This newly renovated and immaculate apartment is absolutely gorgeous. Fabiola is an artist with an excellent eye. The elegant apartment is a wonderful blend of classic style and modern, with a Venetian sensibility. Even the view from the windows seems hand picked. Two beautiful, classic Italian bathrooms make it a comfortable place for three or four people to stay. The location is great, down a quiet street off a nice piazza (Campo Santa Maria Formosa), in the neighborhood of Castello, which is beautiful and less touristed (if such a thing is possible) than much of the rest of Venice. The apartment is small, but you don't go to Venice to stay inside. However, it is so beautiful that you may be tempted to anyway!

We shopped locally and at the Rialto Market, and cooked a few great meals. (Extra virgin olive oil is ridiculously low priced in Italy!) We were greeted and oriented by Michele and then Riccardo, who were extremely nice and helpful, and both spoke english that was, alas, much better than my italian.

I highly recommend this apartment. Incidentally, it has very good wifi service.
