What a luxurious place to explore and walk around Venice, while at the same time having a restful stay at home and enjoying the pool & spa. The back yard was a picture perfect zen space, wonderful to relax with a cup of tea or glass of wine. The outdoor heat lamps and fire pit were a lovely touch and allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even with a chill in the air. Perfect spot for our family and 2 teenagers looking to get away. The pool house is a charming treat. And of course Alex was the perfect hostess - accommodating, accessible and gracious. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back!
