We could not have been more cozy and comfortable in Nicola's charming apartment. The place was designed and decorated by artists (Nicola, his brother and father) so every detail is of the highest quality. It's located two minutes from St. Mark's but you'll find it in a quiet private courtyard.

Nicola himself was exceedingly warm and helpful--his recommendations about restaurants were especially great. (We celebrated a big birthday at Bistrot de Venise, which was fabulous.) Check out Nicola's gallery just around the corner to see wonderful paintings and sculptures by his father.

We couldn't recommend this apartment more highly.
