Our public review of this stay is a copy of the final message that we sent to Roberta & Paolo...........
Hey Paolo- good morning
This is William. I am sorry it has taken so long for me to send you this note. It is not possible to express how much I thank you for helping us get to the train station. When I saw that the vaparetto was closed at giglio, I thought we would miss our train to Milano and our reservation at Teatro alla Scala that night. We had missed la scala reservations twice because of covid which had cost me 800 euro. We sent you a message asking for advice and within 5 minutes you were there,,, guiding us through the streets,,,,, carrying 1/2 our luggage and making sure we got to the station. jsut amazing...
Even before that happened you had become the best ABB host ever: meeting us at the dock, helping us with our luggage, giving us a tour of the neighborhood, taking the time to share your life and experiences in Venice with us. How many tourist go to Torcello; the first inhabited island in the lagoon going back to the 5th century??? The only Rubens in Venice at Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio, what a rare piece in that place. I have been to Venizia twice before but thanks to you this was a great visit that I never expected. We hope to come to Venice again, maybe even next year and we sure hope to see you again. Thanks again, William & Julie
