It may have only been one evening but it was an excellent place to stay, with an awesome view in the morning. Awesome hosts and well equipped kitchen meant we wonted for nothing.
It isn't well understood but Venezia and Allergy sufferers are not the best bedfellows. We were unfortunately unable to visit any restaurants due to cross-contamination concerns. It's not their fault. They are doing amazing work making things better. But they do seem to use a lot of groundnut and peanut oils in their cooking, so it made our search impossible (except for some Olives in Brine from one of their excellent delicatessens...). Plus, you don't want your short stay to be a search for safe places to eat, you'll miss all the fun..
So this apartment was even better for us because we were able to go to the CooP, buy fresh and cook at home, safe in the knowledge we had a warm, fully equipped apartment to eat safely.
Thanks Paolo and Riccardo. When we next visit we will check your availability first :-)
