I loved staying at Mariolina's. The area of Maghera was perfect for being able to go into the main Venice area whenever we wanted to easily, and also staying away from the huge crowds of tourists. The apartment was very clean and had a great main/kitchen area. Mariolina was also a great host, and met us when we got there with a lot of materials about the area and transportation. Definitely the place to stay if you want to visit Venice.
