Absolutely wonderful apartment in the heart of Venice! We stayed for a full week and felt like real Venetians. The location is ideal, close to Rialto, but tucked away on a quiet canal. The building itself is historic, and the apartment has traditional Venetian details, including very high ceilings with wooden beams and chandeliers in the living room and bedroom. The beds were extremely comfortable, the air conditioner was great, and the bathroom was very modern. The area around the apartment has some of the best restaurants and shops in Venice. We ate very authentic cuisine in off the beaten path family restaurants. Paulo is an excellent host! He arranged private transfer for us to and from the airport via private car and boat. Highly highly recommend Paolo’s place!
