Where do I begin to start?! Beautiful Venetian home in a great location with a very hospitable host!
We're a family of 5 and traveled with our young children; Anna had a crib prepared for our baby without us even asking... This really set the tone as to the type of host Anna is.
The home, which is right along the Grand Canal, has a beautiful garden and an area where you can relax, enjoy a meal and some wine, and take in the exotic rhythms of Venetian life.
The location of the property was perfect. It is tucked away from the busy streets, but a 1 min walk from the main strip of shops, great restaurants, and sights. It's less than a 5 min walk from the Alilaguna stop, so if you have many bags, you don't have too much to worry about... but there are also porters in the area that you can hire for help. San Marco Square is also within walking distance. We are a family of 5 (children: 7yr, 2yr, 11month) and made the walk in less than an hour each way - which seems like nothing when you're strolling and enjoying the sights.
Anna gave us our privacy, but always maintained an open line of communication to ensure we felt at home and make sure there was nothing we needed.
I can't say enough about what a great home this is and what an amazing host Anna (and Sara, her sister, who also help us) was to us. We would definitely stay here again, and we highly recommend this place (and any of Anna's properties) to friends, family, and anyone reading this review.
Look no further, enjoy!!!
