Venice is indeed a beautiful city but staying here at Elena's home was what made our family holiday extra special in every way. We were a travelling party of three 'mature' couples with two of us having mobility problems. However, due to the location of this home and the spaciousness of its interior, we had no issues at all.
Each of the three bedrooms has it's own space and bathroom and thus total privacy from eachother. We cooked wonderful meals in the well equipped kitchen, using in the evenings the beautiful outdoor area to eat and talk late into the night under the garden lights. Just a few steps away is a fabulous supermarket and the little cafe with freshly baked cakes and pastries right across the canal from us was our favourite coffee spot.
It was so easy to walk everywhere and the longer we stayed the more magical places so close to us were discovered! Gondolas quietly floated past our windows on the canal by our front door. We didn't ever want to leave!
Arriving by train from Rome, it was just a short walk across the Grand Canal bridge in front of the station and around a few corners to the front door. A porter charged us €5 per bag to get our luggage (with wheelchair) over the bridge and we followed him to our door. When leaving for the cruise terminal, Elena booked us a water taxi that collected us on the canal at our door and took us to the terminal. A wonderful way to say farewell to Venice.
Elena was an excellent communicator and catered for our every need with speed and kindness.
If you are looking for an outstanding, comfortable, high quality, traditional Venetian residence to make your holiday one to treasure forever, this is it.
