Our experience at Claudio's villa far exceeded my expectations. My boyfriend and I live in Colorado and this was our first time using Airbnb and first time in Italy. My sister lives in Madrid so we met up with her and her boyfriend and then flew from Madrid to Florence, Italy. From Florence we took a high speed train to Venice. Claudio offered to pick us up from the train station and drive us to his villa. It was so easy to communicate with Claudio and his English is really good. Upon arrival, Claudio had a cold bottle of Prosecco and sat us down with a map to point out all his favorite Venice spots. Claudio even drove us to Venice our first day. Our accommodations were wonderful and the bus system is easy to manage into Venice (about 20 minutes). I would also recommend to try the pizza place around the corner. I can't say enough good things about our trip and our experience with Claudio.
