Our stay in Venice at Valentina's flat far exceeded our expectations. Valentina's warm, thoughtful & helpful welcome was much appreciated as we arrived in exceptionally bad weather. Luckily the storm cleared up that evening and our stay was perfect. The flat is extremely comfortable and elegantly designed. All of the furnishings were of high quality and locally inspired - no Ikea to be spotted anywhere... The glassware, towels, kitchen appliances, bath, bedding were excellent. The location was perfect. We were able to explore all of Venice but especially enjoyed returning to this neighborhood as we felt the restaurant choices were better than near the more touristy areas. It was also more quiet here. We would absolutely love to stay at Valentina's again on our next visit to Venice. Highly recommend!!!
