Our party of six stayed in Venice for two nights in August to post-celebrate my mother's birthday. Sig.ra Scarpa's apartment was exactly as advertised and was truly a highlight of our trip. The air-conditioned apartment was a huge relief from the summer heat, and the mornings and evenings on the terrace made us feel like we were at home in the middle of S. Angelo. Our daughter was enthralled by the gondolas drifting past immediately outside the windows. The apartment was everything we hoped for and more. We will certainly try to return here one day.
