This apartment was a gem. Close to the grand canal and vaporetto, and yet it still had a stillness - and cool interior! - that were much appreciated in the buzz of a hot summer. The apartment was stylish, the bedroom spacious and the bed, thankfully, very large and comfortable. The real surprise was the view into a stunning neighbouring garden. It didn't feel like we were smack in the middle of the city and yet we were just a short walk away from a morning coffee or afternoon aperol spritz in lovely St Barnaba square. I'd happily go back again to Venice, on the condition I could stay here...
