We had a great stay in Venice mostly due to Olivier's wonderful apartment. The location is very central - only a 10 minute walk to St. Mark's - but in a calm square which seems miles away from the tour groups. The Castello area is great for dining and Olivier's restaurant tips were spot on. We went with a baby so had several meals in the flat. The kitchen is very well equipped which made us feel at home (albeit with a more cinematic view). The pasta, tomato sauce and delicious Prosecco left by Olivier were a lovely touch. The modern minimalist decor is even nicer than in the pictures and the flat is very spacious and extremely clean. The travel cot provided for the baby was very sturdy, looked brand new and was also very clean. Communication with Olivier was great leading up to our arrival and Alessandro's reception was warm and welcoming. I would recommend this place for anyone wanting a calm and relaxing visit to Venice.
