We had such an amazing time in this beautiful apartment on the quiet and lovely Isola San Pietro.
The location is just great. A peaceful escape from the sometimes-crazy turismo of this beautiful city. We arrived on the vaporetto from the station (we'd travelled via Paris and Munich from London) but spent the rest of our six days on foot, exploring all the way to the other side of the Dorsaduro. It's an easy five minutes to the bars, shops and restaurants of Via Garibaldi and to the main Biennale locations at Arsenale and the Giardini. Piazza San Marco is a 15-20 minute stroll and the rest of Venice from there takes as long as you want it to, given the nature of the place!
The apartment is beautifully decorated, with everything we needed. The beds are extremely comfortable and we very much needed the convenient 8am wake-up alarm from the nearby church of San Pietro in Castello! There's a great local grocery shop just over the canal and further shops (including fishmonger, bakery and a fruit and vegetable barge) at the beginning of Via Garibaldi just over the bridge. We just loved our week here and would highly recommend this beautiful space.
