Matteo's apartment was beautiful! An old family home, it was very homely, and made us feel comfortable in Venice. Away from the main touristy areas, it was a relaxing environment to go back to. Being away from the centre, it allowed us to experience Venice through a more local lens, and avoid the stress and rush of tourists, but the main attractions were still easily accessible.
We were hosted by Rita, who provided us with a very warm welcome, and a list of recommendations to experience Venice, allowing us to maximise our short stay there, and enjoy Venice despite the many tourists.
The house was decorated beautifully. One of the books wrote about walks around Venice, which we used, bringing us to unseen areas of Venice.
The kitchen was extremely well-equipped, with a variety of beautiful and functional cutlery and cookware, which made cooking enjoyable. Even had a bottle of wine with the crystal glasses.
Extremely beautiful balcony overlooking the canal, highly recommend!
