Diana's house was our introduction to Italy and we loved it. It is charming, picturesque, and thoughtfully furnished. The whole family seems to have an artistic streak. It is located close to the Fondamente Nove and to some beautiful churches. Diana's son Mario came to meet us at the ferry wharf and escorted us to the house, and came to our rescue when we were lost. He is very helpful and informative, fluent in English, and quietly funny. We highly recommend this place. However, Venice is a maze and you may find it helpful to take photographs of all the street signs around the house so you can find your way back.
