Truly the most magical place. Let's start with the view: extraordinary to be able to see not just the Accademia bridge, but also a broad sweep of the Grand Canal. Then the apartment: warm, welcoming, large, full of peace. It is so rare to visit a city, and to find a haven of calm. We found ourselves returning to the apartment during the day, wanting to spend time there. The walls are super thick, our friends in the other room felt like they had total privacy. It's an absolute must that you'll want to tell everyone about, but also will want to keep to yourself as if it's your own secret.
