San Marco Terrace was more than we could have hoped for. the tranquility of the terrace was unbelievable - looking down over the squares the only sounds are the occasional church bells, teenage seagulls playing tag - and the odd swoosh of a passing gondola.

In contrast Campo de Marghareta [outside the door] is bustling and provides a choice of restaurants and fresh made pizza if you just feel like grabbing a bottle and a pizza and repairing to the terrace.

The hosts were completely responsive. They met us at the Vaparetto stop and walked us to the apartment [so easy - but lovely to be met] and toasted with a bottle of Cava to welcome us.

We could not praise the owners or the apartment enough. We thoroughly recommend it. Be aware that the tranquility of the roof terrace is gained by being 5 floors up - so we came back fitter than we left as well!

Win win!
