Paolo and his wife Renata are fantastic hosts. They showed us around the apartment, and even collected us from the airport which was so very nice. The apartment is in a superb area, located right on a peaceful canal, and we loved the quiet patio space. The property has been beautifully, newly renovated in a modern style. Soft furnishings, linens etc. are all light colours so while it feels very comfortable, we were afraid and careful of spills or stains that could easily mark such a pristine decor. The apartment is more impressive than the photos reveal.
