We had no idea what to expect of our stay during an extremely hot summer in Venice. The apartment was absolutely lovely and the air conditioning was a godsend! Frederico was a wonderful host! He gave us many good restaurant suggestions and suggestions of sites to see and how to get there. His wife left us little cookies and lovely shower gel! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.
One thing to note is that the third bedroom is down a long flight of stairs but this was fine with us.
We loved staying away from the huge crowds by being in the Carneggio. It’s an absolutely beautiful neighborhood and feels very safe.
Great shops and restaurants near the apartment. We had a wonderful tour of the back canals of the Carneggio with gondolier Luca Padua, his email is luckyluca6@hotmail.com/+39 3405 11 60 63 It’s absolutely worth paying for the hourlong ride: 160E for the five of us.
Loved our insanely good pizza dinner at Al Vecio Forno and the owner was delightful. Also, Casa Bonita had lovely pasta dishes served right by a Canal.
Wish we had planned at least one more night in Venice!
