At night you hear the gondolas go by with the songs of a tenor rising from the canals. An apt? No a little palace with a homey charm in the kitchen. The decor of giant paintings with gold frames and Murano glass chandeliers, four bedrooms and only two have bathrooms attached. The beds were fine enough— all the amenities you need are there. It feels lived in and the best part you are in the heart of Venice without feeling like u are in the mix of it all. It gets so crowded once u leave your canal. The place is huge and the five of us, two couples and one adult it was great. Two living rooms! Lots of space to lounge... the couches could use new springs but there is romance to it— like you are visiting your great great aunt’s home. However the master bedroom has no blinds has beautiful decorative curtains that just do that and whenever you shower you kind of get water everywhere. But who cares you are in Venice and gondolas are going by. We were traveling when it’s starting to get chilly and the heat was pumping! Rita was awesome easy check in and out and she reserved water taxis to pick us up 12 min ride to & from the train station. Traveling with three seniors no hoofing it over the bridges with our luggage. Also two flights up marble stairs so have some muscles if u have luggage like we did!
