This is a perfect retreat for a family or several couples to enjoy. Elena is a most gracious and thoughtful host. There is a nice entry foyer to allow for luggage to be stored if you arrive early or need to leave late. The home is roomy and colorful, filled with art her husband painted. We enjoyed the views of the canal from the living room and 2 bedroomsand all sat there to talk and listen to the people walking by. The third bedroom has a view overlooking the pretty garden.
The living space was plenty big to accommodate our group of 4 adults and 3 teens. We especially loved the garden as a private outdoor space.
From this location you really can walk anywhere or take a quick walk to the train or vaparetto stops. We used a porter service to take 7 heavy suitcases over the bridge to the train and it was quite easy, ( Elena made the arrangements for us) and it was well worth it.
When we arrived there were freshly. Baked cookies, waters and coffee all waiting for us. When we left Elena made sure we had a thoughtful gift to take with us to remember this wonderful trip.
When we return to Venice we will certainly return to stay with Elena!
