Claudia's house is a perfect place for a stay in Venice. For us in December it was cosy and warm (good underfloor heating) with a high standard of modern furnishings, particularly the bathroom. In the summer I'm sure the garden would be a perfect sanctuary as well. The photos are very accurate as to the quality of the house. We had a perfect check in and also, importantly for us, we were able to request a late check out on the day we left, which meant we could leave our luggage in the house until nearer the time of our flight, which was later in the day. Communication was easy and Claudia and Federico were very responsive. The area is a great one from which to explore all corners of Venice and within easy reach of good bars and restaurants. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay.
