Francesca was wonderful. She was such a good host with lots of help and advice about transport and good places to go. She was very cheerful and easy to get along with. The room was spotless as was the bathroom and she provided me with a fan and mosquito repellant if needed. It was great to have as it was extremely hot and humid while I was in Venice. Francesca kindly allowed me to leave some of my goods and chattels with her to lighten my luggage. The breakfast each morning in the garden was so nice. The bedding / towels were clean and fresh, although the bed was very firm and the pillows much too hard for my liking but others I'm sure prefer them like that. All in all, it was a lovely place to stay away from the crowds of Venice city. So nice to wake up to bells and singing birds. Highly recommended.
