We were pleasantly surprised to find this jewel in the heart of Venice with so much space! Watching the gondolas from our apartment while munching warm croissants, dropped off every morning by our host, made us feel welcome and wonderfully satisfied. Our host’s friend, Marco, met us close to the apartment and we could not fault him or Sebastiano on anything. The apartment gives you a ‘fully immersive’ feel but can lock out the noise of the city too if you want a quiet meal around the large dining table. The stairs were not that bad although we do suggest all visitors don’t bring big heavy suitcases to Venice, anyway. Thank you again Sebastiano and Marco for a great stay-you completely understand hospitality and what it takes to make your visitors part of vibrant, romantic Venice!
