Piero Silvia made it feel as if we were visiting family in Venice. When we did not see the B&B sign and thought we were in the wrong place, Silvia came to find us. Later in the evening Silvia saw us looking at an outside menu at a local restaurant and came over and told the staff to treat us well and they treated us like old family friends. The flat is not large or luxurious but it was perfect for a family. The neighborhood is very family friendly. We found Venice is a early to bed early to rise culture so it is very quiet at night at this location but people do rise early. We loved to take walks later in the evening when most of the tourists left the area and exploring the areas behind the flat that were everyday Venice and not tourist areas. We would definitely stay here again.
