Maria and Augusto were perfect hosts, very welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive. We very much appreciated the fruit bowl , fresh basil, butter , jam etc on arrival. The apartment occupies a beautiful building in a quiet neighbourhood which is well located for the vaporetto stop and the beach. The garden is a delightful spot for al fresco dining. All in all the apartment was an ideal base for our holiday combining sightseeing in Venice with relaxation on the Lido.
