This is a great flat, by far the largest place we've ever stayed at in Venice, and with a lovely, atmospheric set of double doors that open right out onto a busy side canal. It's adequately heated – not a given in wet, damp, wintry Venice – and the kitchen's well appointed: we cooked every night. It's incredibly convenient to the ferry launches and vaporetto stops on the Fondamente Nove, and while just two minutes away from the busy Strada Nova in Canareggio, it's far enough from the beaten track to feel entirely private. A terrific refuge, and Beatrice's assistant Larisa was a smart and funny guide with great attention to details. We'd stay at this flat again in a heartbeat.
