This property is absolutely incredible. Newly renovated, immaculately clean and furnished to a VERY high standard with huge comfy beds. The shower is something special but I won’t spoil the fun of finding out for yourself… just wait until you experience it.
The apartment is SO new you can still smell the fresh paint and wallpaper. All windows are double glazed and fitted with wooden shutters on the outside which allows you to block out the morning sun if you like to sleep in (as we do) and the location is perfect. It overlooks a small piazza and is directly above a newly opened café/bar, but there were no issues with noise at night. We stayed during one of the busiest weekends of the year and found the area to be quiet after dark. Everything Venice has to offer is within walking distance but if you don’t like to walk, grab yourself a 1, 2 or 3-day travel pass and jump on the Vaporetto, it’s literally on your doorstep.
Silvia (the property owner) was in touch immediately after booking with advice on how to find the apartment and explained the which vaporetto stop to get off. Desirée (the person who met us at the apartment) was punctual, very friendly and able to offer great advice on places to eat, drink and see and always on hand if we had any questions.
There is a large supermarket near-by with amazing fresh produce. (I highly recommend their fresh bread with gorgonzola and €0.79 bottles of Bierra Moretti!)
One thing that was not 100% clear: When I booked the apartment, it was listed as an “Entire Flat” (which is one of the reasons I booked it) but when Desirée showed us around the apartment she told us which room was ours. I said I thought we had the whole property and she explained that the owner had originally intended to let the rooms out individually. I’m fairly certain that if you book the property you will have exclusivity and not have to share with others but it might be worth checking if you have any doubts.
I would certainly stay here again in the future, in fact we loved it (and Venice) so much we were already looking at prices to come back in September!
Thank you so much Silvia and Desirée.
