Claudia and Frederico were simply the best hosts a person could hope for. We booked our trip many months in advance and, even then, they promptly and graciously answered all of our questions. Their hospitality didn’t end there. When we arrived in Venice a bit early, Frederico met us at the restaurant where we’d stopped to get a bite and helped us carry our luggage to the flat. Upon arriving, there were dozens of thoughtful touches (everything from a welcome gift to chilled Aperol and Prosecco along with a recipe for the proper Italian spritz—it turns out Americans don’t use enough Aperol).
Frederico, then, gave us a thorough tour of the place and even helped us plot out our itinerary for the next few days. The visitors manual for the apartment became our bible with its detailed list of restaurant recommendations and popular Venetian landmarks.
Claudia and Frederico’s love of Venice is tangible and contagious—and it made our trip so much better than we could have imagined.
The photos of the apartment are beautiful and they were a huge factor in our decision to book it. But, these pictures *still* don’t do the space any justice. It is sparkling clean and the perfect blend of classical, modern, and cozy. We felt immediately at home and were quick to settle in to the incredibly functional space.
All in all, our experience was nothing short of perfect (and I do not use that term freely). I hesitated to write such a thorough review because I, selfishly, want ensure that they don’t become impossible to book. But, when a property is this amazing and the hosts get hosting so right, it’s only right to share the wealth.
