The Grand Canal Apartment was fabulous! It was so nice that we did not want to leave it to explore Venice. The apartment is simply beautiful! Every window has a spectacular view of the Grand Canal. Everything that you need is very close, yet the apartment is secluded and private. Vale is an excellent hostess! You could not ask for better. We highly recommend this wonderful apartment. If we are ever able to return to Venice, this is where we want to stay!!!
