Francesco and his mother are excellent hosts. Lido is a great starting point for exploring Venice, the house is beautiful and there is even a garden with a hammock. There's also a beach close by, where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing in Venice. Going into the centre of Venice is also quite quick and involves a beautiful ride on the waterbus. There's also some nice breakfast included, and there were books available to read as well as brochures for local events. Francesco was helpful, quick to respond and a very interesting person. Would definitely stay here again!
