Francesca and Maurizio are wonderful hosts, the apartment is spacious, wonderfully private and a few minutes walk to the vaporetta stop and Saint Mark's Square. The private courtyard is timeless and beautiful. The apartment is beautifully appointed, with a spacious shower and extremely comfortable bed. A narrow canal runs under the windows and one is often serenaded by passing gondoliers. We can't wait to go back..what more can I say than that.
