We've spent one beautiful winter week in this apartment.

First of all we'd like to say that it is very warm and it's priceless considering the humid Venice weather.

The apartment is clean, modern and cosy. The windows are big.

The bed linen and the matress are of high quality.

The kitchen is well equipped - we've prepared there New Year eve dinner without any difficulty and found everything we needed.
Another good point - in the closet we've found the wheeled bag - extremely useful thing for shopping in Venice! (the Coop supermarket is very close but still it's much more comfortable to go there with this bag).

The flat is full with old antique things in combination with some very new pieces (we've especially liked beautiful Kartell lamps). We appreciate this approach to the interior decoration. But the chairs in the kitchen are too antique:) and need to be restored - the fabric and the padding of the seatings is really old and not pleasant to seat on.

We should thank Silvia for a small but very nice collection of books about Venice.

As for the Giudecca as a location - it's quite specific. From there you have the most beautiful view of Venice but it's really another world - no tourists, quite local life, not many bars and restaurants are open in the winter time. Don't miss the place called Al Storico da Crea - it's close to the Redentore waterbus stop. Incredible views (it's better to go there in the daytime to enjoy the sun, clouds, sea), very good kitchen and nice and friendly people. As for the shopping - on the embankment facing the Venice you'll find few bars, a couple of butcheries, fresh fish in the morning and some bakeries. Going to Venice is quite easy - one stop to Zattere either by Hilton free shuttle bus or by ordinary one leaving from Palanca stop.
