Francesco was a fantastic host with a lovely home. Every morning we would talk to him about our plans for the day and he would give us tips and tell us a little history about Venice. Lido is a quiet island just outside of Venice, which made it a great place to retreat to after a long day among the tourist in Venice. The house is only a ten min walk from the boats that take you to Venice and it is only about a 10 min ride to the first stop in Venice. Overall we had a wonderful experience and definitely suggest it to other travelers.
