Stella Marina is the most perfect apartment I could have ever dreamed of. I knew I wanted to stay on Giudecca, because of the crowds in Venice. And with four children, it was just so much more relaxed. They could play outside and comfortably walk the streets with their little remote control cars on the way to incredible dinners. (shout out to Pizzeria Botti! Wow.) I suggest Giudecca always, and this trip totally confirmed that it is the perfect way to explore Venice. And our apartment at Stella Marina was truly incredible. It is far-above standards for Americans. Aside from being perfectly located, it is: modern, super clean, comfortable, well-infrastructured, quiet, with great bathrooms and appliances, and extremely comfortable beds. 'Travel' is my profession and I've stayed in several apartments and luxury hotels all over the world, but this (especially with four french children!) was one of my most comfortable holidays to date. The value for the money is very, very good. Cristina is an incredible host as well. Everything was absolutely seamless, simple and quick: deciding, paying, checking in and checking out. And perhaps it sounds silly, but I must applaud her for having a GREAT hairdryer in the flat as well! On our first night, we began to imagine what other friends and family we can return with, knowing Cristina has a few apartments in Stella Marina. You cannot go wrong staying here. And I don't think you could do any better elsewhere. If this apartment is free on your dates: book it!!! And if it's not, you might consider to change your dates! :) merci beaucoup Cristina! A bientôt!
