Friendly and welcoming perfectly describe Ivo and Annalisa. Their home is lovely, clean and has everything one would need - Ivo even shared his laundry soap for us to use at the corner laundromat. They explained street parking and when we asked, Ivo walked to confirm we were in the correct area. This was very helpful to avoid tickets and to avoid moving our car early Saturday morning for the Outdoor Market.

Welcome food and fruit baskets, milk, bottled water and orange juice for us! Nice kitchen with large table and living area with two sofas, long hallway with side table, coat rack, places for shoes, two bedrooms each with a comfortable double bed and two twin beds, and two bathrooms with good showers. Extra towels and blankets available, and also a charger for cell phones and computers.

They have maps, visitor guides and pamphlets to show where everything is located in Venice and surrounding area. It is a 2 min walk to bus stop across the street and a 15 min ride to Venice. Annalisa showed us the store to buy bus tickets, told us correct bus numbers and how late bus comes back from Venice. She also told us about the water bus for the canal ride once we were on the island, and where to go for tickets and prices. Very, very helpful!

There is a small back yard with eating table and umbrella to use, and gate by street locks for privacy. We enjoyed Casa Clara very much. Your home is all we hoped for and more. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with our family!
