Guest Reviews

• Vivian (10/5): One of the best stays/vacations we’ve taken. - The location is an 11/10 right on the Grand Canal. Alessandro was wonderful and gave us great restaurant recommendations and tips regarding the neighborhood. The apartment is incredibly clean had everything you could possibly need. We will be returning! Nothing!
• Wayne (10/5): - Most helpful host, Alessandro. Great location close to two different vaparetto stops. Quiet; scenic. The property had anything one could need. What a treat to be in a portion of a palace on the grand canal! Nothing to dislike.
• Gregory (10/5): A perfect choice for our bucket-list adventure - Ideal location on the Grand Canal in an historic building, really with a lot of charm. The living room and kitchen windows looked out directly on the canal. It's on the ground floor, so access is easy. It's in a quieter area (Accademia) than the San Marco area, but has easy access to San Marco, etc by walking or vaporetto. The washing machine / dryer worked fine. The host showed us how to use appliances, manage recycling/garbage. Other reviewers have recommended we take the vaporetto from the train station to Accademia - what a big mistake! The massive crowd at the train station trying to get onto the vaporettos resulted in a 45 min crush on the pier. This was mid-day on a week-day. I wished I'd investigated the cost of a water taxi. It would have made our introduction to Venice so much nicer. On our return to the train station we were able to find space on the first vaporetto without any difficulties.
• Anil (10/5): - Alexander is a fantastic host, he guided me right from the moment I landed in Venice till the time I left for Dolomites, transportation, restaurants, places of interest etc., making sure my stay at his property was comfortable! Moreover, the property itself was perfect very well maintained with all the modern amenities and located in the heart of Venice.
• Hannah (10/5): A wonderful apartment - do not hesitate to book! - There is so much to love about this beautiful apartment, it is spacious, clean, comfortable and not to mention has a gorgeous view of the Grand Canal. The apartment was situated in the more peaceful area of Dorsoduro, which was perfect for our trip as it was very easily accessible to all of the major sights, either by short walk or by the nearby vaporetto stops, with nothing but winding streets and bridges over quiet canals at every turn. Last but certainly not least, our host Alessandro could not have been better; he was extremely accommodating, helpful and attentive, we felt very cared for. Alessandro went above and beyond to introduce us to the area and provide us with lots of wonderful recommendations. Thank you so much for helping to make our first trip to Venice so special! I selected this apartment for my partner and I based on the reviews of others and we were not disappointed. For anyone trying to find a place to stay in Venice, look no further! Nothing, everything was perfect.
• Marius Gabriel (8/5): -
• András (10/5): -
• MIGUEL (10/5): The host was extremly kind and helpful. Location, view, Venice-experience: 10! - The canal view 😍 -
• verkooijen (10/5): Fantastic stay, wonderful city, wonderful apartment! - Perfect location, spacious apartment, windows overlooking the Canal Grande Everything was perfect!
• Bridget (10/5): A beautiful place to stay! - The Dimora Contarini Charm Apartment was one of our favorite places to stay at during our time spent in Italy. Alessandro the host, met us at the port to help guide us on where to go for the first time. He helped with our luggage, made sure that we had everything we needed, and checked in with us during our trip. As requested, he gave us some transportation choices for our departure to the airport too and made sure everything was working out okay with what we chose. He even helped with some advice on restaurants so we could experience authentic Italian cuisine. His suggestions were amazing and for places we would of never found on our own. Even my child wanted to return to the first restaurant we ate at. The location of the place was amazing as it was right on the Grand Canal in what used to be a palace. In my opinion, the architecture of the palace walking in to get to the room was amazing to see each day. The room itself was spacious, very clean, and up to date with everything you needed. The kitchen was filled with everything we needed to make our stay special. The place, had a dishwasher, oven, stove, a full size refrigerator, washing machine and all the extras to go with. Everything is as pictured in the listing and the place was equipped with everything a guest needs to have a great time in Venice. We are hoping to get to return here once again in the future. Nothing everything was perfect.
• Kristi (10/5): Grand Canal convenience - Location on the Grand Canal right by the Accademia bridge and lots of restaurants. Watching the boats go by was so much fun. Alessandro was wonderful, very responsive, and a very nice man. Nothing at all.
• Christian (10/5): If you're visiting Venice, and you can, then stay at Dimora Contarini Charm Apartment on Grand Canal - Alessandro, our fantastic host, arranged our water taxi to the apartmenmt and met us at the apartment and give us a quick tour of the surrounding neighbourhood and, because we arrived quite late, he arranged a booking at a nearby restaurant which was excellent. He was always available to answer any questions we had and gave us numerous recommendations and suggestions for our stay in Venice. The location of the apartment on the Grand Canal and the apartment located in the White Palace was stunning! The photos on the listing don't really show what an amazing place it is. When we go back to Venice, we will definitely be staying here again. Nothing could be better.
• Derek (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robin (10/5): Great place to stay in Venice - The location was perfect for us. Close to main attractions. Views onto the Grand Canal. A short stroll from amazing bars & restaurants
• Verne (10/5): Exceptional - The locaiton is right on the Grand Canal, uoi look right out the windows at all of the boats passing by. Allessandro is an excellent host, he was very helpful in answering questions about restaurants, ferry and anything else we asked him. The rooms are ideally set up, the kitchen is fully furnished. I would say it was the best place we have ever booked and Allessandro was obviously the best host. Absolutely nothng
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Great host very comfortable and clean apartment. Excellent location right near ferry.
• Diane (10/5): It was very enjoyable. - Location was excellent. The sofa bed mattress was a bit on the hard side.
• Tonyb (10/5): Awesome Stay on Gran Canal - Its a Palazzo Apartment on the Gran Canal of Venice . Location, location, location . Nothing.
• Tonyb (10/5): Exceptional - Location on Gran Canal. Great apartment. Excellent host . Nothing
• Lisa (10/5): Most perfect stay in Italy - Absolutely outstanding. Wonderful quiet place on grand canal and 1/2 block academia bridge. Alessandro was a magnifiicant host and helped me every step of the way. Wish I could duplicate this experience in every city. Nice to be able to do laundry in washer dryer. Truly A plus Nothing it was perfect
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Venice is an amazing place and staying at the Dimora Contarini apartment made the experience even more magical. The location is perfect and within walking distance to all main touristic spots and there is also a water bus stop right next to in. it is fully equipped with everything you need. Alessandro is an amazing host, always available to help providing advice on restaurants, local area and transportation to/from the apartment. we had to leave super early and Alessandro managed to book us a water taxi and provided us with info on the best options to travel back to the airport. if you can, suggest you arrive by water taxi, where you get to the apartment via the palace pontoon - Alexandro was there waiting for us. We would love to come back.
• Diane (10/5): Allesandro was an excellent host. Made sure we were well informed about everything. - The sofa bed.
• Tyson (10/5): Very nice apartment in fantastic location - Fantastic location. Very comfortable apartment. Alessandro was extremely helpful in giving us options how to get to and from the apartment and showed us how to use everything. He arranged a boat taxi for us back to the airport which was a splurge but great. My only complaint was Alessandro told us it would be hard to find somewhere for dinner so he offered to make reservations for us, and the place he suggested was overpriced and not great, plus we walked past tons of restaurants with lots of empty tables on our way there. So that was bad advice we shouldn’t have followed.
• Thomas (10/5): Overall we loved our time here - The host was very gracious. Very available to help us if needed. The apartment itself is gorgeous, located directly on the grand canal, near accademia. It was a wonderful spot to stay during our time in Venice. Nothing!
• Evi (10/5): Perfect stay in Venice!! - This place exceeded our expectations! First, its location is unbeatable—right on the canal. You take a water taxi to get to the palace, the stunning view right from the window and everything is within walking distance. Second, the host was incredibly gracious, offering recommendations for local restaurants (the two of his recommendations were superb!), checking in to see if we needed anything, and making sure we felt at home. The apartment itself is spacious, full of historical charm (16th century), and even comes with a washer-dryer combo as a bonus. We feel so lucky to have stayed here!!
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fabrice (10/5): Exceptional - An amazing XVI vénitian palace Amazing place And Thank you Alessandro for amazing restaurant adresses All was perfect
• Kathy (10/5): Alessandro was so gracious and welcoming, he made our stay seamless and stress-free by meeting us at the dock, taking us - Beautiful apartment, great size, well-equipped, very modern, spotless, drop off and pick up on the dock was so convenient and gorgeous views onto the Grand Canal. Absolutely nothing, it was perfect for my husband and I.
• Lesley (10/5): Everything perfection! - It was perfect !

• Zoe (10/5): Exceptional - Alessandro was the perfect host. Extremely attentive, he answered all our questions and recommended fantastic restaurants. Could not ask for more. It was such a great experience to stay in a palazzo and the flat was beyond our expectations.
• Htein (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. Very friendly host. Very good view ( from outside of apartment ). We really enjoyed staying there! We really enjoy staying there. So no complaint!
• Emma (10/5): One of the best places I have ever stayed. - Excellent location Alessandro was a friendly host and did everything possible to make sure our stay was comfortable.
• Cielo (10/5): Beautiful apartment with an excellent host - This was the best place we could have stayed in while in Venice! Staying at this beautiful apartment truly elevated our experience in the city and made for an unforgettable trip. The apartment is a blend of antique Venetian style with a modern kitchen and bathroom. It was perfect for our family of 4, the beds were super comfortable and the place was spotless. Everything was fully equipped and our host, Alessandro, even left us some delicious goodies for our stay. Alessandro was the best host we could ask for! He was very attentive and communicative from the start. He met us at the waterbus station when we arrived and gave us a very detailed tour of the surrounding neighborhood and the apartment itself. The apartment is located right on the Grand Canal, so its in a central and safe area and its super easy to get to the main sites on foot. Not only that, but he also gave us the best restaurant recommendations and even made a reservation for us to catch a watertaxi upon our departure (which picked us up right on the apartment’s dock)! He was extremely kind and really made our stay at his place a dream. We won’t hesitate to come back to Alessandro’s place on our next trip to Venice! N/A
• Zdenek (10/5): Pleased with beautiful apartment in an excellent location - The apartment is in a convenient location by Academia bridge, with views on of Grand Canal traffic and boat access. Spotless clean place recently renovated in modern functional style. This is complemented by carefully selected furniture pieces resembling the artistic traditions of Venice. The exceptional assistance received from the owner went beyond our expectations considering our short stay.
• Anila (10/5): Beautiful apartment - Great host, great location, apartment was equipped very well, it was clean and spacious. Alessandro was very helpful host, recommended places to eat, shops, local transport etc. Nothing, perhaps with some families using both rooms, bathroom was through the bedroom. Didn’t bother us though.
• Magdalene (10/5): Fabulous property on the grand canal Venice . Home away from home ♥️. - Fantastic location, magical home with everything we needed. We felt at home here because the warmth and generosity of the host / owner of the property was exceptional. The owner treated us like family from the day we arrived till our departure date. He picked us up from the boat stop to the apartment which made it easier for us to navigate our way to the property. FYI, the apartment is only a short 3 mins walk from the Accademia stop. The owner made sure that we were comfortable including taking us to a nearby restaurant for lunch. On the departure day , he took us to the jetty to catch our boat to the airport . The amenities in the property were amazing and everything worked efficiently. The beds were super. House was well heated so this was a great bonus 😊. The property is situated on the grand Canal so had great “postcard” views. Our stay here was magical and unforgettable. We shall return soon ! Thanks Alessandro for the lovely experience. The best property and host we’ve encountered. Looking forward to our next trip. Top notch !
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about our stay was perfection. The Host, Alessandro was a dream. He could not have done more to make our trip so very wonderful. He went above and beyond to help us with any little thing. We honestly have never had better service anywhere. We loved our flat and the location was perfect. I loved being able to have a great cup of coffee when we woke up without going out, which Alessandro provided. Snacks and water as well. It was a dream and we cannot wait to go back and will very soon. Thank you Alessandro!!
• Dia (10/5): Lovely stay - We couldn't be more pleased that we stayed at this beautiful apartment. It's full of character, conveniently located within walking distance of the main square, and has great views of the canal. It has a private dock, which made the transfer from the airport and to the train station very easy. The apartment was clean, spacious, and very well-equipped, and the beds were very comfy. The tea/coffee and Venetian snacks were a lovely touch. We had everything we needed during our stay as a family of four. Alessandro was a fabulous host and made our stay very comfortable. He was very generous with providing help whenever needed, from a late dinner reservation at a local restaurant on arrival (the food was great) to an early water taxi booking during check-out. Communication was prompt, clear, and easy at all times. This stay definitely made our trip to Venice all the more delightful - wish we could've stayed longer. Would highly recommend! N/A
• Julianne (10/5): Perfection!!! A thousand times beyond expectations. - Everything. This place is perfection. The owner, Alessandro, looked after us as if we were family. He met us at the Palazzo's jetty and helped with our bags. Alessandro also made us feel totally welcome, showed us the ins and outs of the apartment, and after we had time to settle down a bit, he came back to collect us for a little tour around the neighbourhood. He made terrifuc suggestions for where to eat, what to see, and where to shop for necessities. The apartment is gorgeous, and Andrew has a serious case of kitchen envy. There was a dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, oven, and even filtered water available directly from the fridge. All the possible comforts were provided. Alessandro even arranged dinner reservations and the water taxi hire for our trip to the train station on departure. We pray that we'll be able to come back soon and enjoy this charming apartment and location again. There's nothing to not like about the Dimora Contarini apartment.
• Penny (10/5): Staying in this apartment made our trip more magical for sure! - Location perfect, being on the grand canal was magical, quiet area but close enough to walk to the busier areas, close to the water bus station useful, warm and cosy which in November was a necessity! There was nothing to dislike!
• Joseph (10/5): One of the best traveling experiences we've had! - The property exceeded our expectations. Location was so convenient being close to the water bus stop and popular attractions. It was very roomy and newly renovated with both kitchen and bathroom very well equipped. The host (Alessandro) made the check-in and check-out process very convenient and even gave us a tour of the neighborhood. He provided excellent recommendations and helped arrange transportation to the airport. Venice ended up being the favorite of the three cities we visited in Italy and I think this property and host had a lot to do with that. Definitely recommend! No complaints! Wished we could've stayed a few more nights!
• Camille (10/5): Alessandro was the perfect host recommending fantastic restaurants in the area, organising water taxis to pick us up fro -
• Carol (10/5): Perfection, privacy, quiet on the Grand Canal - It has taken me a couple of weeks to write this review as I really want to impress on those thinking about this property how very special this gem of an apartment is. We have stayed in different apartments all over Venice for many years and this is by far the best. From the owner meeting our water taxi at the private dock to the help with my special needs as I had broken my arm. He really went out of the way to help in all kinds of ways including getting us a reservation at a restaurant very nearby that is notoriously small and difficult to get a table. The apartment is basically brand new and has all of our must have features: AC, level floors, clothes washer/dryer, full kitchen of appliances (even a dishwasher) and everything you need to cook and enjoy your meals. Meals on the table overlooking the Grand Canal ... try to beat that. The Academia vapporetto stop is very close to the apartment which is behind a locked gate into a palazzo where the owner grew up and is now raising his family. That means he was a few floors above us and able to help at any time we needed him. I am happy to recommend this apartment and just hope when we return to Venice that it will be available. Actually, we will probably time our visit to the availability of the apartment.
• Mary (10/5): Beautiful Apartment and Fabulous stay in Venice - Very well equipped and clean. Location was perfect. Away from crowds but easy to get to all tourist attractions. Alessandro was an amazing host and easy to contact at any time. We would definitely come back again. Do not hesitate to book this property. Nothing - All Great
• Athanasios (10/5): A gem in Venice. - Dimora Contarini Charm Apartment on Grand Canal is a lovely apartment in a fantastic neighbourhood. It's just a few steps from Accademia vaporeto stop and the bridge that connects you to San Marco area. You feel safe in this area. The apartment is lovely decorated and well maintened, with able space and next to the Grand Canal. You can even walk from the building to the private exit to the canal. It offers a large fridge, microwave and all kitchen equipment (though we didn't have to use most of it). The owner, Alessandro, realy cares for all the details and was available all the time for whatever question we may had. The price isn't low, but this reflects the quality of the apartment and I guess this has also to do with all the Venice accommodations, since it is a destination with thousands and thousands of tourists. We're coming from Greece, middle aged couple used to 4+ or 5* accommodations, and stayed there from the 28th to the 30th of September, 2024. All was excellent. Nothing to complaint about.
• Kelly (10/5): Perfect! We will stay again in the future! - Loved Everything! The kitchen was well stocked with plates and glasses, and it was also great to have a dishwasher and washer and dryer. They also had 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator and little bags of breadsticks and snacks to munch on. The hosts, Alessandro and Ambra, were very helpful with recommending restaurants and showing us how things worked in the apartment. Nothing
• Keith (10/5): An amazing apartment and location and the owner could not have been more helpful. - The property was in a fantastic location and the apartment had everything that you could possibly need for a stay. Alessandro was incredibly helpful. He met us on arrival at the Water Bus stop, and even walked us around the neighbourhood to show us places to get good meals and coffees etc. The position is amazing right on the ground Canal as you look out the window and we would definitely stay there again next time we visit Venice. We have travelled to many places around the world and we could not recommend this place highly enough . We only had enough time to stay 2 nights. Would have liked to stay longer.
• Jacob (10/5): Amazing place, amazing location, excellent service from the owner, I highly recommend! - It's one of the most amazing places I've been through BOOKING. Beyond the excellent location, the owner of the apartment takes care and helps in everything and tries to assist in everything - even the smallest thing. I'm sure I'll be back there!
• David (10/5): A charismatic apartment, recently and expertly renovated, and situated on the Grand Canal. Wow! - When arriving in a city like Venice you want a place that captures the romance, history and charisma of this great city. We took a shared water taxi to arrive at the Accademia bridge and to be met by our wonderful host, Alessandro. A short stroll down a busy and narrow path, and we arrive at an elaborate wrought iron gate in what is clearly an historic building. Through an atmospheric courtyard and we arrive at a large and stately foyer, statues on either side, and at the far end a gate that leads to a private jetty on the Grand Canal. Our apartment is off to the left. Alessandro led us into what is a magical apartment – recently and expertly renovated, but clearly with a history extending over centuries. The apartment has a large lounge with windows looking directly to the Grand Canal – boats of many sorts glide by as we are awestruck by the beauty and history of the apartment. The kitchen has everything we need – ovens, a very large fridge, a washing machine/drier (with an amazing cycle that will wash and dry light clothes in one hour), a coffee machine and some welcome gifts – water, coffee, something to nibble. The bedroom has a large and comfortable bed, generous cupboards and a bathroom with a large shower off to the side. Two air conditioners mean the apartment is always at a comfortable temperature. Alessandro helps us to settle-in and even takes us for a short stroll to understand the magic of the location of the apartment, and highlighting some eating spots and convenience shops we might need. He leaves us to start our Venice adventure. Alessandro is a perfect host – there to greet us and help us settle-in, happy to help as needed during our stay, and to even check to make sure that we are okay. We have no criticisms - it was a wonderful apartment that allowed for a memorable stay.
• Colin (10/5): Relaxing. Central location. Fantastic host in Alessandro. - Great host in Alessandro, great location on the Grand Canal Nothing
• Melanie (10/5): Great! We’d like to go back. - Lovely modern apartment in a historic palace in a great location right on the Grand Canal. Everything has been finished internally to a high standard and very clean with great facilities. The kitchen is modern and very well equipped and the property owner was very helpful for our stay showing us around the local neighbourhood and recommending restaurants etc Having stayed in other areas of Venice before this area was better for us. Slightly off the beaten track away from the very busy tourist areas. Nothing.
• Yolanda (10/5): Exceptional - Alessandro came to fetched us at the boat bus, helped with our luggage and took to his apartment, showed us around the area, and made sure we are comfortable, we arrived in a spotless clean place, a bottle of wine, two big bottles of water, sparkling and still and a box of biscuits, nothing to bad mouth.
• Samantha (10/5): Highly recommend for your stay in Venice. 5 star - Everything! It’s the perfect apartment for a stay in Venice, location is great, easy walking distance to all the main areas we wished to visit, beautiful views of the grand canal and Alessandro is a great host. Alessandro met us from our water taxi, showed us around the accommodation and local area and was available for any advice or help we needed. The apartment has everything you could need and more! Can’t recommend it enough. Nothing, loved everything
• Marie (10/5): Very well equipped property and location. Very helpful and charming host. -
• Raluca (10/5): Exceptional - This apartment was simply stunning! It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated in a traditional Venetian style. The location was perfect, just a short walk from St. Mark's Square. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious living room. The host was also fantastic – they were very helpful and accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Venice!
• Don (10/5): Alessandro was very helpful and available if I needed anything. The location is amazing and safe behind two locked gates - Very clean recently remodeled all appliances modern. Nothing it is an exceptional property.
• Devnz (10/5): Absolutely faultless! Walk to everywhere!. - Amazing host. Assisted us all the way. Booked our water taxi to the rail station. Gave great advise. Recommended restaurants, and even booked one for us when we told him that my wife was vegetarian! Only a WhatsApp msg away, and continued checking we were ok, even checked with us after we left were arriving in Rome! Wow! Slightly better instructions on use of combi washer dryer and microwave oven combo BUT came over in person to show how to use it!. Hard to fault anything else! Even the toilet paper was 5*..lol!
• Nikol (10/5): The apartment is truly a hidden gem - Unique location with an amazing view to Grand Canal, really close to a Vaporetto station, but you can also get to San Marco Square by walking in about 15 minutes.The apartment has spacious rooms.It’s also charmingly furnished, located in a historic building, a former palazzo, with a private jetty outside.The host - Alessandro is very polite and gives a lot of helpful information including about local tastes. - - -
• Jolita (9/5): A picturesque and yet comfortable place - The location is great. The charming appartement is very comfortable and quiet. Alessandro is a great host who goes out of his way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Everything was fine
• Janine (10/5): A beautiful apartment on the Grand Canal with very thoughtful hosts. - The host, Alessandro, was fabulous. I arrived by water taxi from the airport and Alessandro spoke to the driver so we landed at the Palazzo’s jetty. The position was perfect and the view of the Grand Canal from the living room was gorgeous. It will my first choice for future trips to Venice. Nothing
• András (10/5): Very much recommended - Premium apartment, really on the Canal with own pier, very friendly owner, best ever
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location and lovely owners
• Boris (10/5): Exceptional - Perfectly situated to explore all parts of the city, with the Accademia and its bridge next door, this is a perfect spot in an imposing historical mansion with a view on the Grand Canal. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly.
• Fd (10/5): Memorable stay at Venice thanks to central location, very helpful host and excellent property. - Great location: Apartment is in on the ground floor of grand palatial building (within Palazzo Rocca Contarini Carfu) on grand canal with view of grand canal from the window in lounge. It is also very close to Accademia bridge (with vaporetto stop) which is in the middle of Realto Bridge and St. Mark's square, hence as well as easy walking distance to St. Mark's Square, Realto bridge. Very helpful host Alessandro: Host Alessandro is most helpful host would make sure that your arrival as well as stay is most comfortable. He got in touch with us before holiday and shared his number and then got in touch after landing as well as gave instructions about travel to the property. He also came to meet at boat stop from the airport (Ca Rezzonico) and not only helped wife with the luggage, but mainly it saved us navigating narrow alleys of Venice to the property (which is very challenging if you are first time traveller). He also gave tour of area near the property and was always ready to help and suggestions for restaurant or public transport (He also provided best Italian Nespresso coffee and Venetian biscuits!) Arriving from Airport (finding the place): The place is on the grand canal with own boat landing on the grand canal. If you take water taxi from airport, you can directly land at the property, but if you come by airport boat (Alilaguna), nearest stop is Ca' Rezzonico (but you would need to cross 2 canal bridges and find way around narrow alleyways) or if you come by vaporetto, it is Accademia (less than 50 meter). Best way to find property is to meet host Alessandro at boat stop since it is very difficult to navigate narrow alleys of Venice if it is your first time. In Google map, it is same building as 'Palazzo Rocca Contarini Carfu' but footpath entrance to property is on opposite side of Grand Canal (on very narrow alley (but busy throughfare) connecting Dorsoduro to Accademia bridge (which is only crossing to Grand Canal in that area) There is nothing to not like about the property!
• Eduardo (10/5): Elegance, comfort and convenience wrapped up in one, with a birds eye view of the most famous canal in Venice: heavenly. - This beautiful apartment is located on the Gran Canal with extremely easy access from the vaporetto stop at the Accademia bridge. It was amazing to watch the vast variety of boats pass by the living room windows. The apartment is located in an old lovingly restored palazzo with gorgeous welcoming sculptures which speak of another age. The kitchen is very modern and is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, oven and microwave. The refrigerator is enormous and quite unique in Europe. The bathroom was generously supplied with tissues and other necessaries. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet. The temperature was perfect. The hosts, Alessandra and Ambra, are charming. He met us at the vaporetto stop and gave a detailed tour of the apartment and was always available for suggestions regarding restaurants and important things to see close by. There is nothing to dislike about this places except for the need to eventually return home. Like any apartment you have to remember your personal toiletries and if you plan on doing a lot of cooking think about bringing what you need, spices and oil, etc and stop at a local grocery store for those things. There are plenty of places close by to buy fresh fish and vegetables.
