Although there was a misunderstanding about our dates, which was really just that and no one’s fault, Francesco handled it very well, calmly coming up with a back-up plan. Francesco was a joy to talk with, very interesting and very generous; we feel we have made a friend. The house is very special, lovely big rooms full of charm in lovely quiet surroundings. There is a big garden surrounding the house, so the outlook is green and attractive. The walk from the water bus took us eleven minutes and was easy and pleasant. If you want a modern super-swish place this is not for you. If you want a warm homely atmosphere with amazing Venetian style and a warm and generous host, you have found the right place. We would be very happy to stay with Francesco again.
