Spent two nights with girlfriend, for the Biennale d'Arte. Francesca is marvelous: very sweet and helpful, and very professional at the same time. Speaks great English and is very communicative. Away from the crowded and touristicly overloaded "central" Venice, the island of Giudecca is very peaceful and beautiful. Two closest vaporetto stops SACCA FISOLA and PALANCA are very close to the Train Station and Piazzale Roma and just a few stops away from San Marco and the Giardini. Wonderful breakfast and fantastic cappuccino served by Francesca in the garden. Great place - we'll be back!
