This was a fabulous place to stay in Venice!! First off, we loved the location. It was close enough to the main tourist attractions in St. Mark’s Square (about a 15-20 min walk), but far enough away to avoid the throngs of tourists. It faces a square called Campo San Polo that is quiet, but also has 2 restaurants right on the square (1 excellent) and many shops and a grocery close by. The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous with very high ceilings and windows, cute little terraces overlooking the canal, beautiful antiques, and every amenity you could want. You enter in a medieval feeling entry and stairs and then come to a beautifully updated home that still retains its original charm. It was immaculately clean with AC that worked well for a restful night’s sleep after spending the day in the sun and humidity. We arrived and left via their water taxi gate, which was pretty cool too! The hosts, Nika and Stefano, are the absolute best. They were very responsive to all of our needs and just general questions. Stefano came over within hours to fix a creaky bed (it only needed a little oil) and he is the sweetest man! They even welcomed us with a bottle of Prosecco. I can’t say enough good things about how sweet and responsive they both were before and during our trip. If you want the true feel of what it might have been like to live long ago in Venice, this apartment will give you that.
