What an exceptional experience. Marika and her mum Karin were exceptional hosts. Very warm and welcoming and quick with recommendations to help you craft your time in Venice. Casa Alma is the perfect place to stay in Venice. Very convenient for the Biennale, but only a short walk to the main tourist sites - I would highly recommend the location over those in the more crowded areas. Everything felt sparkling and new. We will return to Venice and to Casa Alma!
