This place is truly as fantastic as it looks! It deserves 10 stars for location. It is not too far from the train and bus stations, yet it’s near a lively square with good restaurants. Best of all, a gondola is parked right outside most of the time! This home is just gorgeous, a truly authentic Venetian palace, centuries old—a functional, comfortable, antique home. Our bedroom had great air conditioning and a huge bathroom with modern plumbing—modern comfort to go along with those gorgeous terrazzo floors and windows of Venetian glass. Our gondolier, Tobia, said he hesitates to pick up new customers here, because he can’t take them anywhere nicer in Venice. Best of all, Nick (the British owner) and Anna (his assistant) truly want you to have a great stay in Venice. They were helpful and generous in every way. If I return to Venice, I won’t think about staying anywhere else. I want to stay here again!
