The "Royal Loft" Nikita and his mother were all amazing, and we had an unforgettable experience overlooking the rooftops of Venice just steps from Saint Marc's Basilica and the Campanile and Giants' bell tower , all of which were framed by our charming window in this delightful and imaginative hideaway. A Venetian dream, with a touch of fun worthy of the Carnivale tradition here, spacious, clean, very special indeed. Our hosts were exceedingly helpful with restaurant advice and in so many ways, they went above and beyond! We are coming back. For anyone seeking a fun, romantic and surprisingly authentic experience (I was here many times as a child and that old feeling of the old Venice is increasingly hard to find) this unique place is for you!
