Staying with Sven is like having your own Venetian historian and guide. As we did not have any plans, we allowed Sven to take us on his boat (Svenicetours mentioned in the listing) to see Venice as many tourists will never see. The two days on Sven’s boat visiting the many “other” islands that make up Venice are too many to mention, but each one was unique. Sven gave us the history and pointed out exclusive details of each. From dinner at a local family restaurant to traveling the Grand Canal, Sven showed us all of Venice. Oh, and the house was wonderful. We were offered access to the whole house, and our room was the quietest room we have ever stayed in, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was in the garden each morning under flowers and grape vines. We will be talking about our visit to Sven’s Bed and Breakfast for a long time. Travelers should be aware that the beaches of Lido are private.
