The best choice for a trip to Venice......

If 6 stars were available for this apartment then this would be the mark.
From booking to greeting, to the actual apt the experience was 1st class.
Once booked Ivana was very helpful with instructions, reminders and suggestions for our trip, even organising a birthday cake for my wife left discreetly in the fridge.
The apt was all and more than described with delightful west facing views of the main island where you can watch the sun set and fall asleep or wake to the sound of water with the windows open ( but not if a lie in required as a busy stretch of water with water taxis, buses and cruise liners passing by, but interesting to watch all the same. It was very comfortably fitted and furnished and a perfect place to stay with everything that you could need- Venice can be a little busy at some times of the year, so being able to pop across the water to this beautiful building and relax away from the crowds was superb- then when batteries were re-charged it could have not be more straightforward nor simple to hop on a boat to get back to the main area for supper in one of Venice's super restaurants- or choose to eat in one of the local restaurants ( either in the Hilton of as we did, a very local place that has been open since 1902 and recommended by Ivana, that served without doubt the best spaghetti starter that we have ever tasted ! - full of locals, a terrace on the water and perfect Venetian food.

Getting here was easy- we booked a "shared " water taxi from the airport ( 7 mins walk from terminal to dock (cabs available) which takes you across the lagoon, through the main canals and out to the Hilton- a delightful first view of Venice by boat- our return shared journey was just us , so a private tour to end the holiday- perhaps worth making one of your legs 'private;, as whilst more expensive cheaper than an overpriced gondola and just as good a way to see Venice, and I am sure you could ask him to take the scenic route along the grand canal ! Once at the Hilton we were met by someone who showed us to the apt and showed us how everything worked

Once at the apt it is a 5 min walk to the public water bus stop, which we recommend you use to go up the Grand canal and get about, and if you have time, visit Murano & Burano Islands and even The Lido- when the sun is out these journeys across the water make the holiday and are a great contrast to the winding streets of Venice itself

We cannot recommend the rental of this apartment enough- a suite in the Hilton next door would be less impressive and 4 times as expensive.
