We stayed at Casa Zucchi over Christmas. It was an absolute delight. We were given very clear instructions on how to reach the home from the train station (we opted for the water taxi which docked right outside) and received a warm and detailed welcome from Antonella, Mariacaterina's mother - complete with maps, restaurant recommendations, and the number for the taxi service. What a treat it was to wake up on Christmas morning overlooking the Grand Canal! Such a beautiful view and still so close to St Mark's Square, boutique shops and interesting bars and restaurants. We would love to stay here again.
