Lucia greeted us upon a late arrival (driving from Rome) with a home cooked meal. It was simply amazing and thoughtful. We were traveling through Italy for our 25th anniversary in the heat of August. A more welcome arrival we did not experience at any other place.
The location is in a beautiful, neighborhood off the touristy path in Venice, a short vaporetto ride from St. Mark's and the bustle. It felt like you were back in time - beautiful architecture and street setting.
We had an excellent selection of pre-packaged pastries for breakfast and plenty of snacks provided. The bedroom was spacious and marvelously decorated with paintings, some of which were the hostess's own work. Instead of a bed, we slept in a pull-out couch.
Only suggestion - Venice in August is quite warm - a fan in the bedroom would have been helpful.
I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Venice, an amazing hostess and convenient location to touring Venice.
