Paolo is a wonderful host. The apartment is lovely and so traditionally Venetian. Location wise, you couldn’t wish for a better location, excellent restaurants by the waterside, to lovely traditional shops on your door step. if you arrive on the Saturday, for lovers of great food, Rialto market is a must. St Marks is stunning, but don’t be drawn into buying a drink in the square, the cost is eye watering..!!! Go off the main square and there are plenty of little bars selling drinks for a fraction of the price. We had a great stay and would most definitely stay with Paola again. Andy & Emma
