Altana Alba Chiara is a beautiful place that manages to covey the ambience of grandeur along with the charm of a family home. The rooftop terraces (altanas) provide breath-taking views of Venice over the iconic terra cotta rooftops. The views out the windows of the home are also spectacular. The home is sparkling clean. We enjoyed cooking in the charming kitchen, and savored meals out, per Chiara's recommendations. Chiara is a most gracious host, with excellent communication. Her local tips are very comprehensive. Chiara was always helpful, and even assisted us with the delivery of a delayed piece of luggage. We highly recommend staying at Chiara's home.
