My family and I (including my 7 & 10 year old girls) cannot say enough about Paolo's beautiful home and his superb attention to detail. He is not only a fabulous host who takes time to make sure your arrival is smooth, but will also walk you around the neighborhood to show you where the supermarket is as well as some of his favorite places to eat. His home is immaculate with every possible amenity you may need down to toothpaste and umbrellas (a rare thing).
His wife is an interior designer and that was very evident in the decor and feel of the space. She created an environment unmatched by many 5 star hotels. Everything was perfect about this place, including location, and if we are ever back in Venice we can only hope Paolo's home is still available as a rental.

My daughters want to add that they loved the window ledges so they could watch the gondolas go by...and they especially loved the fact that there were pillows for the windows so they could sit in style!
