We had a WONDERFUL time at Francesca's apartment. We booked this for the promise of the rooftop terrace, but the whole apartment really exceeded expectations- lots of nice details (high ceilings, exposed beams, shuttered windows) and plenty of room. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, and basic cooking oils and seasonings. The location was just right for us- easy to get to the heavy tourist areas but off the beaten track enough to feel like you can take it easy. Great dining and bars just over one foot bridge. Seek out the kosher bakery for some unique and delicious treats! Being on the main campo in the Ghetto, you still also feel like you're getting to enjoy the energy of the city and people watch: the apartment has views onto the campo (children playing, people dining, sightseers passing), a second view of a canal with a nunnery's garden beyond it, and a third view to a more lively canal lined with cafes and bars (not too noisy though). And of course the terrace- the reason we booked and well worth it. Gorgeous mornings relaxing in the sun, stunning evenings enjoying drinks with the sun setting and the bells tolling across the rooftops of Venice. The view is essentially 360 and well worth it- so to find such a lovely family sized apartment attached to that terrace was just icing on the cake! We LOVED it!
Communication with Francesca was always prompt and easy and our greeter, Martina, was fantastic welcoming us to Venice and ensuring we were settled in with all the best tips for the area. A great team!
