We just spent two incredible nights at Massimo's beautiful, spacious and well appointed home. We were 4 adults and 4 children (aged 10, 8, 7 and 4), and we all had plenty of space. The children's games were great- thank you so much for sharing! The location was ideal, as the home is situated in a beautiful and historically important plaza, minutes away (5 minutes!) from St. Mark's square.
Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby! I highly recommend ice cream at La Mela Verde, and for a typical Venetian restaurant that is affordable: Cantina Do Spade.
Massimo has a DVD called Francesco's Venice which I also highly recommend watching your first night there- it provides a wonderful history of an amazing place.
Dealing with Massimo and the agency was wonderful- super prompt responses and great recommendations for making the most of your stay. Highly recommend!!!
