Francesco and Sara made us feel very welcome in their beautiful home! The room was as described with wonderfully tall ceilings, huge windows and comfortable beds. Breakfast was ample: fresh fruit, yogurt, muesli, rolls and fantastic coffee. Our hosts were relaxed yet available to answer any questions. They also provided a sheet with a great list of suggestions for enjoying the Lido, from renting bikes to yoga classes. Internet access was easy (and much better than at a hotel where I stayed later in the trip.) The historical house is in a shady neighborhood only 7 minutes walk from the vaporetto stop, and so had easy access to San Marco and the Biennale. In fact, the other guests were all in Venice for the Biennale so conversation around the breakfast table was all about which exhibits were the best! We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend Francesco's B&B to anyone who would like a quiet and comfortable place to come home to after a day of sight-seeing among the summer crowds in Venice!
