Goodness! Where to start? Every now and then you stumble across a little gem on Airbnb.
This is one of those places.
Less than 10 minutes drive/bus ride from the airport but with zero noise of planes, you enter into a home with glass walls front and back letting your eyes wander out over beautiful farmland.
Frederica and Davide are exceptional hosts. Warm, engaging and with a wonderful warm sense of humour. Their home is beyond sparkling clean. I couldn’t give a 6/5 but would have done so if I could! Frederica goes out of her way to ensure every guest is welcomed and cared for and is phenomenally quick to reply to queries.
I was worried it would be too remote or that getting into Venice would be a hassle.
Far from it. The bus stop is just by the end of the lane and within 30 minutes I was staring open mouthed at the grand Canal.
This might actually be the perfect location. Completely away from tourists, quick access to the spaces you want to see, huge skies at night and utter silence in the early hours when you just become aware of the birds waking up.
I’ve already booked to come back! I can not imagine anyone regretting booking here unless they would rather have a grubby, over priced tourist trap 15 minutes closer!
It was bliss. I can not thank D and F enough for making me feel so very welcome (and their little pussy cat is adorable!)
