What a find Venice Little Garden has been. Exactly right for escaping from crowds in Venice. Very quiet and secluded in a very fine neighbourhood. Trams, shops, cafe and recycling facilities nearby. Last, but not least, Mara is a very kind, caring host without being intrusive. Exactly right for the independent traveller, though it was clear that she was there if needed. Also, many thanks to Mara's sister who picked me up, showed me around and introduced me to Bepe and her gang of friendly neighbourhood cats! Did I mention the cyclists with umbrellas? Love them! Thank you for everything Mara! I had a fantastic time. I'll be back and won't hesitate to recommend to my friends. Thank you and ciao!
