Romite is a lovely little apartment in a quiet and peaceful area and it was wonderful to be right on a canal and to be able to hear birds singing morning and evening. It is easy walking distance to busier areas and a choice of places to eat. We had a warm and helpful welcome from Sophie, the local agent who explained how things worked in the flat and gave us information about the local area. Piazza San Marco is an interesting 15-20 minute walk and it is only 10 minutes to the local Accademia vaporetto stop for the line 1 which stops up and down the Grand Canal. The apartment had everything we needed and we would definitely stay again.
