Casa Verde and Veronica are as delightful, warm and relaxed as each other. I almost felt that my quest to become Italian might actually come true as I wandered around this most charming island of Venice, shopped at the local Frutta e Vedura (fruit and vegetables) where every piece of produce is five star in taste, colour and scent. Then there’s the local delicatessen where you can buy fresh bread and home made gnocchi while the store owners very patiently allow you to attempt your Bella Lingua in italiano. Even the post office had its sense of italian warmth mixed with drama. Great local restaurants. A gentle breeze flows through this town and it’s people. Gold stars all round, Gracie Mille
