“Greci the great” Spacious, luxurious, relaxing and well appointed...is the Greci Studio for sale?

“Brilliant holiday in a marvellous apartment” Truly Venice provided wonderful service both in the booking of the apartment and in the care we received whilst in Venice. The flat was all it was promised to be on the website and very clean and well maintained. The location is extremely good in our opinion, Dorsoduro being our favourite district in Venice. The access to the garden was a huge bonus and the views over the garden from the flat were absolutely lovely. Highly recommended.

“What a great place!” We finished our last Europe holiday with a week in Venice and booked, what turned out to be, this lovely and centrally located apartment direct on the Grand Canal. It had all the mod cons one would need to make a stay comfortable and easy. Having access to the wonderful gardens was also a plus. Having them housekeeper living on the premises was also advantageous. Watching the passing parade of ferries, gondolas, water taxis and barges from the front lounge room was quite interesting. The bedroom, in the centre of the unit, had a good bed but needed to have better airflow. The only drawback was the occasional early morning clatter of barges negotiating the entrance to the small canal a few metered away. Dorsoduro is a nice, quite 'suburban' locality with terrific, little and inexpensive restaurants, all within easy reach of the unit. We would certainly consider staying here again.

“Not just a room, but two rooms, with a view” Planning a three generation trip to Venice was always going to be a challenge. After all, how do you satisfy the demands of both teenagers and their grandparents? If you are the ones stuck in the middle, then you really have to work hard to try to please both parties in order to have a successful holiday. Fortunately, we had excellent advice and help from Daniela at Truly Venice. We had very specific requirements for a holiday rental apartment, and she came up with the perfect home away from home in the Palladio apartment in Dorsoduro. Would you like wi-fi for the teenagers? No staircases for the grandparents? A vaporetto stop just outside your apartment? What about three of the most popular art museums in Venice at your doorstep? Would you like a room with a view? How about two rooms with a view? We had all these, and more. The folder that Truly Venice provided contained so much information on where to eat, where to shop and what to see that after the first day we left our own guidebooks behind and used theirs instead. After all, this was like having a local friend recommend to you their favourite places. The service which Truly Venice provides extends to organising the pick up by private water taxi from the airport. This made for a very smooth start to our holiday. On our final day, we really appreciated their kindness in allowing us to leave our bags at the apartment until we were ready to leave for the airport. In writing this review, I am mindful of the comments made by other members of my family. They have warned that if I say how wonderful it is, then we run the risk that we will not be able to rent the Palladio in future, due to overwhelming popularity. That may well be the case, but it really is only fair that other families or groups of friends have the opportunity of staying in and enjoying this truly wonderful apartment.

“Comfort, quiet and a spectacular view across the Guidecca canal.” The Palladio garden was just what we needed in Venice. We were attending the Biennale but had teenagers with us, so we needed somewhere a short hop to the Giardini, but with a relaxing lounge and comfortable beds so girls and we could recharge. Stepping out each morning to the wonderful light, water and openness of the Guidecca canal was a real treat. Kitchen and bathrooms had all we needed for convenience and the service from our rep from Truly Venice was excellent. Note that the Dosoduro is a quiet neighbourhood and you are a boat ride or a walk over the academia bridge. But we liked that! We shall stay here again.

“Open the curtains and...wow!” To arrive at your front door by water taxi direct from the airport is a great way to start a break at Dogaressa. To open the curtains on your first morning is just unbelievable; gondoliers preparing their boats for a day's work against the backdrop of the Santa Maria della Salute- the church so close that you can almost reach out and touch it. To landward as well the location is wonderful, seconds from a main shopping street and minutes from San Marco, yet quiet and hidden away. The apartment is spacious although don't expect too many mod-cons. Would I recommend this property to lovers of Venice? Absolutely!

“Perfect Venice” The Biennale was the perfect place to stay for my small family this Summer. It had the rare combination of qualities; open, airy, quiet, but close to everything, a large terrace overlooking a tranquil canal with a beautiful garden across it. The apartment was filled with original art, a good collection of books, comfortable couches and a big dining table inside and out to be able to spread out and get comfortable after a long day of sight-seeing. The kitchen was a bit tight and was a little short on cooking implements, so we ate out mostly, although enjoyed breakfast in every day. The beds were very comfortable and for a week we felt not like tourists, but like we were living in Venice.

“This is a lovely apartment with amazing views of the Grand Canal” I took my daughter and two of my granddaughters to Venice for a week's stay at the Guggenheim apartment. We had space for everyone, had a very comfortable place to relax and rejuvinate between our sightseeing adventures and enjoyed a fantastic cooking class while there in the small but adequate kitchen. The apartment is very nicely set up, and met all our needs while in Venice. It's convenient location was perfect, the views from the windows amazing and the people we dealt with were very helpful and friendly. We had a great time at the apartment while enjoying our trip to Venice.

“Another amazing holiday in San Felice terrace” Our second visit to this apartment - we were not disappointed - it is so comfortable and has so many extras. The unusual antiques and decor are fascinating. The location is perfect - just off the grand canal for closeness to the sites and the wonderful Rialto fish market and away from the mayhem and noise of august tourist season. Best meal was at Poste Vecchio in Rialto - highly recommended to everyone - an Italian resident told us about it years ago and it never disappoints. The art Biennale was amazing - just go and have an adventure - could be life changing if you have an open mind to modern art. Hated the long queues in San Marco. Loved Serge Baldino's mask shop near Rialto - such a genuine and creative man - dont buy masks from anywhere else. Cant wait to return in 2 years but will avoid July and august.

“What an amazingly wonderful hostess and place!” Nicolette shines with her gracious and warm welcome to Venice. From the moment we walked into her penthouse and saw what an inviting, accommodating home awaited us, we could have not been more pleased. From the cleanness of the rooms, to the size of the three terraces, to the beverages and snacks waiting in the kitchen for us weary travelers... we truly felt like we had found a gem. Thank you again Nicolette for arranging our first dinner at Di Flore and answering all our questions about Venice... you are one of a kind!
