My husband and I stayed at Mauro's place for two nights. Mauro and his wife are perfect hosts. Kind, welcoming, helpful and they also have a cute dog- Lula. Their place is spotless clean, and the breakfast was just perfect for the two of us. It takes some 15/20 minutes to Venice by bus, but it is very easy and interesting ride, and the bus brings you exactly where you need to be to start exploring Venice. Thanks to Mauro's perfect instructions we enjoyed Venice even more as he gave us very useful tips. I only hope we will come again! Grazie mille!!!!
