We had a lovely time at Ivana's charming retreat. It was close to the Hilton hotel we had stayed at the first few nights for my business agenda so very convenient. The apartment looked exactly like the photos. Was easy to access and Ivana's welcome packet of information was very helpful. The ability to use the Hilton water shuttle was a big plus!! Such an easy way to get between Giudecca and St. Mark's. The bottle of prosecco in the fridge was such a nice surprise! We enjoyed it once we checked in ... the accommodations were more than enough for the 2 of us. We will be coming back to Ivana's retreat should we ever return to Venice!!
Couple Tips - check out the grocery stores for all of your needs - we got 2 huge bottles of water, 2 bottles of beer, some pasta and chocolates for 6 euros!! Il Cacciatore (restaurant recommended by Ivana) was amazing. We went there 2 times during our trip (they even made us custom dish not on the menu - great service!!).
Thank you, Ivana - we enjoyed our stay!
