COMMENT May 5th to 18th 2007
Buona Sera Margherita....
We just wanted to tell you how delighted we were to stay in your beautiful apartment. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the location was perfect. Our neighbors in the house were very pleasant as was everybody we met in Venice. We will be recommending to our family and friends and if you would like to use us as references for future visitors we will be glad to help. Our vacation was made even more memorable by your graciousness and kindness. I'm sorry we did not get to meet you in person. Perhaps another time.
Grazie!....Ted

COMMENT September 10th for 8 Months 2006/07
We had the great good luck to be able to live in this apartment for over 8 months! We recommend it to anyone who wants have the feeling of "living" in Venice even if you only stay a few days.
The apartment is the ground floor of a two-family house that has been in this family for generations. It was renovated as a weekend house for the owners, therefore, it is very much a family home, with modern bathrooms and kitchen. It is furnished not with Ikea junk (like most rental apartments in Venice), but instead with old pieces of furniture and nice art. The result is an elegant but homey apartment.
The large living room, sala and master bedroom have large windows on the small walled garden. The garden is furnished for outdoor eating and has an ancient well.
The apartment is one dead-end block off the Zattere, the main walking street along the Giudecca Canal--the widest and most beautiful canal in Venice. The Zattere is one of the few places in Venice where one can actually stroll along a canal--as well as find a grocery store and other necessities of life. Real Venetians live here. It is removed from the tourist hub bub, but is still only a short walk and one vaporetto stop from the Piazza San Marco.
The apartment is well ventilated and has a modern heating and cooling system, so it does not feel humid or musty. This can be a problem in Venice. It is also high enough off the canal so high water does not reach the apartment.
One advantage for us was the fact that the owners speak excellent English. Although we are working on our Italian, it was wonderful to speak to someone who could really understand and answer your questions, especially for such a long stay like ours.
The apartment was perfect for us and I still feel it was a privilege to stay there. Perhaps it will work for you too. In any event, have a wonderful time in Venice.Oregon, USA

COMMENT from September 14th to 24th 2007:
Dear Margherita
We're back from Venice as I am sure you realise, and what a wonderful
holiday we have had. Your flat is really one of the best,
so beautifully furnished, and with plenty of space,
and the courtyard which is so pleasant
to cool down in after a heavy day among the crowds of tourists.
We are also agreed that it is in by far the best place in Venice.
So wonderful to go out in the morning and see the sun over Giudecca; and equally lovely to wander down the Zattere in the evening in the peace and quiet.
We really enjoyed ourselves,
and I would be most interested to hear about
your Paris flat for another year.
DAVID

COMMENT from June 3th to August 3th 2007
Dear Margherita,
We were fortunate enough to stay in your apartment for 1 month in the summer of 2007. We also spent three months in Venice later that same year, in another apartment - because yours was not free - and so we have a real familiarity with the city and a basis for comparing your apartment with other locations. Yours wins hands down!
The location in eastern Dorsoduro is the best in the city: it is quiet, and one appreciates the rarity of quietness in Venice when one spends time there; also it is right next to the Zattere, on the open water, looking out toward Giudecca.
Walking along the Zattere and inhaling the fresh marine air gives a sense of openness and exhilaration that is hard to find in this crowded city. And in case visitors who don't know the city think that it is too far away because it is not right next to St Mark's Square, they should know that Venice is very small, and that your apartment has ready access to everything.
I also enjoyed meeting you, and appreciated your helpfulness with everything that arose, as well as your care in creating a book of directions and to-do's that made finding things - like the supermarket - much easier. Not all Venetian landlords are as charming or considerate!

COMMENT FROM APRIL 15TH TO 29TH 2008
dear Margherita
sometimes we were 6, sometimes 4 and a litlle time just 2, but whatever the apartment was perfect! The combination of beautiful traditional style with absolutely up to date facilities was exactly what we had wanted. In fact your place is very like our house in France in that respect - even down to the double doors! We felt totally at home and hope to have the chance to come back one of these days.As I said before all is absolutely first rate and quite exceptional ...We loved every second!
Many thanks, Trevor

Hi
we had a great time. Thanks very much and happy New Year.
Regards Sarah


COMMENT FROM MAY 16th to 24th 2009


The apartment was ideal for our purposes.Spacious and cool in a very warm environment.We wanted to be on the Zattere this time, and had a dog with us.Above all we chose it because it seemed beautifully decorated and laid out.It fully lived up to our expectations.Because we know Venice very well, we tend to spend more time in the apartment and garden than most visitors would.We have in the past rented apartments in Castello and Cannareggio, often in winter.We would certainly consider renting your apartment again.
All the best. Harold.

Susan Pignotti : ciao Margerita we had a wonderful time in Venice and felt so at home in your apartment. It was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you for all your assistance. Hope you are well and I hope your son gets home soon for the holidays. Hopefully we will be back some day to Venice or Paris which I also love.


Again, thank you so much. Susan
