I stayed here with my boyfriend for 2 nights (2,5 days) to have some peace and quiet away from Venice. T
he island is wonderful! It has a great authentic atmosphere: fishernets, fisherboats, fishermen, richly coloured houses. The beach isn't 'pretty pretty' but it is great to enjoy the sea view, have some walks. It was great to cylce along the lagoon-side of the island and through the little villages scattered in the island. In sommer, a lot more is open for food (vegetarians, watch out: mostly fish restaurants). But even in november, we found a big supermarket, a place to get a spritz and a toasted sandwhich, a great little pasticherria (lagoonside near Davide's place, nr. 387 I believe) with great coffee and pasteries and very cheap. Pellestrina is really great to 'get away from it all', to soak up some authentic fishermen-atmosphere, enjoy beach walks etc.

The place itsself was good. It is a one room space divided into two so it feels like a seperate bedroom and living room. In the living room there is the kitchen as well, with good cooking space, oven etc. Utensils/glasses not very extensive, but sufficient. There was olive oil, sugar, salt, some tea, coffee etc. We missed a baking dish for the oven and Davide provided 3 really quickly. There is a TV (we didn't use it),. loads of closet space, a couch (not very comfy but good enough to enjoy watching a movie on our laptop), a big round table and many chairs. Bed really comfortable! Many pillows and blankets provided.
The bathroom is well equipped: shower, toilet, washing bassin, soap, toilet paper, many towels. (No hairblower)
The garden in the picture is actually not a garden but it is one of those little squares positioned inbetween houses, which everybody can access. Seemed like a nice place to have breakfast/dinner outside when the weather allows it. (But no private sunbathing)

We didn't see a lot of our host, but it was very nice to know he was around if we had questions. He helped us find an oven dish, told us what time the local mini-market would close, what time the bus back to Lido would leave etc. Very helpful! he came pick us up with umbrella's when we arrived and showed us the way.
His reactions via internet before booking were also very helpful and quick.

The bikes are great to cycle up and down the island, sightsee, go to the supermarket/restaurant, but don't expect to make longer trips with them, they are not thát comfy.

There was wifi but the connection was not very fast/steady. Good enough for email, not for streaming etc.

I had a wonderful time at Pellestrina and enjoyed the cute little studio, the quiteness of the island, the neighbourhood (studio is 1 minute walk from lagoon: beautiful sunset!!!), cycling around, beach walks.

I could imagine taking a lot of books with me and spending more time here, really relaxing.
