If you are visiting Venice, this IS the place to stay. The beach house in Murano is absolutely amazing - well appointed, luxurious, and such easy access to Venice. Andrea communicated how the shuttle boats worked and which one we needed to take, and we had no trouble at all. She met us at the dock in Murano and escorted us to the house which was only a minute from the dock. She had stocked with pastries, milk, oj, fresh fruit and coffee - what a treat, well beyond our expectations. We had easy access to the Murano glass artist studios, and the restaurant recommended by Andrea, 5 minutes away, remains our favorite from our whole 2 week stay in Italy. We debated whether we had wanted to stay in Venice proper, but after this trip I would definitely recommend staying at Andrea's place in Murano and taking public transport to see Venice. Murano is so beautiful and the transfer is quick and easy. You wont be disappointed!
