We had a lovely time staying in Francesco's family house while we visited the Biennale. There are three rooms and everyone else was there for the opening week of the Biennale too, so we all had things in common and it was a friendly environment at breakfast. The location is great, very close to the vaporetto stop and the central shopping area of Lido with loads of eateries and shops nearby. A great, quiet, tranquil spot of calm to come back to after the touristy business of Venice. Super quick and easy to get to the Arsenale and Giardini and only 10 minutes from St Marks. Lovely big room and clean private bathroom. Thanks Francesco and family!
