We really enjoyed our stay at Giuseppe's place on Santa Elena. While the location is maybe a bit too far away from the center when you are only one day in town, we had 4 wonderful and relaxing days there, enjoyed the calm and green area, and both the walk into town and the few minutes by boat to Lido for a beach day. As we are travelling with a 3 year old, we appreciated the playgroubd close by (something rare in Venice), and a 2nd one on the way into town. Giuseppe and his family were very helpful, picked us up at the Vaporetto and changed our check out time according to our preference. We really enjoyed our time!
