Palazzina Canal Apartment

Très bel appartement, bien équipé, sur le bord d'un canal, dans un des derniers quartiers populaires de Venise ?

Kurzfassung: Sehr schön! Für 3 Paare und 2 Singles sehr schön. Obwohl die Singles atmosphärische Einbußen hinnehmen müssen. Für 5 Paare möglich, aber 2 Paare haben dann nicht so schöne Zimmer. Die Bäder sind sehr gut, die Küche sehr kommunikativ, modern und sehr gut ausgestattet. Zu wenig Schneidbretter und wie häufig in Ferienwohnungen die Messer zu stumpf. Service vor, nach und während des Besuches: Top! Besser geht nicht! Lage und Aussicht des Appartements ist ausgezeichnet. Die Beschreibung und die Fotos auf der Web-Site treffen voll zu! Preis-Leistung je nach Saison ok! Empfehlung für ein Familientreffen? Ja!

The apartment, directly overlooking the Cannaregio Canal, is on the 2nd ( USA 3rd ) floor, well positioned to view the boat festivities that open the Venice Carnevale. Access is via very steep stairs. Conveniently, it is about 750 metres by foot from St Lucia train station. The Alilaguna ferry Orange line from the Airport stops at Guglie vaporetto stop, less than 150 metres away. The kitchen is large and well appointed, although the oven was broken during the 10 day period we were there, despite promises to fix it. In the larger bathroom with the bath, the attached shower was unable to be used satisfactorily, as there is no curtain surrounding the bath; consequently water sprayed over wall and floor. We recommend the bath be replaced with a self contained shower. On a minor point, we were surprised the smaller bathroom contained no toilet paper holder. The ensuite in the master bedroom is well appointed. The heating system worked well in each room. Cafes and a supermarket are close by. A detracting feature was the smell of raw sewage from two vent outlet pipes on the roof adjacent to the apartment, about three metres from the side bedrooms. This impacted two of the three side facing bedrooms, which had to keep their windows shut. ( We were informed this occurs during " low water seasons " and impacts other places in Venice as well. ) Staff at the Red House Company, managing agents, were extremely helpful and responsive. For a large group, this apartment is well worth considering.
