A "once in a lifetime" experience, being the sole occupants of this huge incredibly elegantly furnished "piano nobile" of a palazzo in a prime central position on the Grand Canal. Elisabetta made us feel most welcome inviting us to use the whole of her wonderful apartment and also the garden. She gave us a lovely welcome drink and homemade snack on arrival and was extremely helpful to us throughout our stay. The historic apartment well exceeded expectations and whilst we had a wonderful outlook on the Grand Canal we also had a very quiet bedroom and the use of the beautiful peaceful Italianate garden. A marvellous experience!
