Needing somewhere comfortable and quiet to stay whilst we visited the Biennale we were so fortunate to find this gem of a place. Fulvia's apartment envelops you in a blanket of comfort and calm. It is traditionally Venetian and very well equipped. Fulvia is a wonderful host with plenty of ideas of places to eat and visit if this is your first or twenty-first visit to Venice. She also left us tasty treats which enabled us to eat something when we arrived. The kitchen revealed plenty of basic storecupboard items too! The apartment is set on a canal in an area full of places to eat (one of the best ones being on the ground floor of the building) and interesting 'strolls', especially one to see the sunset at the end of the canal. It is also near the 'ghetto' area of Venice with it's quiet backwaters and wonderful local places to eat and drink. The vaporetto stops are very close by and St Lucia station is a very easy walk (away from the crowds) via the new bridge. A wonderful place to stay and relax away from the very busy areas of Venice. So nice to come home to!
