All the positive reviews I've read about Pierantonio's place are true. Prior to our arrival, Christine reached out to me via whatsup and e-mail, providing me with detailed instructions on where to meet her. She was waiting for us at the St Stae stop when we arrived by private water taxi. During our short walk to the property, she pointed to the direction of the nearest grocery store, showed us where to buy the best Gelato, and pointed out the good restaurants to eat. She took her time showing us the property, answering our questions, provided directions to the train station, and even gave us a map. Thank you Christine for the warm welcome!
We were provided with two sets of keys. I liked it that the doors were easy to lock and unlock. Entrance hall of the building was very welcoming, and pretty. I appreciated the old world feel to it, and the light marble stairs leading to the apartment. The apartment was stocked with bread, pastries, jam, coffee, tea and all the kitchen items one will need to cook. Fridge had butter, sparkling water, milk and champagne at our disposal. Laundry soap was also available.
The place exceeded my expectation! I did not expect it to be so spacious. Our bedroom was big for European standards. View if the Canal was AWESOME to see everyday. What a blessing to return to our quiet, very comfortable, cool, clean, bright, spacious apartment after a tiring day of touring. It was hot outside and having AC was a huge plus.
Pierantonio kindly allowed me to have an extra guest as my oldest son was able to join us late in my trip planning. He provided an extra bed which was perfect for my younger 13 year old son. All 6 of us were very comfortable in the space. We had to coordinate the use of the one bathroom, but is was not as challenging as I expected it would be. We all loved the very modern spacious bathroom where there is a separate shower and tub. The set up of the bathroom is nicely done. We Enjoyed the charming kitchen in the mornings. It had the old world charm, and all the convenience of a modern kitchen. Everything in the apartment worked! The towels provided were good quality, and most important for me is our beds were comfortable. We were able to use the washer (located inside bathroom) and so happy that laundry soap was also provided. Thank you Pierantonio for a marvelous 5 star experience!
