Dino is an inspirational host who met us at the quayside and helped us with our luggage through the heavily flooded streets to the flat - carrying one suitcase on his head! His friendly and helpful manner throughout our stay was wonderful and the flat is a beautiful and charming place. We enjoyed our time in Venice, but felt that the island of Giudecca had great character and style and we spent a lot of time exploring it. Please don’t overlook it’s quiet charm!
