Delightful small flat, elegant and light-filled. It has views on three sides - across the Grand Canal towards Salute and Peggy Guggenheim, directly across towards Redentore, and to the Dolomites too. You are steps away from the Accademia Bridge, ten minutes from San Marco. Could not be better.

Giovanni was an exemplary host, and arrangements for entry were flawless, aided by Fatima, the gentle and helpful caretaker who lives in the Palazzo.
