Huge apartment with Venetian Charm
We recently stayed in Monica and Carlo’s apartment during our vacation in Venice. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Communication with either Monica or Carlo prior to arrival was fantastic. Day of our arrival, Luca (Monica’s brother) met us at the water taxi to help us with our luggage and show us to the apartment and get us checked in.
We were floored when we arrived, this apartment was once Monica and Luca’s family home and it is not only large, but it is filled with lovely antiques and decor. It surrounds you in old world charm while you stay. We stayed as a family of four, with our two teenage boys and everyone had their own space.
While the apartment itself is lovely and large, it is the views outside your windows that is the show stopper. Almost every window in the apartment overlooks the canals. (It is located where four canals meet) We laughed during our stay watching floods of people stopping to take photos of the bridges and boats and gondola’s on the canal in this beautiful spot, while we just had to look out our window. It definitely is a true Venice experience and views that you will not get anywhere else.
Monica is a licensed tour guide, so we pre-booked her for two tours with our family. First, to give us a city tour one afternoon and then secondly, a private water taxi tour of the islands another morning. She is amazing. Not only is she very informative, but seeing a city through the eyes of a local who loves and appreciates it, allows you a totally different experience. We feel very lucky to have had that time with Monica during our Venice stay.
The apartment is in such a fantastic location in Venice, easily walkable to many key attractions. Not to mention, countless places to dine and shop. Book this apartment for a very unique stay during your trip to Venice. You’ll be happy you did! Thanks again to Monica, Carlo, and Luca for helping our family have such a wonderful and seamless stay.
