Once-in-a-lifetime Venice location with panoramic views of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge! This incredibly stylish and designer remodeled penthouse apartment exceeded all of our expectations. Our jaws were on the floor the moment we stepped out on to the very large terrace with a Birdseye view of everything ! This A+ location is in the heart of Venice with waterfront dining, Gondola rides and luxurious shopping just a few steps from the front door. Inside the apartment the decor is outstanding! The modern kitchen design features sleek finishes, beautiful appliances and an open floor plan that connects to the family room and dining room facing the view terrace. There is a private home theater with a comfy sofa and chaise lounge with flat screen tv and two private enclosed reading rooms on the Terrance as well. The beautiful lighting throughout sets the vibes in the evening and really takes the apartment up several notches. There are beautiful vaulted, open-beamed ceilings the give the space great volume. The kids room has two double beds and was tucked in near the master bedroom. The master bedroom was spacious and the master bath has a beautiful free-standing tub a large dressing mirror and washing machine which was very convenient. The second bath had a beautiful rain shower that we all enjoyed. The air conditioning units kept the house very cool, especially in the 96 degree heat in Venice. Be ready to climb stairs, this the penthouse unit at the very top of a 4 floor building, with 8 flights of stairs and 72 steps. I got a pretty good workout bringing up our 5 suitcases, but I can assure you, its worth the climb. This is an iconic view apartment—when walking through the Venice airport, you will see photographs of the main landmarks and characteristic buildings of Venice and yes, this home is in those pictures! You should definitely make this your next stop in Venice, not even the 2-3K per night hotels have views and convenience like this. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Lastly, the host was very prompt in responding to our request and they left a nice welcome snack and drink for us on arrival which was delightful.
