We had the most fantastic stay at Massimo’s stunning home in Venice. It provided our family of 5, ages 4 to 74, with creature comforts, space, convenience, WiFi and tv, and most importantly, air conditioning for 5 days in July. One member with mobility issues was able to easily enter the house (2 steps) and use the 1st floor bedroom and bathroom.
The house is centrally located on a quiet square off the main tourist areas, all within walking distance to the beautiful landmarks, sights, shopping, dining and gelato shops, and water transportation (note: private water taxi stop is about a 3-4 block walk). Staff at restaurants (quite good!) on the square knew Massimo and offered dining discounts.
Massimo communicated with us early and often (even from London!), provided a detailed house manual and resources for must-see sights, dining, tour guides, transportation, grocery shopping, etc. When it was evident we needed an extra suitcase, Massimo even helped us locate several luggage stores.
Massimo went above and beyond before and during our stay. Our son injured his foot the day before in Florence and Massimo was able to direct us to medical care in Venice, even calling us to discuss how to ask our water taxi driver for an additional stop at the hospital on our way to check-in at his home.
Massimo is by far the best host we ever had and his home was a great base to create beautiful family memories of our Venice vacation. Thank you, Massimo & family for sharing your home!
