This was an excellent place to stay! Nicola and a lady (forgot her name!) were excellent hosts. They allowed us to check in early, met us at the house, and gave us a tour of their beautiful, huge, new place, complete with pomegranate and olive trees and a cute turtle in the yard. The entire house was very clean and had the essentials - towels, soap, even a hair dryer. We had cars, and it was an easy 15 minute drive to get to downtown Venice as well as the airport from the house. Easy check out process as well. It was perfect; I wish we were going to stay here longer!
