We stayed at the villa last fall while traveling through Italy with friends and having stayed in the big cities on other trips, we wanted off the beaten track places away from parking and congestion problems and that are less expensive. We had a car so this made staying outside of the metro areas more doable.
We couldn't have found a more pleasant place to stay on our two day tour of Venice. The owner was most gracious and helpful during our visit and went out of her way to help us make contact with cousins in the Venice area whom we had never met.
The villa was spotlessly clean and the rooms were large and comfortable with new furnishings and the breakfast which was included, was outstanding in both quality and variety.
The villa is located in a small town about 30 minutes from the Venice parking area where you are minutes away from the vaporetto stops, the Piazzas, and the Grand Canal.
Our only problem, and it was our problem as none of us are good map readers, was finding the villa and finding our way back from the city. One needs to know exactly how to arrive at the villa and how to navigate back. If we had been better prepared and had used our GPS we would not have had a problem. I should mention also that there is train service a short distance from the villa in Codogne, the town close to the villa. We would have saved a lot of aggravation and time if we had driven to the station, taken the train and left the car.
All in all this was one of the most pleasant stays we had during our three week trip. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or recommend the villa to travelers looking for out of the way, inexpensive and immaculate digs.
Our thanks again to the signora and her beautiful family for our warm and gracious stay.
