Donatella is a fabulous host, she met us at the vaporetta and showed us to the apartment. It is a beautiful place, spotlessly clean and with a very new feel about it. It’s in a quiet side street but with a bakery and Spar nearby and lots of other shops and restaurants in the main street to explore. Castello is far more lay back than the busier tourist areas which suited us fine as nothing is very far by water bus (we bought a weekly ticket costing 60€ each). We definitely hope to visit again.
