We had a lovely, restful time (2 couples) in Francesca's family's apartment, which is attached to their main house. It is a spotless, well appointed, and gracious place, and the family is justifiably proud of it, and justifiably particular about how visitors treat it. The location is perfect for Venice - a short walk down to the vaparetto, and easy walking distance of everything else. It also has something not common in Venice - a private garden (shared with a few other renters) that backs onto a private clay tennis court - all surrounded by high walls. We slept well. Note that the spacious upstairs loft is not entirely private (and is fairly advertised as such). Francesca's directions were perfect, her suggestions helpful, and she checked in with us via email (she was at the family's farm) the day after we arrived and again just before we left. That left her mum, Emmanuella, in charge, and Emmanuella is a positive force of nature. We wanted to take her home. We highly recommend this place, and appreciated the care and attention the family gives it, and to strangers like us whom they welcome into their home. Oh yes, and the welcoming orange juice, milk for coffee and little biscuits were much appreciated!
