From the moment you step into the villa, you feel like you are transformed into an instant Venetian local. It is tastefully decorated and was very comfortable for four adults (two couples). We greatly enjoyed sipping prosecco and watching the gondolas pass by the window...what a treat. The location is also perfect; right on the grand canal with a courtyard that opens onto a stretch of shops and restaurants also near a conveniently located grocery store.
Regarding our host, Stefano, he is fantastic! He arranged transportation directly to the dock outside of the villa and greeted us upon our arrival. He recommended restaurants and made reservations for us too. He couldn't have been more helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries. FYI, this was our fifth trip to Venice and this was by far one of our favorite places/experiences we stayed. We highly recommend it.
