Maria's hospitality was impeccable! We were warmly greeted by her and her daughter as they waited for us even with our unexpected delay at the airport. We had candles lite throughout the place when we arrived plus cold champage. During the stay she was quick to respond with questions about getting around in Venice and anything we needed. Her place is close distance to all the major Venice sites and I would definitely stay here the next time in Venice. Highly recommended for couples wanting a nice romantic getaway with a superb host!
