SIMPLY STUNNING. The photos in the Air B and B listing do not share how spacious and beautiful this apartment really is. Before arriving, travel suggestions were texted to me which I greatly appreciated as we had to make a couple train switches before arriving from Milan. In Venice, it is a 25 minute walk to the estate where Alberto personally meets you and you are transported back in time through the massive foyer and grand staircases. The owners have converted this palace into a dozen apartments with modern conveniences such as a fully equipped kitchen with an induction stove, a washer machine, comfortable beds, Wi-Fi and large screen tvs. It also has tasteful old world style such as Tromp L’oie ceilings and faux fresco walls, nods to Murano glass, and antique mirrors and a fireplace. What made this so wonderful were Alberto’s excellent suggestions on which waterbus to take, where it is located on a map of Venice along with excellent restaurants. My sister and I were able to see boats and gondolas outside the kitchen window. This listing is worth every penny!
I would recommend downloading the ACTV app to pre purchase tickets for the waterbus. It is how most are able to travel so quickly through Venice.
Gracie Mille!
