Alice's home is absolutely wonderful--we felt like we had our own mini-palace! The soaring ceilings and large rooms on the first floor gave us plenty of room, with the gathering areas had enough seating for all. The rooms on the second floor were very private and cozy. All beds were comfortable, the showers were hot, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We really appreciated having a computer available as well--very helpful in planning our days.
The location is perfect--it is in a local neighborhood, but very close (5 minutes walking) to both vaporettos and the Rialto bridge. The neighborhood has several good restaurants and small shops for wine, cheese, etc.
Alice was a fabulous host, providing many recommendations that were very helpful. We hope to return to her home soon! Thank you Alice!
