I felt so fortunate to get to stay at this is a luxurious, beautifully designed apartment within a 500 year old building (the wood ceilings are amazing). Silvia and her husband are wonderful, helping with transportation from the airport, taking the time to go over the details of the apartment, and making recommendations on places to eat (marking them on a map for us). The views and garden are beautiful—a calm oasis of luxury perfectly placed for the biennale and walks around the city. We hope to stay again next time we are in Venice!
