Our stay at Bruna’s apartment on the Lido in Venice was wonderful. The apartment is spacious, bright, comfortable, well-appointed and spotless. We were four adults, but a family with children would find the third bedroom and second bathroom ideal. There is a large comfortable living room and a charming balcony, perfect for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The building is very quiet but just a few minutes walk from markets, delicious restaurants and the Lido vaporetto stop. The Lido is the best of both Venetian worlds, just a short and lovely boat ride from St. Mark’s, the Grand Canal, and the train station (with a pleasant if somewhat longer ride to Murano, Burano and the airport) and yet a vibrant local community away from the heaviest tourist crush. But the best part of the apartment experience is Bruna herself. Her warm and gracious welcome made us feel at home at once. She promptly and completely answered all of our questions about the apartment, the Lido and Venice. She makes us want to return soon and share this lovely experience with family and friends.
