I visited Venice with my husband and two daughters (9 and 11 years) for four nights over Easter. The flat was brilliant - contemporary, yet very comfortable. In fact, it was so stunning that I would have enjoyed staying there even if it weren't in such a great location in the centre of Venice!
Elisabetta's sister, Olimpia, met us and showed us to the flat - she was very warm and welcoming and communication was very smooth and easy.
Of course, we loved watching the gondolas out of the window, as well as being so close to Piazza San Marco, and our fav Venetian campo, Santa Maria Formosa, which is really near.
It was really useful to have the umbrellas so thoughtfully provided, as well as very good quality shampoo, towels, guide books - everything we needed.
The flat is really spacious, with lovely comfortable beds and a TV in each room!
We very much enjoyed visiting the Ghetto, as well as the Scuola Dalmata delli Santi Giorgio e Triffon and the Arsenale area, which has some cool shops. Also went to a Vivaldi concert at the Scuola Grande di San Teodore, where they were especially kind to the children - it was excellent.
Thank you Elisabetta, Olimpia and family for hosting us - a really special place!
