Fabulous location on the grand canal, with views of the Rialto bridge and easy access to shops and restaurants on the doorstep. With 2 dogs the shaded private garden at the front was a real bonus as it was mighty hot during our stay, and it would otherwise have been difficult to let them out much during the day. The platform onto the grand canal at the front was also an amazing bonus - watching Venice go about its business from the water level was incredible. Gondoliers floated past the main bedroom regularly, & the Palazzo was quiet despite being between 2 busy thoroughfares. Highlights include a Row Venice lesson which was a lot of fun, and eating at Ai Tre Archi nearby (casa Benito also looked good)
