Description Capricciosa: Venice

Climbing the steps of Capricciosa’s tower, we were ill-prepared for what we were about to see. It’s the kind of view you’d think unrealistic if you saw it in a film – the grand canal stretches along the waterfront to St. Mark’s Square and beyond. If we’re being honest, the flat isn’t perfect. The unusual layout takes a while to get your head around, and the old-fashioned decorations won’t do it for everyone, but that’s not really here nor there. It’s all about that view.

Home truths:
*You'll have to take the stairs to the second floor of the building to reach the flat, and once inside, the space is laid out over three floors
*As you might expect in an old place, we came across a few signs of wear and tear
*The sloped ceiling in the kitchen could be a bit of an annoyance for taller people
