Murano is a great option to stay as its 15 mins from Venice on the ferry and it's quieter and more authentic than Venice itself. Andrea met us at the ferry stop and brought us to the villa and we were thrilled with it. The decor was gorgeous and all the natural light, huge windows that opened up and the high ceilings really made it a lovely place to relax. Sitting outside watching and waving at the ferrys and boats passing by was great fun. We were lucky to get a tour of Fabios glass studio and his chandeliers are truly amazing.
