Absolutely PERFECT stay! Ilaria’s place truly goes above and beyond. They were flexible with check in since we were arriving early, gave us instructions for getting to the place easily, and met us at the door with cold Italian wine! The place was clean, comfortable, and absolutely perfect for our family of 5. The local restaurant recommendations were incredible, and the hostess walked us through every detail from how to get our bus tickets to fun local events. The bus stop was conveniently located right outside the door- hop right on and 15 minutes later you’re in Venice! Way worth the ride to be away from the hustle and bustle, Menstre was peaceful and made it easy to get to sleep! We enjoyed feeling like we were in a local town, away from the tourists. We also enjoyed the close proximity to the train station- much better then having to drag suitcases across all those bridges in Venice. Everything was perfect with this stay!
