Valentino's home in Giudecca was a perfect location for our party of 5. Away from the main island, it provided us a much needed escape from the heat and crowds. We enjoyed the local spots on Giudecca and became regulars at Majer. The view of the lagoon from the window seat was spectacular. There was always something new to see. We were easily able to get around to the other islands via the Water Bus. Valentino was very thorough with his directions to his place, as well as, suggestions on places to eat and visit. There was a notebook filled with very helpful information about his place and the surrounding area. A great spot.
