Caterina was a great hostess - contacted me immediately after booking, sent good instructions to find the apartment, then contacted us as soon as we had arrived in Venice.

She dealt with the paperwork v promptly, gave us a good recommendation for a late lunch - then left us to our own devices, which suits us perfectly.

We loved having our own front door, made us feel very smug! The apartment was great - spacious, elegant, comfortable, well-equipped. The bed was big and comfortable, and the welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk with orange juice, croissants and jam for breakfast was thoughtful. And the wifi worked well.

The apartment is very well situated - approx 10mn to St Mark's Square one way, the Rialto Bridge the other. A little bar on the corner, a nice coffee shop on the square, a good bread shop a little further away and a decent supermarket within easy reach. Could not be bettered.

We loved Venice (first visit) and, when we return, I would certainly stay here again, it would be very difficult to improve any aspect of it.
