I met my mother and godmother in Italy during my backpacking trip and Nina’s place was perfect for what we needed and wanted! So much more space and privacy than places offered on Venice. Nina keeps the place clean and tidy, and the bonus of having an en-suite with every room is just amazing. The wood details and exposed brick are beautiful and Nina is always available via message for any questions. Nina provides a great welcome and a full book giving you a variety of recommendations and local tips to make your trip special and memorable. Yes it is half an hour from Venice centre but honestly it’s not long in the grand scheme of things for what you are getting, and your money goes so much further. The garden is a definite bonus and a great way to spend your evening with a bottle of wine - or Limoncello in my case. We visited Venice and Burano and Murano and then also journeyed to Verona, Padua & Treviso (home of Prosecco) per Nina’s recommendations and they were so amazing! Far Less crowded and gave you time to really enjoy the day, and staying with Nina transport is so easily accessible as so close to Mestre centre. We ate at numerous restaurants in Mestre which were in the book and they were all fantastic! Including squid ink burgers and amazing seafood platters.
I cannot recommend Nina’s place enough for an amazing trip to Venice!
