Isabella & Andrea's place is truly magical. It is right along the water front of the Canale della Giudecca with and amazing view of ferries, cruise ships and the entire world passing by. Gawking out of the windows is an amazing experience! Every room opens to the south and fills the entire apartment with fresh air and light. The place has been remodeled with a beautiful kitchen, modern shower, all the amenities, yet because it is Venezia, the old world charm of the original building, the staircase to the apartment, terrazzo floors, wooden shuttered windows and high ceilings. They have everything decorated beautifully with both old and new furniture, art and tasteful touches - The entire apartment is charming.
Everything imaginable is supplied and provided. The kitchen perfectly stocked with everything that you need. They even had a very nice welcome basket on the table full of wonderful treats. The modern bathroom is perfect with a spectacular hot shower and plenty of fluffy towels. The bed is very comfortable with lavish linens and bedding. The entire apartment is sparkling clean. Honestly, I cannot come up with a single negative!
Because Isabella and Andrea do not live on the island, a late check in is extremely inconvenient for them. Yet, they were graciously accommodating for us with our late check-in. They arranged a private water taxi from the airport directly to their apartment. It is a bit pricey, but if you want a truly magical and memorable entrance into Venezia, take a water taxi from the airport through the Grand Canale, side canals and arrive directly at the front door. I'm telling you - you step off the boat and feel like a movie star (that has never made a movie). It is more than worth the cost!
Both Isabella and Andrea, responded immediately when we had questions and directed us to a place that would print a few business documents for us. They are both fun, charming and flawless hosts. We have had our own rentals before and believe me when I say - Isabella and Andrea have it down. Perfect professionals. Stop your search and hit confirm!
