“In a peaceful corner of Cannaregio, this retreat provides a serene escape, with a verdant courtyard that immediately impresses. Its location, near both vaporetto stops and the lively Fondamenta Ormesini, strikes a smart balance. From what I gathered, the host's attentiveness elevates the experience, offering personalized advice that makes navigating Venice feel seamless.”
