Francesca’s place is a peaceful haven in Venice, away from the touristy, crowded areas of town. We also enjoyed visiting and discovering her neighbourhood of Giudecca, which feels more authentic and human than traditional Venice. Yet, Francesca’s place is close to all the key spots in town for those who’d like to go to San Marco, Rialto, Grand Canal etc. thanks to the convenient vaporetti (the stop is right next to her place). There are a lot of delicious restaurants nearby in Giudecca, offering an amazing view over Venice especially at sunset.
Francesca went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and nice. The rooms and bathroom are simply and nicely decorated and are extra clean (Francesca makes a point to clean them daily). Francesca is always happy to have a chat and share tips about Venice and her beautiful garden but is also a very discreet and respectful host. We would definitely come back!
