This was our first time staying in a palace and we felt like royalty! This Airbnb literally has the best view in all of Venice — right over the grand canal and you can see the water tower in San Marco very clearly. Even though there is not a full kitchen there was a fully equipped espresso machine, water kettle, and selection of teas to make us feel at home. We recommend getting takeout food for dinner or breakfast and eating on the patio or in the living/dining room to have a peaceful and private meal with a stunning view! The hosts are very friendly and responsive and gave a great introduction to the place. It is their home (they live upstairs and their mother lives next door) but gave us complete privacy after a welcoming introduction. While some Airbnbs can seem sterile and placeless, this one felt like an authentic and magical Venetian experience. Also the location could not be better!
