If you want to try to experience Venice in somewhat the same way as the Venetians of old then this is your place to stay. Soaring ceilings, elaborate art work and detail that can only be found in a place that has been around for hundreds of years. Our family of 6 (4 kids between 3 and 14 along with me and my wife) stayed here in late August and it was absolutely perfect. We would have liked to stay in the apartment the entire time if we could have but of course we came to see and experience Venice. The location is absolutely perfect. You are a few minutes walk from Piazza San Marco and yet you are off the beaten path just enough to capture a little bit of peace and quiet from the throngs of tourists. The apartment balcony's and huge windows allow you to watch the gondola's float by while enjoying the sights and smells of the City. My older kids loved the extremely fast wifi, which for teenagers is always the primary measure for how they choose to rate wherever we are staying. Rita was very responsive communicating with us how to get to the apartment, which in a city consisting of what feels like a thousand canals can be a bit daunting, and the check in and check out was flawless.
Everything from the picture perfect courtyard when you enter the building to the handrail made of rope that leads up to the apartment has been thought out and done tastefully. We will definitely stay here again if we return to this lovely City.
