This place was:
Very roomy. This house is over two levels. The bedroom in the upper 'attic' and the dining area and kitchen on the main floor. Compared to all the other places we compared this to, it is extremely roomy.
Very scenic. The views from the windows are spectacular. The advantage of being so high up is we could see over all the rooftops in Venice in each direction, even to the mainland. Church steeples popping out of the scenery. The windows also look directly over the Grand Canel.
Very close. We were able to walk to the Rialto bridge, through Academia, San Marco square and everywhere in between. It's close to one of the few bridges over the Grand Canel which made navigation easy using the water ferries.
Very quite. We stayed during Carnivale and yet we slept with the windows open and there was no yelling or loud noises.
Geovanni kept checking in on our stay and Fatima arranged for a friend to meet up in a nearby square.
Some points to remember when booking:
- There is no laundry
- There is a hand shower in the bath, so we just had baths
- There is a lift to level 4, but you'll need to walk up a further 3 levels of stairs.
- This place is very historic, so the fixtures, furniture and style is also historic. So don't expect all modern facilities, but this is what we loved about this place.
Overall we absolutely love this place. We're hoping to bring the family back here in the future. The views, location and historic feel made this a great Venice holiday.
