Alberta's place is a classic Venetian hideaway – right in the heart of the city between the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square, yet tucked away behind behind a boutique-lined pedestrian thoroughfare.
We loved waking up to views over the canal and coffee under the frescoed ceiling, and appreciated all the modern comforts too – big sparkling bathroom, reliable aircon/heat, well-equipped kitchen and fast wifi. Stone stairs are a given in Venice and there are two flights to the apartment, so mind your step when it's rainy out.
Alberta and her team were gracious and helpful, and made us feel at home throughout our short stay. Grazie mille!
