Fabio's place is a perfect home-base for the exploration of Venice's many sights and tastes. Located on Murano, it has an amazing location on the edge of the water, with views onto Venice + great sunrise for the earlybirds. From the appt, it was super easy to get to Venice each day by Water Bus (Vaporetto) which runs every 10 minutes - the stop is less than 100 meters from the door of the appt. The lifestyle, layout and atmosphere of Murano, and the culture of the place was a highlight of our trip - far better than staying in a tiny hotel room in Venice.

The appartment is new and spotless - just like the pictures. Great design, super-comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen for having breakfast or even dinner, fast wifi - zero complications! Bonus is the superb lighting "art" chandeliers in the suite created by Master Fabio in his atelier next door.

Communication with Fabio and his charming wife Andrea was always fast & simple. Andreas met us directly at the Murano Alilaguna Water Bus stop that comes direct from the airport - nothing could be easier (or nicer) for a greeting. She pointed out where we could buy some groceries and made excellent restaurant recommendations. If you visit Fabio, or even just Murano, be sure to try Aquastanca - absolutely fantastic food - see the web for reviews and go. Also check out the Murano Glass Museum, a fascinating glimpse into the centuries of history of Venetian glassmaking.

In summary, the suites are a little gem, right next door to Venice, where you can leave the hustle/bustle behind at the end of the day, and come re-energize for the next day of discovery & adventure. You will be hard pressed to find a better price/value combination than the Lagoon Suites, or more gracious and accommodating hosts than Fabio and Andrea.
