The Palazzo Albrizzi is a gorgeous and tranquil gem in bustling Venice. The beautifully appointed apartment with its antique treasures, immense library and all the amenities one could want is the only place one should stay in Venice. Every window offers incredible views across the rooftops of Venice, each worth its own postcard. The apartment's best feature are the two marble terraces (one with a 360 degree view across Venice) on which one can have a leisurely meal or sit and read a book while watching the sunset in the distance. The location itself its absolute prime – situated on its own quiet Piazza apart from all the hustle and bustle but only a 10 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and all its exquisite shopping and restaurants. Orsola is the most lovely hostess who went above and beyond to make our stay the most enjoyable vacation ever. She reserved a water taxi from the airport, met us at the apartment to show us everything (and present us with a nice welcome gift of Prosecco and fruit), gave great dining suggestions (the trattoria at the foot of the bridge is wonderful) and made many other gracious arrangements for which we will always be grateful to her!!! We love this place so much that we are already making plans to return to the Palazzo Albrizzi in a few years time.
