Absolutely lovely experience staying in the Pasti's beautiful Venetian house. Private, beautiful, tranquil. It could not have been better. Francesca's mum made us feel like we were her grandchildren - in a good way! Nothing too much trouble for her, even though we couldn't speak any Italian. Our children adored the flat and their bedroom. The smell of jasmine from the garden, the sound of the tennis court, the busking outside on the street and the delicious Pasti family grown wine were some more of the highlights. Top highlight though was Emmanuella (Francesca's mum) - lots of thanks to her for making it so enjoyable.
