I am fortunate to travel the world for pleasure and work & this palace apartment on the Grand Canal is the most beautiful place i have ever experienced. Stunning does not do it justice, it is magical and honestly has an emotional impact on you, as you sip wine or coffee on the patio watching the world of Venice boat in front of you. It is also in a quiet spot and close to the main tourist walk area and very close to the water taxi, which we used often. The grocery store is a 3 min walk away and several great coffee shops are close, along with endless shopping (my girls took full advantage of that fact). Venice in the morning and late afternoon/early evening when the ships are not around, is perhaps the most beautiful and romantic city in the world- walk, get lost, drink, eat, explore and bring a camera.
Thank you Anna for arranging the private taxi to/from the airport- what a unique experience to dock up to the front door! Thank you for the dining recommendations and other tips. Anna is a fantastic host. We will be back-WITHOUT KIDS-
