This huge and beautiful Palazzo apartment is likely the best holiday home that I’ve ever had, 5 star hotels included, and I’m a real frequent traveler ( before Covid that is).
Everything about it is just fantastic, we a family ( 6 persons) spent a 2 week holiday in Venice , it was a possibility for me and my adult children and their spouses to reunite after COVID since we all live in three different countries and 2 continents. The palazzo is from 1380, and the ceiling height is 6 meters ( although we didn’t actually measure it…) all the floors are extremely beautiful and feel just great to your feet when you walk barefoot. The palazzo is situated in a canal crossing so it has canals on 2 sides and a big but narrow ( likely built in 1380) balcony where you can have breakfast or an evening drink while watching gondolas and delivery boats passing by below. Since we stayed so long we had the benefit of just spending half a day or so just relaxing and reading in the apartment. You really didn’t want to leave….Air condition works extremely well, there are 3 huge bedrooms and the kitchen is better equipped than most permanent homes… as an example there are 10 different frying pans to choose from.
The localisation is the best possible 7-8 min walk to the Rialto bridge and Piazza San Marco but still a bit secluded in a residential area. Plus there is a Coop, well equipped grocery store less than a minute away. Which is an unusual luxury.
In addition you can quite easily do a morning run from the palazzo. We had a 7km run that made us pass 32 bridges. Great.
But not least the host Patrizia is extremely helpful and respond very quick to all kind of questions. When I went back to the airport she even asked her son to take me by boat to the vaporetto stop for the airport. Very helpful since You have to pass bridges and carry your luggage.
Is there anything that is a problem, well the WiFi was a bit on and off, although The host has 3 different WiFis for the building that you can choose from, but I actually anticipated that since the palazzo is so old has heavy stone walls and is huge. Several in our family had work meetings and full workdays with digital meetings and that worked out well when we used the WiFi from our smartphones for our laptops.
I definitely plan to return for another long stay in a couple of years.
