We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ivana's charming retreat in Venice. It is a beautifully appointed, well equipped, and comfortable apartment with amazing views over the water. Ivana was a pleasure to deal with, providing detailed arrival and location information, a kitchen stocked with essentials, as well as a welcome bottle of prosecco. The location on Giudecca was perfect, offering a quiet and calm introduction to central Venice, which is easily accessible by a short boat ride from the Molina Stucky Hilton, right next door. At the Hilton, there is also a rooftop bar offering the best views of Venice. We enjoyed wine and fantastic sunsets there both nights of our stay at Ivana's apartment. Would recommend this retreat to anyone wishing to visit Venice. Guidecca is very pleasant, offering much Venetian character and beauty without the crowds.
