If you want to explore Venice then Elle's place is magical. Elle gave us a warm welcome and made us feel right at home before heading off on holiday. We loved walking barefoot to the beach, which is yards away, with a beach towel and the bodyboard generously provided, and watching the hummingbirds in the beautiful garden, playing the piano, cooking in the well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the extensive film collection then taking a soak in the spa bath and collapsing into the super comfortable beds. Dreamy!
