We had a fantastic trip to Venice and spent 2 nights in Cristina’s apartment. The location on the canal front was idyllic and we loved hearing the boats go by and the church bells from inside.
We found some lovely restaurants within a 15 minute walk in the Dorsoduro area.
I highly recommend trying The Impronta Cafe, the food was out of this world and not overly expensive. Another must is to stop at the Al Bottegon where you can sit on the wall overlooking the water, watch artists paint and enjoy an Aperol Spritz and some cicchetti (the Venetian version of tapas) we found a few of these small bars down side streets which do cicchetti and wine etc and we loved them. Seek them out on google maps rather than eating and drinking in the main squares.
I will be recommending Cristina’s place to any friends and family that want to go to Venice, Cristina is very helpful and very good in communicating.
