Giovanna is such a welcoming and friendly host, from the minute she meets you off the waterbus on arrival. Her sparkling clean apartment is in a central location and we could easily walk from it to all parts of the island. The little terrace is a joy and we sat there each day. We can also recommend going on a private tour of the island with Giovanna. She is so knowledgeable about the island and delivers information in an engaging manner with excellent English. Please ask her for tips on the best places to eat, best gondola trips etc as her recommendations are spot on. We have fallen in love with Venice and would not hesitate to return to Giovanna’s apartment.
