We had a great stay in this very special apartment. Pietro is a great and attentive host, he even picked us up at the train station in his little boat, and sailed us down Canal Grande to San Stae close to the apartment – a fantastic opening to our week in Venezia.
The apartment is quite large. The living room, with its high ceiling, antique furniture, art and chandelier really makes you feel that you are in a palazzo. The room has vast windows overlooking the canal, and a balcony where we loved to relax in the evenings with a glass of wine. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. There is air condition in all rooms which we found to work perfectly, a large kitchen with all you may need, including a dishwasher, and a washer in the bathroom which we put to good use travelling with our ten months old son.
The apartment is perfectly located, away from the most busy tourist areas but still close to major attractions. It's a very convenient location if you travel by train like we do – only two stops to the train station with the Vaporetto. The area is very nice and quiet, with lots of restaurants close by. On Campo San Giacomo dall'Orio, short walk from the apartment, you'll also find a supermarket, a wine shop, and excellent gelato.
We highly recommend this home, and would love to stay again.
