My wife, 11 year old son and I stayed at Regina d'Oriente in early July 2013 and was very happy with our accommodations. We enjoyed excellent location and very good facilities. We were met at San Stae vaporetto stop by Rosanna's sister Laura and guided to the apartment. Laura gave us excellent instructions for use of the apartment and also provided us directions for the nearest supermarket, drug store and several wonderful restaurants. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. It was very hot in Venice at the time so the air conditioning was welcome. We also enjoyed getting to hang our laundry to dry outside the kitchen window just like a Venetian. Would recommend this apartment to any couple or small family.
