This is THE place to stay in Venice! I have been here six times and this is by far the best place I have stayed.

Birdsong from the gardens (giardini bienalle) and church bells from the campo at the end of the tny street greets you in the morning.

It is tucked away in a tiny residential area 10 mins walk from San Marco square. This is the taste of real Venice. The local markets and restaurants are 5 minutes walk, the only garden space in venice is 2 mins away. It is so easy to get here via vaporretto (Biennale Giardini ) and no steps to cross on bridges so luggage is not a problem. It is the perfect place to base yourself in Venice.

It is so easy to live and eat here economically.

Anna is a wonderful hostess. She generously offers to inform you of the best placs to eat and how to access what you need. She grew up in venice so it is the city of her heart and she knows all the secrets of Venice.

Anna has an amazing knowledge of the history of this wonderul city so whether you are here for a day or a week she will help you find what it is you desire from Venice.

The apartment itself is delightful . It is scrupously clean, thoughtfully decorated and has all that you need for your stay.

The local neighbours are very welcoming and were kind and helpful despite my lack of italian..

I highly reccommend this as the place to stay in venice.
