Better than any hotel we have ever stayed in. We chose Ivonnes home based on previous reviews. Ivonne is exactly as described by others, and we felt very at ease and comfortable from the moment we stepped in through the door. We don't speak Italian, but it didn't seem to matter, as Ivonne was excellent at explaining things with gestures. What we were not prepared for was just how grand the home was that we had the pleasure of staying in for 2 nights. The beautiful marble staircase leading to the second floor gives you some idea of what is to come. The Princess Room itself was enormous, and in addition to the en-suite, there was a separate small room for storing suitcases and hanging clothes. Everything was immaculate. Very quiet and peaceful, with a huge bed that we slept soundly in both nights. We were also shown how to access to the roof terrace from where we watched the gondolas passing along the canal beneath. The breakfast was plentiful with bread, mozzarella, cold meat, tomato salad, honey and fresh fruit ,plus pre-packed croissants, pastries, jam, etc. Ivonne was also kind enough to supply me with a selection of gluten free options. The fresh coffee was delicious, and just how we like it. The location of the property is perfect, nestled within a myriad of narrow lanes and bridges, and just 2 minutes walk to a busy piazza with restaurants, bars and shops galore. Our only regret is that we didn't stay 4 or 5 days. Venice isn't as expensive as we thought it was going to be, no different to the UK. Thank you Ivonne (and Elena) for such a wonderful experience. We have already recommended you to friends, and will continue to do so. Best wishes from Katie and Rupert.
