Our party of 5 had a wonderful stay at Ilaria's home in Venice. A real treat to stay right on the water overlooking a canal with gondolas passing by our windows. We could sit for hours in the kitchen watching the ballet of boats pass by. The place was sparkling clean with many stylish touches. The location was perfect – a little off the beaten path but within minutes of all the action. Valentina and her husband were lovely to deal with on check in and check out. We would definitely recommend staying at Ilaria's if you are lucky enough to visit this beautiful city.
