Pietro and Caterina’s place was unforgettable. Overlooking the Grand Canal felt luxurious and it was exciting to wake up and see that view. The antique paintings and furniture made the space feel like a museum and you could tell that the building had an impressive history. The bed and linens were especially comfortable. Caterina was a great host, always responded to messages and arranged the water taxi service (a splurge, but totally recommend for a seamless arrival). The listing mentions a private hot tub which I was expecting, but the bathroom had been recently renovated to include a nice shower instead (there is a bit of construction in the building but it didn’t bother us). If you will be eating in the apartment, you’ll need to wash dishes in the bathroom sink as there is no kitchen. This wasn’t a big issue as we mainly ate out and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby (try Vino Vero for aperetivo a short walk away). Highly recommend for a few days stay in Venice!
