We loved staying at David and Andrea’s cottage in Venice. There is a beautiful private patio full of plants and I loved reading there or just sitting in the sun. The inside of the cottage is very cozy and there are a lot of thoughtful details from a nice coffeemaker to flowers in little vases. When it’s warm out the inside of the cottage and the patio feel like a continuous space. There is a great built in shower, that is very relaxing! I loved the area too with nicely designed, thoughtful cafes and restaurants, like a flower shop that also sells coffee and art and design objects practically next door and a great yoga studio nearby. David and Andrea were both very welcoming!
