Corte Regina was the perfect place to spend a truly magical week in Venice. The apartment was beautiful, chic, comfortable, equipped with everything we needed, and exactly as described, and we were given a warm welcome by Rita upon arrival, which set the tone for what would become a wonderful - and memorable - holiday. The apartment is perfectly located for easy access to restaurants, bars, shops, landmarks, and great Venetian atmosphere, just a short walk from the Rialto Bridge and all the action, but pleasantly situated in a pretty little street so you can get away from the hustle and bustle. We were there at the end of August which was wonderfully hot and sunny, so we were very glad of the excellent air-con in the apartment! Being just a 4-minute walk from the San Stae boat stop on the Grand Canal meant we could easily access every part of the city and the outlying islands. In fact, on a beautiful day trip to Torcello - at the top of the campanile of the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta looking out across the lagoon - we got engaged! So this wonderful city - and Corte Regina - will live forever in our hearts as the most special of places. Stop looking now, seriously: you've just found the best place to stay in Venice!
