From the moment we met Paolo and Barbara at the station, we knew we were in safe hands, Paolo helped us purchase a 3 day pass for ferry, we are from Australia with very little Italian language so it was a huge advantage having Paolo translate, he and Barbara have terrific English language skills I might add.
Paolo had a water taxi waiting to whisk us to the apartment and show us around, so convenient to get luggage taken without any hassle and arrive in minutes to the apartment. What a spectacular apartment it is, in a beautifully quiet residential end of town, we really did feel like a local, taking our morning coffees and pastry in the town square each morning with the locals and accessing the very handy supermarket for all supplies, all within a few minutes walk across the canal to the shops. Many good little eateries surround this area and all within a few minutes walk of the apartment.
The apartment itself is of such quality and style that you will never want to leave. I have a design background and admit, I am the fussiest of guests however I could not fault one single aspect of this apartment. All high end fittings and quality furnishings, such tasteful decor and an amazingly practical and efficient layout.
My husband, teenage daughter and I had a truly wonderful Venice experience, what a beautiful city it is but I firmly believe our stay was made all the better being at Paolo and Barbara’s wonderful apartment. Thank you to you both and we hope to return for a longer stay with you as our host in the near future.
In closing, you never get tired of seeing those gondolas float by your living room and bedroom windows, but make sure you take the time to ride on one, it’s so very magical, and so very “Venice” 🛶🇮🇹❣️
