We were welcomed and shown around the apartment - and given information about the local area (which reiterated the information we had received in advance of arrival). A variety of provisions were provided, including a chilled bottle of prosecco.

The apartment is spacious and was spotlessly clean. The furnishing and decorations make it both comfortable and authentic.

The Castello location is excellent for services and a relaxed local flavour, as well as being handy for vaporetti (including the route to Piazzale Roma and the airport bus).
