The place is like your typical nonno's house. Everything is on the older/more classic side, like shown in the pictures, but it all functions greatly! Franco is very kind, all things are clear, and the laundry machine was a nice and welcome surprise for us after camping for a while. The closest supermarket is a 5 minute walk and there are lots of great prosecco wineries, cute villages and great restaurants within 15 minutes driving. Sitting on the patio, directly at the vineyards, makes for a great moment to relax.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé le logement de Chiara. Son emplacement est parfait : une arrivée rapide et pratique depuis Piazzale Roma (8mns depuis le parking). J’adore ce quartier paisible et très vénitien loin des touristes et de la foule de San Marco. Et la piazza Santa Marguerite, une merveille de vie locale. J’y retournerai les yeux fermés. Merci à Chiara pour sa gentillesse et sa bienveillance. À bientôt.
