We were met at Colonna boat station by Andrea and then taken to Navagero boat station, the apartment then being only 1 minute's walk on the flat so very easy with the luggage. The apartments are very secure, in their own locked garden, the location being AMAZING on the edge of the lagoon, so very quiet, relaxing and peaceful! Fabio, Andrea and the family were very welcoming, the perfect hosts, always available with local knowledge, pity that our week passed so very quickly. There is so much to see and do, the visit to Fabio's furnace was the icing on the cake! The apartment was so beautiful and comfortable, exactly as the pictures, with everything we needed for our stay, even a shopping trolley to bring our provisions back from the Co-op supermarket, which was a lovely 10 minute walk, or a 2 minute boat-ride to the next station. The "Osteria" located behind the supermarket is also the best place to purchase draft Prosecco and wines from 2 - 4 euros per litre, well worth a visit. Murano is a short boat ride from Venice, with boats running 24 hours a day in summer, we recommend an evening trip on the Vaporetto along the Grand Canal, the lights are so pretty! Also from Murano, it is very convenient for visiting Burano, Torcello and the Lido islands, the weekly ticket was amazing value with unlimited journeys on the ACTV Vaporetto services, a separate ticket being required on the Alilaguna service from the airport to Murano. We highly recommend Lagoon Suites as being THE perfect location to visit Venice! Our grateful thanks to the Fornasier family for a wonderful week!!
