Sylvia's mum Fiorella met us when we arrived and was a lovely host. The house has a private area that was great for us. She also cooked us a very nice breakfast on both mornings and helped us use the washing machine and iron. If you're looking for a true venetian experience this is it. However, the wifi didn't work at all for us and it was quite challenging to carry our suitcases up the stairs. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Silvia and Fiorella for a wonderful stay!
