Venice-Adriatic Queen:
Venice took many centuries to develop. The nucleus of the original settlement was in the area of today’s Rialto district. A network of canals was planned and the earth the builders dug up, was used to strengthen the islands of the lagoon. The Grand Canal and the innumerable “rii” (lesser canals) of Venice, which by means of 400 bridges, link over 118 islets to each other today came into being over the centuries: tree-trunks were tightly bound together and used to consolidate the muddy little islands, creating the foundations of the houses and palaces. When Venice first appears, it looks like a dream-city, a gleaming splendid vision rising from the waters of the lagoon. Its delicate beauty changes with the seasons and unfold countless treasures: historical places, natural beauties, art, the traditional hospitality and kindness of the people all make it a truly unique place.

Loved our stay at Enrico's. we are 2 70+ visitors and the following information may be useful to other older tourists. San Stae vaporetto stop is on the number 1 route which is the most useful for tourists BUT it is also on the night bus route so if you are enjoying yourself in Venice you need never worry about getting home easily.The area has lots of food shops, but the nearest one (2 minutes for me) provided everything ttat we needed, and was excellent. Previously in Venice we have stayed in hotels and lodging houses, but after this visit we feel an apartment is ideal - just shopping improves our Italian - and as for Italian television!!
The apartment was just fine, everything worked, it was spacious,comfortable with intriguing original art work on the walls. I would not hesitate to recommend his apartment and the location
