Off the beaten track in a domestic and peaceful area on Venice. The large apartment is absolutely beautifully decorated and has amazing historical charm. We were a large group of eleven who booked this palazzo and also a palazzo for six about an 8 minute walk from Odile's place. I ended up staying in the other Palazzo, so the review of the booking and initial impression is mine while the review of the stay is that of my friends.
The booking process was very personal where I spoke directly with Odile on the phone and we talked about our stay etc. The keys are sent via mail to your home outside of Italy and you send them back once you are back home. This is an unusual process but it's well managed, I had the keys well in advance so no stress. On arrival, all was well with the keys and the apartment was very clean and tidy. Since this is a private home, not all cupboards etc are yours to use but everything was very neat and there was ample room. A good thing to note is that having more people over for dinner, even if it is in no way a party, is not allowed. When we wished to have group dinners, we did so in our other palazzo where this was allowed and where the kitchen was also equipped to be able to serve all eleven of us. This way, it all worked out beautifully for us. All practicalities worked well for our group, even though having limited amount of keys and lots of different activities made it difficult for the group to coordinate how to get in and out. Obviously this would work better for a family who stick together. There are five beds all in all, but one is more of a couch than a bed and when speaking with Odile she did say that the apartment does work better for four persons. Our fifth person was fine with the extra bed/couch but admitted she had had more comfortable beds to sleep in. No surprise or disappointment on our part since this was mentioned by Odile, but perhaps good information for other guests.
