The property is located in a quieter location but just a few minutes work to the hustle and bustle of the Grand Canal, restaurants, shops and cafes. As others have said the property is huge with very large rooms and very high ceilings, being able to retain some of the original flooring and painted ceilings can transport back in time to the days when this was a Venetian palace. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped (apart from some large mugs for tea). The whole property has a marble effect floor which can be a bit slippy especially in the bathrooms and the actual showers which are powerful and maintain a good temperature are excellent although a rubber shower mat would be useful. The property was very clean and plenty of towels were supplied, the only small issue we had was with the air-con system as the property was very hot and despite our best efforts we could not reduce the temperature in the bedrooms which ment the mosquitoes were active at night and we did suffer from bites.
THE VIEWS FROM THE LIVING ROOM BALCONY ARE JUST WONDERFUL, being located on one of the major routes in and out of Venice you can watch an array of boats coming in and out of the main canal and when the ambulance boat goes past everything gets out of its way (you can also see the Grand Canal from the balcony).
Fabio our host arranged transport to and from the property which went seamlessly and we received a very warm welcome and tour of the property.
If we return to Venice we would seriously consider staying here again.
