple of weeks and stayed in hotels. Venice was our final stop and we really enjoy staying at Orsola's apartment and having so much more space than a hotel room. Our favourite "room" was the balcony...wow....what an amazing view and watching all the action right under our balcony, it was mesmerizing. We opened up both balcony doors, set the bistro table between them and enjoyed our meals and drinks in the beautiful sunshine and even in the evening under the moonlight. Our favourite day trip was a 3hr walking food tour that started just across from the apartment on the other side of the canal....wow....what a great way to get immersed in the culture (Venice Food Tour: Rialto Market, Cannaregio, Gondola, Food & Wine).
