Casa San Boldo is a very special experience, The apartment is perfect - beautifully appointed, very comfortable, incredibly well serviced and wonderfully located so that it is near enough to all the attractions of Venice but removed from the crowds and the noise. Francesca and he mother Emanuela are as perfect as hosts can be - friendly, considerate, well organised and great communicators. All requests are addressed quickly and generously and they are both so warm and welcoming that you immediately feel at home. There are also many unique aspects of their home as well. A tennis court, a courtyard with enclosed gorgeous garden (fantastic for sipping Prosecco in the afternoon after a heavy day on the tourist trail). Wonderful eateries nearby and extensive information and advice on hand in Francesca's guide folder as well as through personal chatting with her and her Mum.
This was our second stay with the Pastis and we're already planning how we can get back there again in the near future. I may not return to Venice at the height of summer again, because of the crowds and it was a little warm But no matter when I visit, I would always try to stay with the Pastis - they are just so good at what they do and so nice to meet and to know.
