We spent a wonderful week at Casa Pusterla with our two young children. We had never been to Sant'Elena, their neighborhood, which must be the greenest and most peaceful in all of Venice. It has a huge playground, soccer field, etc., as well as bars, at least one fabulous restaurant (Ostaria da Pampo), small grocery stores, etc. And all with no cars! It feels like a land out of time. Worked perfectly for a quick trip to the beach on the Lido, and visiting the city center was just a few stops on a pleasant vaporetto. The space is perfect. Ground floor with ample spaces inside and out. Loved it!
