This is a beautifully refurbished contemporary house set in an old shop - kitchen/diner on ground floor, living room on 1st floor & en suite bedroom on top floor. The finishes and materials are all of high quality and the refurbishment was clearly a Labour of love for the hosts, Love & Paulina. The house is ideally situated for the Giardini during the Biennale, literally only a couple of minutes’ walk away. It’s about half an hour’s walk from the centre of Venice but there are waterbus stops close by. Communication with Paulina was great throughout and there is a comprehensive visitors’ manual. Self checkin was easy enough using a keybox accessed via the street behind the house. No Wi-fi when we were there which may be an issue for some. The style of the house won’t be for everybody but the photos are an accurate reflection of what it’s like. We would definitely stay again.
