This is a magical place, the view from the balcony is simply breathtaking and I spent many an hour just watching the bustling activity on the Grand Canal at all hours. It was lovely and cool too thanks to great air conditioning making it a perfect retreat in the height of a very hot summer. Very central location makes it easy to go out and shop, explore and make the most of the wonderful local restaurants. Thanks to Orsola we had dinner on a wonderful restaurant on the first evening that we would never have found without her pointing it out. We will never forget our stay and hope to return as soon as we can.
