A lovely small apartment in the heart of Venice. The apartment was just what we needed for our short break in Venice. The bedroom is large and the bed was very comfortable and the location is perfect for sightseeing, with great restaurants and transport links nearby.

We would recommend a restaurant called PIZZERIA ANTICO PANIFICIO which is 5 mins walk from the apartment. It serves delicious seafood pasta and cheap wine. The only problem is that it isn't very romantic - bright lighting etc but if you want great food then go for it! We went there four times it was so good!

If this is your first time in Venice, we would recommend staying away from the touristy areas around St Marks Square and venturing down to the Dorsoduro area which is absolutely stunning. The island of Burano is also worth a visit.

Thank you to Paola and Cinzia for being wonderful hosts and for putting this lovely apartment up on this site. It's much, much nicer than staying in a soulless hotel! Grazie mille! x
