I surprised my girlfriend with a Birthday trip to Venice. I spent days looking for the right place and then I found Viorica and Chris’ place! We arrived at high tied, which in Venice, means that some streets become flooded. Chris met us at almost Midnight to show us the way to the apartment, he even helped us carry our bags through the deep water. Amazing hospitality! And a lot of fun!
In the weeks leading up to our stay, they spent time recommending local food, bars, sites and tips on the local area. The best thing about this place is that it is in the PERFECT place. A 10-15 minute walk to anywhere. We even got lost wandering in the Jewish Quarter and found ourselves crossing a beautiful bridge and a few moments later, appearing right near the apartment.
For anybody who is considering booking this place, I would do it without a question. It’s very very clean, very comfy bed, very modern and the terrace is perfect for an afternoon Bellini (buy a big bottle from one of the nearby supermarkets) after a busy day shopping and eating! It’s perfect.
Top tips:
1. Eat dinner at Al Chianti for the best Carbonara and family ran business. It sits on a beautiful back-street. (10 minute walk).
2. Have a Negroni at the bar downstairs next to the passageway to the apartment. Great atmosphere and the Negroni is perfect. (2 Seconds away!)
3. See St Marks square at night with a live mini orchestra (12 minute walk!)
4. Eat a pizza from the takeaway 30 seconds from the apartment. It is fantastic.
Hope to be back very VERY soon!!
Adam.
