We arrived very late in the middle of a downpour with no vaporettos running anymore and had to find the place on foot lugging our suitcases. Francesca's directions were spot on, just follow the signs to Rialto from the train station and you will NOT get lost. All the effort of wading through the puddles in the rain was well worth it when Francesca showed us our home for the next three days. What a pleasure to explore the non touristy parts of Venice, all the tiny winding allies that lead to and from the apartment. Everything you could ever want from a home is right there for you, including top quality cookware and great wine from the Pasti's own vineyard. I plan to visit Venice again and a big reason would be to stay in these apartments. Truly a memorable experience.
