My parents stayed at Casa Clara for two nights and their experience could not have been better. When asked how they would rate the place and Ivo and Anna from 1 to 10, they answered 12 or 13! The house is magnificent, in a very nice area only a few blocks from Mestre train station. You can take the bus to Venezia right across the street. Ivo and his wife are really warm and went out of their way to help my parents. They picked them up close to the station and took them to Casa Clara even when it was within walking distance, and then they took them to the airport at an exceptionally low fare and helped with the luggage. Casa Clara is PERFECT and you will feel better there than at your place! My parents did not want to leave. Thank you Ivo and Annalisa!
