Just returned from Venice - our stay at Matilde's home was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was beautiful, spacious, spotless and far exceeded our expectations. We have been to Venice before but stayed in Hotels - staying at Matilde’s place was like being a local - you get to stay in a neighborhood with little shops and restaurants that were each unique and welcoming. Matilde as your host is like having a personal tour guide - she helped with our Transportation to and from the train station and the airport and had great recommendations for tours and restaurants. The water taxis comes right to the back door of her palace- no walking thru the streets with all your luggage.
We love Venice- we loved our stay at Matilde’s home and when we return to Venice we will stay there again.
