When my family and I arrived, Francesca brought us to the house and gave us a full detailed rundown of the house. Most importantly, she gave us pointers on how to navigate the fish-shaped maze that is Venice.

The recommendations( eg: restaurants) and tips (eg: where to get museum tickets) provided by her prior to the trip definitely helped to smoothen the planning process for my family and I.

Its definitely a pity that we did not manage to meet Francesca before our departure. But her hospitality and thoughtfulness can be felt through her responsiveness in her communication and the house.

Navigating Venice can be confusing and tiring. But a cosy and thoughtful house makes the whole trip less daunting and more exciting.

The house has everything a family, on vacation, needs and more. Its clean, spacious, strategically located and thoughtful ( there were juice, coffee and biscuits prepared when we arrived. Additionally, there were travel guide books for us to refer to).

Everything that is said about how wonderful the house and Francesca are is all true. It felt like a second home to us.
