The location of the apartment could not have been better being just a few paces from the Basilica and piazza of San Marco. Out of each window of the flat, you look upon a perfect, unique picture of this crazily beautiful city of Venice with its alley ways, uneven rooftops, sounds, smells and rich terracotta colouring. Amadeo and Donatella, right from the start, made us very welcome. They were easily accessible by phone and in person when we had questions or needed advice. Venice can be hard work. There was a train strike; then a vaporetta strike meaning we had to walk and walk and we got lost a million times.It is also a very expensive city.. and the mosquitoes are very hungry!! But the flat met our needs perfectly... thank you Amadeo and Donatella!.......Anne and Carole from UK.
