The apartment is on the ground floor of the former ballroom in a 19th century Hall. It is owned by an interior and garden designer and has been recently refurbished to a very high standard with underfloor heating in the ensuite shower-room and a limestone floor in the huge kitchen. The style is modern and minimalist and the floors are all blonde wood. The ceilings are 2.4m. French windows open onto sweeping lawns with cedars and yews. There is a table and chairs outside and a communal barbecue.
The two double bedrooms are large and both have ensuites. The owner has a pretty good library with hundreds of books. There is a TV and broadband internet connection (wireless router). I can leave you my Honda Jazz (automatic) car for you to use. A car is vital here (no buses!)
I am an interior and garden designer. I have a dog which will go and stay with friends while you stay here. I have an office/studio here which, I promise you, will be tidy and as invisible as I can make it while you are here. I am a keen photographer and collect paintings (I lived with a painter and writer until he died five years ago) and sculpture. I adore Venice. I go and paint and draw there whenever I can.
