Stay here!!!! Ivonne is the most welcoming, sweetest host. While English is a struggle, that does not prevent a smooth check in. Communication happens in various forms. Staying in Venice with Ivonne as our host made the stay that much more enjoyable. The house is beautiful and the terrace alone is worth staying for. If you want to feel cozy in a home away from home, stay with Ivonne. Breakfast in the mornings was like sitting down to breakfast with your own grandmother taking care of you. Not a lot of people ever get to see the inside of the homes in Venice. My husband and I loved coming back to a home rather than a hotel while in Venice. We hope to return some day.
