Nice houseboat. Clean and comfortable. Would rent again.

This was by far the best experience I had in Venice. I've had many excellent houseboats but this one was exceptional on all levels.As avid coffee drinkers We enjoyed the dual pot that allowed pods or grounds. Accessibility to the harbor and to the main channel to the river was perfect. The starlink connection allowed us to work and enjoy programs very easily. I look forward to staying here again.

Great boat in great spot in Venice. We had a big group spread around different houseboats, by far the newest and nicest in our group
