We can't say enough good things about this place. It is situated near San Marco behind a private gate in a quiet courtyard- quite a relief from all of the crowds in Venice as it even allowed us an opportunity to sit quietly outside with a glass of wine at the end of the day without being overrun with tourists. The furnishings are stunning, the place was immaculately clean, WiFi was fantastic, and the two levels allowed some separation which is always good when traveling with family! We met both Nicola and his brother, Michelangelo. Both were very kind and helpful hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
