We spent a lovely week end in Silvia's B&b , although we met Silvia only at our arrival ( she was so kind to pick us up at the vaporetto station) as she had to work during the week end, her fabulous mother has been a great host, not only preparing a very good breakfast but also chatting and giving us advices on what to do and see. Her beautiful cats Matu and Sardina made the stay even funnier! The room itself is huge, clean and full of light, maybe a bit charmeless or without distinctive features, but the neighbourhood makes you feel a real Venetian and not a tourist and this is priceless, considering than in 15 minutes you are in the heart of San Marco nonetheless! Highly recommended for a true experience of Venice !
