We live in Venice about a mile away, and had family in town. We needed a second house - and this was the perfect addition for our family. We ended up using it as our home base, since it had the perfect kitchen and eating areas. The house has been done over simply and comfortably with plenty of seating areas. The beds were super comfy as were the linens and towels. I'd recommend highly and will happy use again, when a load of family descends on us again!!
