This is the largest of the Giudecca Mare apartments available to rent, a wonderful spacious top (second) floor apartment with uninterrupted and panoramic views of the lagoon and a terrace from which to enjoy them... from early morning autumn mists to glistening summer sun and divine sunsets... The quality of light changes throughout the day – the silvery delicate early morning light becomes warmer as south light streams into the living room and later it's followed by the apricot glow of the setting sun.....

The owners have chosen key designer pieces to complement the ultra modern and contemporary style of the apartment, selecting furnishing and upholstery fabrics from Fox Linton and Jim Thomson silks, as well as a sofa and chairs from the American designer John Hutton, all chosen particularly with comfort and elegance in mind. The terrace is simply divine, whether for lounging with a good book or dining al fresco on fish caught  in the lagoon, home produced vegetables and the local prosecco.....

The entrance hall leads both to the main living area and to the 'zona notte' where there are three bedrooms, one en suite shower room and a main bathroom with tub and shower. The living area has an open plan kitchen area, making entertaining a relaxing affair. Sliding doors from the living area access onto the terrace which has an awning, dining table and chairs as well as recliners and Lloyd Loom chairs.

The two principal bedrooms have identical Vico Magistretti double beds (170cm wide) with high quality comfortable mattresses, while the third bedroom/study makes a generous single room. There is also a desk so that the room can be used as a quiet study. The main bedroom has an en suite shower room while the second bedroom and the third bedroom/study share a main bathroom.

The apartment has marble terrazzo flooring throughout, with pale oak in the bedrooms.

There is no lift.

Our comment: this is a superb apartment for four people who wish to relax, to enjoy Venice in "home from home" style surroundings. It is both stylish and contemporary with a small but well equipped kitchen. The terrace is comfortable and with its awning creates a sense of an outdoor room.

Facilities: Air conditioning, underfloor central heating, oven, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, TV, DVD, CD player. Electric security blinds
