This was our 4th attempt since March 2020 to get to Venice to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. It was well worth the wait. The view from the windows was just wonderful, we hardly could tear ourselves away from the constant drama of the Grand Canal. The apartment is beautifully furnished with antique pieces, there's a cosy corner with books and paintings, so it feels like a home not a holiday rental. Elena was an excellent host, speedily answering all our questions.
We found a great restaurant just around the corner, Al Cantinon, with tables set out along a little canal, with atmospheric fairy lights and candles. It was so good we went twice. We shopped in the local Despar housed in the most amazing building, a former theatre. It's a short walk to the train station or to the vaporetto stop.
Everything was perfect, we will definitely be back.
