Venice - Luxury Apartments with Hotel Services - by Jill

Undoubtedly the most luxurious serviced apartment complex in Venice (and probably the only one!) We had the pleasure of staying there for the weekend in the apartment "Bucintoro", a two bedroom, 1 & half bath apartment on the fifth floor of this restored grain mill on the island of Giudecca. This apartment towers over Venice with the most beautiful views over Dorsoduro and the Giudecca canal. There are 8 apartments available of different sizes available for rental, but it's the daily services that I found unique for an Italian apartment complex, such as daily linen and towel change, daily cleaning and a fully stocked fridge of juice and water and breakfast items that is restocked daily is truly unique for Italy. The kitchens have quality appliances such as as espresso machines that allow you to make a capuccino for breakfast whilst watching boats on the canal in the morning, croissants can be heated up in the oven and sliced bread is left each day to toast. The view is out of this world, with luxury passenger liners, vaporettos and other small boats passing all throughout the day.
