Peaceful and authentic, a real contrast to the tourist clamour of the central drag. We loved watching the boats glide right past the window. Fantastic restaurant round the corner called Vecia Cavana. We went cycling on the Lido for 7 euros each and took a picnic. Word of warning: you really DO have to be taken to the apartment by Paola or Elise, Google has no chance in these mazelike streets. We missed each other at the Fondemente Nov. port and a comedy of errors ensued! It all worked out in the end though and we had a great holiday.
