The apartment was quite easy to find and Furio came as soon as we called, even though we were early. The apartment is very atmospheric, part of a larger building - a true Venetian gem in all its faded grandeur. Perhaps it was once a single dwelling for some rich Venetian merchant. I like to think so. A small canal runs in front of the house, and with the big windows open in the bedrooms the serenades of the performers on the gondolas and the chaotic clanging of nearby church bells waft in to provide a most evocative Venetian memory. The apartment is very close to St Marco, and even closer to a Grand Canal Vaporetto stop. For all this, it was very quiet at night. The kitchen of the apartment is incredibly well equipped, and the furnishings in keeping with the apartment. All very clean and comfortable. Furio himself is charming and very helpful in helping you get the most out of your visit. Although Furio told us where the supermarket was, we never found it, maybe we were looking too early in the day, but we were only needing breakfast, and there are plenty of places providing that. Five stars!!
