So glad we chose this one. The location is on Guidecca Island which is off the main tourist area so is quiet and with Paola's directions very quick and easy to find. The area has nice restaurants along the foreshore with good views of Venice's landmarks. It is an easy boat trip across to the busy side so we would spend the day getting lost amongst the tourists in the myriad of streets and piazzas then relax in the evening on 'our island'.

Francesca was an excellent host and the breakfast in her beautiful garden each morning was a delight. We highly recommend this lovely quiet oasis far from the madding crowd.
