This is an outstanding apartment on the impressive island of Giudecca. Our host Mario was easy to communicate with and offered good advice on where to eat and places to see off the beaten track. The apartment was first class, spotlessly clean and it felt like a boutique hotel but much better value. The apartment is a few minutes walk from the vaporetto stop on the waterfront and there is a well stocked Coop supermarket on the way. I have to mention the roof terrace...Amazing views across the island and towards San Marco. It was a perfect place to relax at the end of a busy days sightseeing. The island of Giudecca deserves a mention too...we thought it was just going to be a cheaper place to stay within easy reach of the main districts and sights, but it was more than that. The island has a lot of interesting buildings and sights. Well worth a tour! The waterfront is significantly quieter and easier to find waterside tables at the many restaurants and bars. There were some really nice places and we ended up eating most evenings here.
