Francesco and Rachele are fantastic hosts. They looked after us very well, answering our many questions before we arrived, meeting us at the water taxi, organising a restaurant for our daughters 17th birthday (which was excellent - the staff even sang happy birthday for her!). Francesco advised us on where to eat lunch when we arrived and personally escorted us to the restaurant - it was the best pizza we had all weekend! Francesco even offered to come out and take us to a restaurant that was hard to find for our evening meal! All of this should tell you that Francesco and Rachele are excellent hosts - five star!

The location of the apartment is wonderful - it's very easy to get to Rialto and San Marco. It's a real adventure walking the twisting and turning streets that surround the apartment. There are an abundance of restaurants and shops - all within easy walking distance.

When we arrived the fridge was stocked with water, juice, and Prosecco. There was bread and cereal for breakfast - a really nice touch.

If you are coming to Venice you couldn't find a better place to stay!
