" All I can say is.... We had a Blast! At a minimum we are going to do it again next year (schedules permitting) and we are working on a couple of other people (to join us).... "
M. Garland - Venice Carnival February 2013" We thoroughly enjoyed our Essence of Carnival experience! Thank you so much for your gracious hosting here in Venice - after spending a few more days here for the rest of Carnevale, we realized that you “do it right” - our whole experience on Friday was the best ever!
