The House of Magnolias was a great little space. Very clean with an adorable kitchen which Isabella had generously stalked with nescafé and breakfast items. The grocery was very nearby. Venice - the island - was quite far away, which made taxi rides expensive, but there is very affordable public transport nearby. The bus system is generally reliable, but be cautious, we were dropped at a stop far from the route one night and told it was the end of the line (which it was not). Luckily, Isobella had provided us with a number for a local taxi service earlier that day and they came promptly when we called. Isobella was always very responsive and helpful. Her hospitality was much appreciated! Thank you, Isabella
