A stylish apartment, in a very well placed location, with a perfectly framed view.
Apartment - clearly newly refurbished to a high standard. The living area has a framed view of the canal intersection at water level and is just stunning, such a lovely spot to just relax after a day of walking, but still feeling like you are experiencing the city watching the gondolas go by. The up lighting is genius, highlighting the impressive exposed beamed ceiling. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The shower water pressure was great in both shower rooms. Both the outside and inner front door worked with a key code meaning other members of our party could enter and leave as they pleased. Didn't really use the kitchen, but the Toaster, Kettle and Coffee machine aided sorting breakfast before sight seeing and found the wine glasses for the end of the day!
Location - Venice is a wonderful maze of alleys and water ways with multiple routes to get to the same location. This apartment is an easy walk from the Rialto Bridge on the grand canal (3 mins), St. Marks Square (5 mins), with restaurants, coffee shops and Supermarkets all within a minutes reach.
Views on Venice - they were very helpful and responsive during our stay. Greeting us on arrival, taking us through the manual and apartment, and helping us book a water taxi to take us back to the airport on our last day.
Venice - breath taking.
Cant really go wrong on restaurants - but if there is anywhere you really want to experience, book in advance!
Massively recommend booking St Marks Basilica & the Bell Tower - great views over the Square & city. There are massive queues each day and its so easy to book in advance online and then walk straight past the queues.
Gondolas are not taxi's - they have routes that circle back to their start point, so start in the area you want to experience.
Water taxi to and from the airport are c. E130 each way but well worth it if you can afford and such fun
