Having visited 100+ villas and apartments around the world, tough not to place this atop the list. Our hosts and their place take the prize. Right on the Grand Canal, in such a private enclave. We arrive at the home to be met by their sweet housekeeper, enter into a spectacular historic building. The rooms are HUGE, plenty of space for the whole family to spread out. Multiple living spaces, beautifully and tastefully refurbished. Regal in ever way…I wish we had friends in Venice at the same time to entertain! On arrival, we walked the streets around the home, had them to ourselves. So clean and quaint. So great to be a 7 minute stroll to San Marco Sq, and then retreat to such a luxury part of town to rest. A quaint market is 100 yards away, breakfast croissants 150 yards away…it is like our host planned a fantasy for us. Amenities are strong, great kitchen, huge windows to allow the sounds of lapping water in. I wish we had spent more time here than Rome/Napoli on this trip because the HOME was such a star. Galleries surround the home, and the host provided excellent restaurant recommendations as well. They truly want their guests to enjoy the time. Bravo!
