Firstly, I have to thank Orsola for giving us the opportunity to experience this truly amazing apartment in the very heart of Venice. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE and we felt extremely privileged to have this as our home while in Venice. We loved staying here so much so that we dined in one evening by candle light while listening to classical music from the huge CD collection; it was magical. Orsola being the most perfect host, as true to the other reviews, also arranged for our meal to be cooked by Rudy, the house keeper/chief; delicious..... actually our best meal in Venice.
In summary, a beautifully designed apartment, mesmerising views from every picture window and terrace, topped with the sounds of church bells and seagulls, hours lost in the library of cultural books and music, and the opportunity to play the piano; unforgettable.
Top tip: take a private water taxi directly from the airport. Orsola will arrange it and it is the only way to arrive in Venice on the Grand Canal. Its just a 7 min walk to the apartment from the pontoon.
