Ombra's place is the ideal bolt hole to explore Venice: easily reached from the airport, in a beautiful location, an easy and marvellous walk to the sights but in a quiet area away from the madding crowd of San Marco and the Rialto. Ombra very kindly made a restaurant reservation for us at a place around the corner, that did great fish dishes. There is also a bakery at the bottom of the stairs for getting breakfast. Thoroughly recommend!
