This is THE only place to stay in Venice. You can stop looking for others, if you are lucky enough to get a vacancy you will not be disappointed. Alessandro is a fabulous host. The location of the house is excellent, a locals area. The house is clean and the bed was so comfortable. Alessandro's breakfasts are excellent, authentic, delicious, plentiful and full of fantastic conversation. He knows excellent places for dining and is very accommodating. We felt at home. If you are after an authentic experience of life in Venice than this is the stop. I can't do our stay justice with this review, however if we're lucky to return to Venice then staying here will be the only option. Thank you so much Alessandro! xx
