A truly unique and memorable stay!
If you are planning a stay in Venice you would be hard pushed to find anything more perfect than Admiral Emo! From ease of booking with Elena to the wonderful care Simone took of us both before and during our stay, this was a fantastic experience.
The first thing that strikes you when you enter the apartment is the wonderful atmosphere of history and heritage. Beautifully laid out in a truly classic style, you feel like you have entered a true part of Venetian history.
Having shown us around, Simone opened the lovely windows and shutters and you are immediately overwhelmed with the most amazing views over the Grand Canal. From the windows you can literally sit and watch all of Venice pass you by whilst enjoying the surroundings of some of the most stunning architecture.
By day you see all manner of boats passing by loaded with everything from fresh fruit and veg to paintings and furniture! In the evening the Canal transforms into a colourful and spectacular display of water taxis, gondolas and locals making their way through Venice. It is truly mesmerising!
If you can pull yourself away from the views, Admiral Emo is perfectly situated, with all manner of shops, delis, restaurants and tiny alleyways to explore, all literally on your doorstep. Lots of the restaurants in the area are very popular with locals and not too touristy and you can wander around anywhere during day or night without feeling intimidated or unsafe.
Make sure and visit the intriguing, huge Spar Store 5 minutes away which is a converted old movie theatre and has absolutely everything you could want from a food store with lots of fresh, local produce on display - it is an experience in itself!
All in all a fantastic stay in what must be one of the most beautiful apartments in Venice.
Thanks so much Elena and Simone and we cannot wait to be back at Admiral Emo.
