I can't begin to express how much we enjoyed our stay at Gloria and Pierantonio's lovely apartment in Venice. Firstly, communications with Gloria, and with her friend Christine who met us to show us the apartment were great. We met with Christine at the vaporetto stop and she took us there to show us around. We met Gloria and Pierantonio shortly afterwards, as they live in the same building. They were so kind and so hospitable.

Gloria had left a number of items for us - milk, juice, water, wine, coffee, tea, bread and many other staples. What a thoughtful host.

The apartment itself is truly beautiful. It's located in a quiet area between Santa Croce and San Polo, but still so close to a grocery store, vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal, and many charming little restaurants. The view from the living room over the canal is simply breathtaking.

The apartment is very spacious, it was immaculately clean, and very comfortable. The huge bathroom is very modern with a large shower and Jacuzzi tub, as well as a washing machine which was very handy. The kitchen was also well equipped with everything we needed.

We would most definitely stay there again, and we highly recommend it to all.
