We had a wonderful stay in the AltanaAlbaChiara apartment.We had four in our party and the 2 bedroom apartment provided us a very clean and homey atmosphere centrally located in the Rialto area. We stayed three nights and were allowed to leave late on our last day. Chiara made our stay absolutely the best.She met us at the boat stop and escorted our party to the apartment. The whole time she made us feel as if we were part of her family. She provided great communiation, prior, during and after our stay. Chiara sat down with us with a map and recommended places to visit, areas to walk through, and restaraunts for dining. If she should provide you these recommendations, do not hesitate to follow through with her suggestions. Her hospitality and the ambiancw of the apartment made our stay in Venice memorable. We highly recommend staying at her place any time of year. Maybe next time, we'll enjoy the sun and fun of the Spring instead of vacationing during the winter. Thanks Chiara for all thet you provided. We truly appreciated it!
