Ah, Venice! One of the world's most romantic cities.
When you're seeking out a place to make your home base on such an auspicious occasion as a sojourn to the courtyards and narrow alleyways on the island of canals, it's important you find a flat that captures some of the magic and yet still offers you refreshment and renewal.
Nestled in a quiet spot, overlooking the sparkling waterway, and within an easy walk of all the places you want to visit, this apartment is the perfect retreat. It offers you all the comforts of home, but the beauty comes in the fact you are somewhere much more invigorating than your own mundane life. You're in the very heart of history and surrounded by what is possibly the most photogenic setting in the world.
Paola, your host, is amazing and thoughtful. She met us at the waterbus stop and showed us how to navigate the labyrinth that is Venice before recommending her favorite places to eat and wishing us all the best on our adventures. She made sure to welcome us to her home with a kind smile and open arms, and it was as though all of Italy was embracing us.
There are a lot of places you could stay while island hopping in the lagoon, but this one gives you a special feeling, as though you're being cradled in rooms someone has cared for. And it's location is both lovely and convenient. If you're on a romantic holiday with someone, or if you're simply looking for a place to lay your head while exploring this beautiful world of ours, this is a stellar place to call your temporary home.
