Dino and his family are most gracious hosts. We were greeted in person and shown around. The gardens are spectacular and relaxing. Staying off of the main Island was really great to get away from the hustle and bustle of all the people. The Venice City Pass is a great value for the transportation a lone.
The apartment was so charming, with antique furniture and a lovely bathroom, which was bigger than the one we have at home. There is a shared kitchen in between the 2 apartments and a grocery store a few minutes walk up the street. If we ever come back to Venice we would stay here again.
