Venice is always a challenge given its limited geography, but Residenza Ducati solves this wonderfully with great staff and very beautifully executed construction. They have preserved the beauty of the original building and little courtyard while updating all of the internal comforts from air conditioning to bathroom layout.
Paola and Valentina were so thoughtful and thorough and really made our stay easy and comfortable from their initial contact, scheduling water taxis and even coming to meet us on the canal to guide us through the winding alleys of Venice!
Also, the little touches like a bag of cornetto at our door the first morning, really made us feel comfortable and welcome!
Location was great for us, right between Rialto and Piazza San Marco. Not that anything in Venice is terribly far away, but we wandered to San Silvestre and San Polo multiple times without difficulty. It is so wonderful to just get lost in Venice!
This is not a property for views of the lagoon obviously, but for us, the prospect of being on a separate island or far to one side of Venice was not what we were seeking.
Would definitely return and hope to see Valentina and Paola again! Grazie mille!
