Alessandro made us feel immediately welcome by feeding us an excellent pumpkin risotto that he had just made. ( Although I think mine is better :) ) He showed us a map of Venice with some must sees and restaurant recommendations , many of which we followed and were never disappointed. He is a Renaissance guy and knows how to make you feel at home. Breakfast was over the and kept you gogin until mid afternoon. Location is excellent as you can get there easily from train station.
