My family of 4 (me, wife, two teenagers) truly enjoyed our stay at Francesca's Venice apartment. It was new, beautiful, quiet, and very convenient. Quiet is nice, because many parts of Venice can be noisy at night. Her mother greeted us (at midnight!), and had thoughtfully purchased milk and orange juice for us, as well as buying Lavazza coffee and teaching us how to make it.

The apartment is attached to a very old, historic house and has been newly renovated It shares a garden with the main house, and, unbelievably for Venice, there is a clay tennis court which they rent out.. The whole complex takes up almost a small city block. Sitting outside with some hors d'oeuvres, drinking a glass of wine while watching tennis was fun and surreal. It is a walk of just over 10 minutes to the train station. The kitchen was completely modern with the best appliances, including silverware, pots and pans, etc., all of the highest quality. There is a dining living room with a sleeper couch. Then, there is a bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom, again all modern and new. Upstairs is a loft style area with a queen bed and bathroom, which also has a washing machine. Beds were firm and very comfortable. I would recommend this place and I would stay here again.
