Ai Patrizi di Venezia

Unfortunately I do not recommend Ai Patrizi for a couple of reasons. We had an expensive item stolen. We stupidly left it the apartment when we left on our last day. We realised when we got to the airport that we didnt pick it up on the way out and contacted the apartment. They engaged with us but say nothing was found. We 100% know it was left behind and exactly where left it. Prior to this we had problems with mosquitoes. There were lots of mosquitoes in the apartment that hid up in the high raftered ceiling and would keep us awake at night and I have loads of bites. I tried to buy mosquito spray but local places were sold out so be warned. The aircon does not work and it was reading 26 degrees C in the room. There is no contact for assistance or housekeeping. They don't change the towels or do any cleaning during your stay. On the plus side, they are well decorated and located but sadly our experience was not good.

Beautiful and private luxury apartment, complete with kitchen, sitting area/sofa bed, master bedroom and bathroom. This layout provided adequate personal space for our 3 person group - a good value when compared to price of 2 hotel rooms or a hotel suite. Great location, with windows opening onto Campo Manin and surrounded by shopping and restaurants. There also was a small outdoor terrace with table, seating and lounge chairs located just across the hallway from our apartment door, where we enjoyed wine and cheese one evening. No view, except rooftops, pigeons, gulls and sky, but still a pleasant outdoor space to sit and unwind after sightseeing. Some apartments appeared to have private terraces, but ours did not. The building is just a short walk to Rialto docks/Rialto bridge area, making it easy to catch the water bus to move around the city or to go to/from train station or airport. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the docks, so not at all difficult to roll your bags from the dock to the apartment. No hills, other than a small bridge, and the building has an elevator. Communication with Davide, our host, was responsive and clear from day of booking to day of checkout, making our after-hours check-in simple and stress-free. We would definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Venice!
