gracie, you brought back some nice memories for me. We have just got back from our trip and we also stayed at La Limonera which we loved ( we had the garden apartment). We did the same as you and asked someone in a nearby hotel how to get there from the ferry wharf. She said "Don't wait for a taxi but go up the stairs OR around the road to the left and you will easilly get there". We did the latter and only had to pull our luggage behind us rather than carting it up those stairs. We loved LL and Bellagio itself. The other thing we did like you was attend the Vivaldi concert in Venice in that same church. So thanks for the memories!

Hi Peteralan,
So glad you enjoyed the report, and it brought back some good memories!
Yeah, it would have been nice to know about taking the road around to LL, but it makes for a funny memory now.
When you went to the Vivaldi concert, did you have the orchestra with the, how shall I describe him, very enthusiastic cello player? I think he's what kept me awake!
Glad you had a good trip. Will you be writing a report?

Well I am not sure about that but it was the Interpreti Veneziani orchestra.Funnily, re-reading your report, I noticed that the day you mentioned going to the concert(6/9) was the actual date we went!Also, you said the San Polo was your favourite area. Well that is where we stayed and we loved it.Not sure about writing a report as I would not be able to go into the detail you did.Still a bit jetlagged!

Hi gracie04. This was great! We're going to Venice too so it's incredibly helpful. Didn't know what topping was but now I'm getting better. Unfortunately we can't stay at residence la limonera but I appreciate your advice about staying in Bellagio. Took my family to Prague Budapest Bavaria and Salzburg 2 years ago and I'm buying one of those T shirts for this trip!
