If you truly love Venice and respect its history and culture, there is no better place to stay than Giorgio's place. This is an authentic Venetian home situated in an area where you can be away from the crowds and obnoxious tour groups from other parts of the city. Check in was excellent and the space itself is gorgeous with wonderful art, decor and a stunning view of the lagoon and Guidecca Island across the way. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance and it's a short jaunt to Accedemia Bridge so you can connect to San Marco area. I truly loved the stay at Giorgio's and recommend it to anyone who comes to Venice. When I come back, I know where I'll be staying.
