We had a great time on Murano at Paolo's house - it's a real gem, very classy with lots of Venetian pictures and Murano glass. Paolo was the perfect host - messaged to help us get to Murano, met us off the boat then took us to the house. Found the quietness of the island the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Venice itself. We bought 48 hour water bus passes for 30 euros which allowed us to travel at will - otherwise 7.50 euros per trip is a bit steep. Just a 25 minute water bus ride from Venezia Santa Lucia railway station. Overall, a great place for our family of five to stay.
