The Ici house is in a quiet, residential area of Murano but the main area of shops is reached within a 1-2 minute walk; this is ideal for a peaceful and relaxed stay. There are waterbus stops within a few minutes walk that will take you to Venice and the Lido.
The house is lovely - creatively and uniquely decorated and has a lovely 'non-corporate' feel. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The garden is delightful and although the weather was not the best when we stayed, we still sat out in the garden for quite a bit as it was charming.
Chantal, although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting her, was an excellent host. She responded to queries very quickly and allowed us a late checkout - which was fantastic has it allowed us a few more hours of wondering around Murano until we had to leave for the airport.
My colleague and I were attending a conference on the Lido and this was an ideal base for us. I would heartily recommend Ici for business trips, family holidays and groups of friends having a break in the area of Venice. Murano is quieter and more relaxed than Venice, with great character and great transport links to Venice, the airport and other surrounding areas.
