It doesnt get much better than this in terms of friendliness, hospitality, warmth, and makung you feel at home with family. Luca is great at communicating and very nice, but the gem of the household is Luca's bella mamma Marisa! My god what a beautiful person! The kind you want to meet and have in your life! She greeted my parents and me outside. She was attentively waiting for our arrival and helped my parents and me with the luggage and right away put us at ease with her warmth. She had a delicious very yummy torts waiting for us and took the time to explain everything step by step. I did my homework and read everything beforehand too though plus I speak some Italiano. Lastly, I was so happy to see Signora Marisa once more on our departure. I cant speak highly enough of her. I already love Venice, but now more and my parents finally understand why! We were celebrating their pre 50 th anniversary and it was a dream come true! The house is truly unique, rustic and beautiful. The view lovely with a small view from the bedroom window to the side f the canal or you can go sit there since it's so close. The kitchen is fully equipped for espresso, tea, fridge, washer, cooking ( we didnt) and the bathroom lovely and clean. Impeccable apt. Doesnt get much better. 10s! Bed were so comfy too and very little noise. Sad to leave, but I know Ive gained a friend in Italy as they have in Los Angeles. ❤❤❤
