Absolutely Wonderful location away from the San Marcos crowds! As promised, Paolo was gracious and helpful upon our arrival in Venice. The location is ABSOLUTELY AS PROMISED, literally right across the Grand Canal from Venice (proper) and the San Marcos Square stop is only (2) Vaporetto stops away! Thank you Paolo for your gracious hospitality in greeting us and welcoming us to your beautiful city. My wife and I were traveling together and after a full day at various stops in the main islands of Venice, it was nice to “get away from it all” via a 5-10 minute boat ride across the Grand Canal to Giudecca. Book this place early as it is a real GEM of a property!
