This apartment is very special. It is a penthouse apartment, created for the building owners, now belonging to the family, who have preserved it in its beautiful entirety. It is both full of gorgeous antiques and paintings, and yet entirely comfortable, with big comfortable couches, good beds, and a fully outfitted kitchen (not modern, but very well organized and usable--appliances are all new). This was definitely one of our most memorable experiences, just a 20 minute bus ride from Venice proper, with the bus just outside the front door. We also took day trips to Verona and Padua, as the train station is only 3 bus stops away. Would love to go back. Nick was super easy to deal with and very kind. Loved it.
