Francesco is amazing. He's very friendly and thoughtful. His house is so historic and unique with a beautiful garden and lots of interesting decorations. We felt really welcomed and at home when we stayed. Especially when our flight was delayed 6 hours...and ended up arriving at his house at 6am in the morning, updating news with him through the night... He was patient and understanding , great host! He also gave us many local helpful tips. So we tried nice cheap Italian finger food in a nice restaurant and also went to a local music festival, which was fantastic experience for all of us. Lido is quiet and nice environment for escaping from chaos of tourism in Venice. Brilliant place! Strongly recommend that!
