Elisabetta was the perfect host. From the time we made our reservation, we were provided with such helpful information. The directions, with accompanying photos, helped us reach her apartment quite easily. Upon our arrival, she spent time with us, telling us about the neighborhood, giving restaurant recommendations (which were excellent. Trattoria da Remigio was wonderful!) Elisabetta was also very accessible during our stay. Questions about a local supermarket, or how to best get to the Biennale, were all answered quickly and kindly. Also, when booking, it was mentioned that this trip was in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary, a detail which Elisabetta thoughtfully remembered with a lovely Prosecco which we thoroughly enjoyed.
The apartment itself is beyond beautiful. So tastefully decorated, with all the amenities one could ever need. And comfortable as well. And the view! We enjoyed watching Venetian life pass by beneath our window- the boats, the gondoliers, the people crossing the bridge just a little way down the canal. It was all lovely to watch. Although we had two more cities to visit before our vacation would end, it was truly difficult to leave Venice and this wonderful home. Grazie mille Elisabetta- we appreciate everything that you did to provide us with such a wonderful, memorable stay.
