The apartment was in an incredibly peaceful location on the island of Giudecca. The view from the kitchen window over a Venetian canal and towards the lagoon was a joy to have during our stay there. Neil was very helpful and quick to respond to my various queries and Caterina his agent in Venice was very friendly and was waiting to meet us as promised on the day of our arrival. We very much appreciated the apartment's close proximity to the main sights whilst also being far enough away in a more residential area, to allow us a breather from the rather chaotic centre.
