I can't imagine any more breathtaking view of Venice than sitting out on the balcony of Mariacaterina's apartment in the evening with a glass of wine and looking down the canal towards the lights of Santa Maria della Salute. Thanks in large part to the hospitality of Mariacaterina and her mother, our Northern Italy trip was more than we could ever have hoped for...great food, amazing sights, and an incredibly beautiful and comfortable place to "come home" to every night - close to everything, but just far enough away from the droves of tourists. Looking forward to being able to stay here again someday soon.
