We recently spent a wonderful few days at Valentina's apartment. We wanted a place close to Campo Santa Margherita, and could not have hoped for at better location! It's very, very close to the campo, yet placed in a quiet, tranquil spot right by the canal. This made it very easy to access from the water taxi that literally took us all the way to the gate. Also, it was the perfect starting point for strolls to Zattere, Frari, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and other lovely places.
We were three adults, including one senior, and three young children. As it was quite hot these days, we all appreciated coming back to a cool apartment for mid-day siestas, and the terrace facing the water was where we started and ended each day: with breakfasts al fresco and moonlit night caps. It is a real luxury to have such a spacious terrace in the middle of Venice.
We slept two adults in one bedroom with a cot made up for the toddler, one adult and one child in the other bedroom and one child on the sofabed. For us this worked perfectly fine. Since there are shutters on all the windows, even the living area with the sofabed is nice and dark at night, so we all slept like babies.
The kitchen is very clean and well appointed with charming plates and coffee cups for that ultimate, chic feeling when you have your morning coffee on the terrace. And the TV with the rocking chairs were a real treat for the school boys after long days sightseeing with the grown-ups.
All communication with Valentina was super smooth. We would easily choose this apartment again for our next trip to Venice, and have already recommended it to friends. Simply wonderful!
