The pictures of this palace are VERY nice, but nothing compares to actually walking through this amazing representation of Venetian architecture. EVERY room in this 'grand salon' apartment is a stunner! WOW! We arrived by taxi boat from the airport and were greeted at the boat ramp by Uda, the manager of the space. He got us situated and gave us myriad local tips, he even walked us around the neighborhood to make sure we knew where the grocery store, the "non-tourist trap" restaurants are, and gave us general directions. Who does that? VERY helpful! And to be perfectly clear, we took the water 'public bus' one evening from the mouth of the harbor where the Grande Canal starts all the way back to the palace, and Miss Anna's place is the ONLY private residence on the Grande Canal with a private terrace on 'water level' facing the Canal. WHAT AN AMENITY!!! I sunbathed every day on the stone railing (don't try it if you don't have excellent balance and are afraid of people in boats staring at you! lol) All in all, I will stay here on my next trip to Venice, ab-so-lute-ly! Ciao Bella!!!
