If you would like to experience old world Venice like a very lucky native, this is the place. Caterina’s home has a spectacular view and terrace on the grand canal. You can sip your morning coffee staring at the passers by on taxis and gondolas, either from the comfort of a sofa or from the outside terrace. You see the tower of San Marco from the living room too. It is furnished with tasteful antiques and loving touches. The bed (or beds) is comfortable and room very quiet. The perfect recipe for sleep. There is no kitchen—so use Venice’s many restaurants instead! We loved it and hope to return!
