We had a great time in Venice here!! We got into Venice in the evening (after 8pm) and were greeted by Gianni who got us oriented to our room and house and then recommended a couple of great places to eat! He was helpful and saw how tired we were and the place was very comfortable, clean and exceptionally well thought out --- breakfast in their kitchen was a good start for the day with a cappuccino machine that gets you up and awake! (Be sure and get directions worked out ahead of time with Monica --- who is a wizard-- as it's well worth it and you'll be thrilled to see how close to San Marco Square you are, but tucked away on a little side canal where the gondoliers were actually singing!) Thank you Gianni and Monica ---- Ciao! Karen and Joe
