We highly recommend this elegant apartment for a family vacation. My husband and I spent a few days in Venice with our two teenage children and this was an excellent home base for sightseeing. The location is fantastic and the view from the balcony is picture perfect - the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge! We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning and appreciated the comfort of the motorized awning that sheltered us from the hot July sun. Also, we welcomed the excellent air conditioning at the end of a long day. Gaia and Claudio were attentive in coordinating the check in and check out and kindly provided snacks and refreshments to welcome us. A great place from which to explore Venice!
