I am not sure what we enjoyed more, Venice or staying at the Villa Frari in Campiello. It was a pleasure to meet our hosts personally and receive a much appreciated tour of the house. We truly felt welcomed to Venice and into their home.
The house is wonderfully situated in a quiet neighborhood , convenient to transit, the museums, and attractions, but the immediate area is more residential and free from the crowds. There is a great grocery store close by, also several cafes and restaurants. It was wonderful to come home after a day of exploring and touring, and relax. With the windows open, there is no shortage of breezes to keep the place cool and at night the air conditioning was perfect. Our week long stay, was divided between relaxing at home, cooking, eating at the table, and all the usual tourist agendas and this was the perfect choice.
Keep in mind, you are staying in an ancient city, and in an 18th century home, so you have to embrace the quirks. The WiFi has a little difficulty getting through the stone walls to the far corners of the spacious house, so you have to work with this house. That said, embrace the house, and it will embrace you! We absolutely loved staying at the Villa Frari and thank Simona for sharing it with us.
