Paolo and Riccardo provided the perfect home for our family of five! The house is beautiful and exactly what you would imagine when staying in the heart of Venice on a canal. It has tall ceilings with ornate designs and dazzling chandeliers. We just needed a high class masquerade ball to attend to round out the experience. On a practical note the house was fully stocked with all of the various necessities and toiletries required and is a very short walk to any of the main tourist attractions. We decided to walk from the Garage San Marco and Riccardo met us at the house, but he would have met us at the water taxi dock as well. We had light luggage and our iPhone navigation app made it super easy to find the apartment with a 30-minute walk. We also had a delicious meal at an outdoor pizza restaurant about three minutes from the home. We’re on a road trip through several countries and this was the highlight so for, largely due to the this accommodation and great hospitality.
