I looked at a lot of apartments before choosing Aglaias. Many owners do not respond to specific questions. Aglaia did. We needed a twin room and didn’t want it to be much smaller than the double as we were girls sharing and all needed an adult bed, two bathrooms and the benefit of a gorgeous deep bath - rare in Italian appartments.
The area is fantastic - you can reach everything by foot. We could have sat watching the bustle outside the windows all day! But the apartment is quiet at night. Many restaurants around. Exceptional pasticceria a step round the back and the lovely daily market in the square over the bridge. Daily fish market and the kitchen well equipped if you like cooking the local produce found at the markets and great veg barge over 2 bridges.
We loved Dorsoduro and would come and stay here again at the drop of a gondoliers hat.
