Believe the hype: An absolutely gorgeous apartment on the Grand Canal in Cannareggio, minutes from the Guglie Alilaguna stop to get to and from VCE and from the ACTV at S. Marcuola to get around the city, but totally secluded and quiet. Spotlessly clean, very well appointed, and hosted by the brilliant Vale, who was on top of everything. Super responsive and communicative. Five minute stroll from a huge new supermarket, built inside a beautiful former theater, that has everything you’ll need for provisions. Great theater too watching the Grand Canal traffic from your multi-windowed dining/sitting room windows, whether with your morning coffee, a glass of wine before dinner, or a grappa before turning in. Excellent value for money; we are fairly frequent visitors to Venice and we’ve definitely found our go-to flat for future trips. Very highly recommended.
