This home has a modern, sophisticated feel and look while being cozy at the same time, with high-end finishes and appliances throughout. The tile work is so amazing. Pictures do not capture the size of the spaces and the light from three exposures. Its location is around the corner from the Redentore (Church of the Santissimo) vaporetto stop and idyllically situated in a residential neighborhood with a grocery, pharmacy, and restaurant mere steps away. There are also many other delicious restaurant options within a 5-10 min walk, as well as a lovely park just a few steps from the front door with benches lining a view of the Veneto Lagoon.
The outdoor patio was a relaxing treat for morning coffee and afternoon retreats. Not surprising that the owner, Alessio, is an architect and his partner wife, Katia, is deft with flowers, plants and other refinements. There was even a bottle of chilled Prosecco in the fridge!
Alessio and Katia could not have been more accommodating. They met us at the vaporetto stop when we arrived—which was especially nice after a long journey—were always responsive, supplied us with vaporetto and bus schedules, gave us tips and suggestions for our visit, and even made the appointments for our required Covid tests.
Selfishly, I’d love to keep their amazing property a secret—but when hosts are as fantastic as they are, it has to be shared. One last mention must be made of their adorable dog, Isadora, who loves to cuddle. If you’re lucky, you might even get to meet her.
I couldn’t recommend this property any more highly or enthusiastically. Ciao!
