We felt very lucky to have found this apartment - we had arranged a short holiday that overlapped with the Venice Film Festival and many other places were demanding a 12 night minimum stay for the beginning of September! No such problem here.

Elisa was at the apartment when we arrived, and made us very welcome, happily showing us around, how to work the air con etc. She also gave us some recommendations for local eating places, which we used and liked enormously. The welcome biscuits and buns for the children, and the bottle of prosecco for the adults was a nice touch too.

The apartment was a few km from the port at Santa Maria Elisabetta, but that was no problem as the buses were every 10 minutes, and the travel pass we bought for the ferries around Venice also covered the buses. It was nice to stay a little bit away from the busy parts, a nice quiet back neighbourhood where we got to know the local shop keepers and they began to recognise us.

I liked having a little bit of outdoor space where we could sit and eat our breakfast in the sun, and the girls could do cartwheels in the garden!

I would definitely recommend a stay here, especially for families.
