My wife and I had only a few days to spend in Venice seeing the Biennale and as much art and food as we could pack in into 4 days. Alessandro and Ca 'Barba played a major role in making that possible. Alessandro is an endless and passionate fountain of knowledge on all things Venetian. Helped us figure out everything. From getting around town, to a wonderful breakfast spread and help and advice on restaurants and reservations. The place itself is perfectly located, quiet and clean for seeing Venice on the fly. And given the high price of lodging at the last minute during the Biennale (or probably anytime), a great deal. We will definitely both return to and direct friends to check out Ca 'Barba.
