Locanda Gaffaro
Venice (Island), Italy
Venezia San Lucia
From the train station in Venice we carried and rolled our bags in search of
Locanda Gaffaro. With no map, due to my error, I was forced to use the laptop a couple of times and we asked directions once. We
understood the directions even though they were entirely in Italian. Finally I was stumped as I seemed to be in the right location. A pleasant gentleman walked up and
called us by name, which was shocking. He explained that he recognizes his clientele by the clicking of the luggage wheels on the pavement bricks.
Our room at Locanda Gaffaro was wonderful. The room was large and quiet with air conditioning and a full bath. We even had a balcony with a slight view in to a canal. The tile floors were pleasantly cool on our feet. I sat on the balcony and listened to the animated Italian conversations as unseen individuals prepared dinner in their apartments. Nighhawks screeched overhead. A gondolier was singing. Thunder rolled and a light mist of rain fell – enchanting.
