I don't think this apartment could be bettered - from the first "Wow" of the view - from five different windows - to the last serenade by the gondolieri below us each evening - it was just fabulous. St Marks from one window, the Salute from another, across the Grand Canal to Giudecca and the Lido from another and into the sunset to the mainland on the other side. Everything was as described, the flat is very modern inside and very light and airy, but in a very old building and furnished with antiques. Don't be put off by the stairs - they are in a series of half landings, so very easy going. And don't miss the sliding screen doors !

It is very well situated and a short walk to the Accademia bridge and to three vaporetti stops including the Orancia Alilaguna at Sant Angelo . There is a small supermarket and lovely deli just off Campo San Stefano on Calle Botteghe. Giovanni was very helpful to deal with and responded promptly to all enquiries. Thoroughly recommended.
