This is an amazing place to stay! Murano in the daytime is pretty much heaving with tourists looking at eye-wateringly expensive glass, but at night it's so quiet and so atmospheric. We tended to be on the mainland during the day and come back to the peace in the evenings. Incidentally the Vaporetto is really expensive (about 9 Euros for a single trip) but buying tickets for longer periods gets progressively cheaper and the boats are so regular that you never have to wait for long. Unlike on the mainland, Murano has some lovely restaurants that are not too costly and where you don't feel rushed through your meal. At night you feel you have the island almost to yourself, though this was October and it's possibly different in August. The weather was still in the 20s though, and perfect. The apartment has a great location so that you can look across the lagoon and see the distant spire of the San Marco bell tower. The photos might suggest that you look directly out over the water but there is actually a Vaporetto stop just under the window. I had a 'Life of Brian moment' on day one when I opened the windows wide to look out at the sea... Despite the stop being there and it being busy at times, it was never a nuisance and most of the time it was empty and quiet. Similarly, the apartment is over a Pizzeria but it seemed to shut very early and was never really noticeable from inside the flat. Fabio's apartment was an ideal place for some special days away and he was very quick to answer all messages and was very accommodating to our travel needs at both ends of the trip. Thank you Fabio!
