Adriano and Barbara were exceptional hosts, and their apartment was spectacular – perfect location (away from crowds and very quiet), modern décor, and fully equipped with everything you would need.

Adriano and Barbara were incredibly responsive to all of our questions leading up to our arrival, and they were kind enough to meet us at the train station to escort us to the apartment. After a long travel day, we were very appreciative of how easy our hosts made our arrival.

Our hosts walked us through the apartment to ensure we were comfortable with where everything was and how everything worked, and then they pulled out a map of Venice and helped us get our bearing on their beautiful city. They offered fabulous suggestions of places to go for ice cream, lunch, and dinner, and they gave us pointers on how to get around the city via it’s water taxis. Additionally, they marked off main attractions that we were interested in seeing, and also gave us a few other ideas of things to see and do that we weren’t aware existed.

As if our hosts’ hospitality and invaluable assistance wasn’t enough, they left us a fridge and pantry full of food, and a bottle of wine! We are embarrassed to say that we ate just about everything our hosts left for us – cheese, prosciutto, eggs, bread, coffee, milk, juice – the list goes on!

Our hosts played a monumental part in the success, enjoyment, and memorable experience of our visit to Venice, and when we return, we won’t stay anywhere else. Adriano and Barbara set the bar high.
