Paolo is very hospitable and caring!!! He sent very detailed instructions on how to get to the island of Burano and how to find his magic house. Paolo is a wonderful organizer. I was pleased to be a guest in his house and grateful for the instructions and advice. We were in cafes and restaurants that Paolo advised, these are great places, wonderful fresh Italian food and seafood. I especially recommend going to the Black cat restaurant, but you have to book a table in advance on their website. The yellow house itself is a very cozy place to live, it is a Museum house, which is filled with paintings, boats, Antiques. The house is decorated with great taste and it has everything you need for life. we were very happy and want to come back again!!!!
