Elisa and Pietro’s gorgeous, well-appointed apartment was the perfect base for our five days in Venice.
The listing is absolutely accurate but in person, everything is even better. Sparklingly clean. Well organized. Thoughtful…every detail considered and accounted for. Lovely artwork and a homey feel without any clutter. Quality appliances and linens. Extras of everything you might need (dishes, quilts, glasses, tea, coffee).
The apartment is spacious and filled with light. Those front windows…..wow. You are on the lagoon right across from San Michele. You can see the Dolomites. You have a sense of space. There’s always action and beauty right in front of you. It’s absolutely perfect. The sunrise over San Michele is lovely and you can watch the city wake up. At night it’s quiet and you can sleep.
We cannot say enough about Elisa as a host. She is incredibly kind and gracious. She gave us great directions for the vaporetto from the train station and met us at the dock to walk us to the apartment. She also met us the morning of our departure to ensure we got on the right boat to the airport. BTW, all the boats you need are practically at your doorstep. It could not be easier. No lugging bags through narrow streets.
Once in the apartment, Elisa went through everything thoroughly & has a book of recommendations & maps to assist you. Again, it’s the thoughtfulness that’s so apparent; she really has thought of everything.
Elisa, thank you so much!
