This was our second time staying at Elena's house and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. It's very spacious with large windows that provide beautiful light and views onto either Rio Marin or her lovely back garden. The house has a cozy library area and many of her husband's fantastic paintings are on the walls. The location is close to the grocery store and good restaurants and it is not too far from vaporetto stops or the train station. Elena is the kindest, most thoughtful host and we were sad to leave again.
