Really wonderful stay. It was an incredible view indeed. It was also nice to be able to go to the hotel nearby (affiliated with the apartment) and ask questions and arrange tours / rides. We felt like we were at home the whole time, but with views of Venice out of every window (and the roof terrace!). It's like an oasis above the hustle and bustle of the Rialto area -- you don't feel like you are in the thick of it at Bella Vista!
