Marzia kindly organised for us to be picked up by car from the train a stop earlier than St Lucia and then escorted us to her apartment.

We enjoyed five nights in 'The Smiling Apartment ' and were still smiling at the end!

The apartment is cosy, quiet and everything we needed was there. The S Basilio ferry about a 15 min walk away and the supermarket close by to there. We took our bags on the final morning over two bridges without a problem and (we are a couple of seniors) got the ferry no 2 to the railway station from Baslio.

Plenty of restaurants to choose from close by.

Loved Venice and would happily go back to Ca' del Sorriso.
