The location for this home was perfect for our first night in Italy. It was quiet, clean (I am very picky about cleanliness) and Elettra was absolutely wonderful in her communication and check in. A bottle of wine and snacks were provided for us when we arrived. We had been traveling for over 24 hours so it was so appreciated! We loved having a private patio in back where we could relax and also dry out our clothes (having a washing machine in the unit was a huge plus for us!) The home was updated and we immediately felt right at home. The beds were comfortable, we had plenty of linens and supplies. We loved opening the windows in the morning to hear the local residents start their day. We felt like part of the community, which is what I personally loved. I was looking for a place more submersed in the community and not so "touristy". This was it!!!
The island of Murano is quaint and very friendly. The most friendly people we came into contact with during our entire trip! I do suggest that if you want to explore the shops and island you need to do so early because the island closes early. I wish we would have spent the day exploring Murano and then going into Venice later. I loved that the island had everything we needed. There was a market nearby where we bought some snacks and the local shops where we bought our breakfast pastries in the morning. We ate dinner both nights on the island and the food was great! I recommend visiting Glenn at Trattoria Ai Vetrai. He was a fabulous waiter, very friendly and he helped me learn basic Italian terms (I was struggling with my pronunciation) The food was amazing too! Lots of fresh fish dishes. Have lunch or dinner there! You won't be disappointed.
I would definitely stay here again. I am very picky and this home exceeded my expectations. Thank you again, Elettra for your hospitality!
