Venice is even more gorgeous than I remembered! The Carnnegio is really the place to stay. Lots of gorgeous hipster Italians leisurely drinking wine on bridges, smoking, and having intimate chats at cafes on the canal. Hardly a tourist in sight. The wine was cheap and fabulous. The restaurant the host recommended was out of this world. I had a pappardelle that brought me back to my youthful trips to Tuscany. Our BnB was in a beautiful gardened courtyard and had a terrace where we breakfasted, drank delicious espresso, and played with the hosts' puppy (too cute for words). Alessandra was lovely and wonderfully helpful, a pleasure to talk to. We so enjoyed our stay!
