We had a magical time in Venice - made all the more special by Ugos warm welcome and gorgeous flat. My daughters loved it and instantly said it would be the perfect place to have when they grew up! Everything was as described and although it was close to many bars and cafés it was in a secluded spot that gave us privacy and quiet. Wifi was fast and worked really well particularly for a family who had all the gadgets to hand. It was in a great position close to the lively square and only a few minutes walk to the delightful shops in San Barnaba and to the vaporetto stop. There were many beautiful canals and back alleys which we thought much nicer than the main tourist spots. Ugo answered all our questions and made sure we knew how everything worked and where to find good places to eat. We did a gondola ride - highly recommended in the local area as less crowded and more authentic experience. It was our first time on Venice and beat Rome and Florence for a brilliant time. Thank you Ugo for sharing your lovely place which being away from the crowds made us feel like we knew the real Venice! We will be back!
