Lovely welcome and stay at Mara's, and very helpful advice both on arrival, and also once I'd settled in; eg: where to find a swimming pool for my exercise. Mara's sister met the plane very early and efficiently showed me around. The tram to Venice is very close and there's a terrific little bar on the corner, I was made to feel welcome there among the locals. Mara's place is tiny but very clean and I had a great time. I'd suggest Mara include the visitor tax in her price, because the end of the trip is always a worry with making sure you have the right cash, especially if you are leaving the country. As I said to Mara: all good!
