We enjoyed our time in Venice The home was had a nice layout in a lovely neighborhood. There were parts of the home needing attention. Kitchen lighting was very dim . Lv chairs are worn. Home was not freshly cleaned. Sticky tile floors. Hair in shower drain. Soiled carpet. No desk for long term visitors. Golf courses were fabulous. Beaches and restaurants were great. Sweet people everywhere. ....neighbors too.

spacious attractive property with lots to do in the Gran Paridiso property and lots of activities and places to visit in Venice, Sarasota and Punta Gorda

We were pleased with our stay at this property. Our trip plans shortened our stay due to some scheduling changes, so it was shorter than planned. However, the unit was clean and just as described. It has everything you need to prepare meals. The owner also provided a garage door opener, which makes coming and going very easy. We were already familiar with the Gran Paradiso amenities, which we appreciate. Overall, we’d definitely recommend this unit if you are looking to stay in Gran Paradiso!

Rental unit was well stocked and comfortable. Unit is located in South Venice in an excellent community with top shelf amenities. Located within 20-30 minutes of multiple Gulf beaches, we would highly recommend this unit.

Home was as described on VRBO,well stocked and comfortable beds.Enjoyed use of amenities,resort clean and staff friendly. We enjoyed plenty of golf and bike riding,relaxing at pool. Our grandchildren visited for one week and had plenty to do with use of pool and beaches nearby.

We recently stayed at this Villa and would highly recommend it. The unit was very clean and well stocked. We felt very comfortable here. The amenities are awesome. Great pool and workout facilities. This unit is close to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Venice is a thriving community with a small town feel. The owners are very responsive and they were happy to answer questions and ensured we were able to get into the unit and ensured our stay was a pleasant one. Very accommodating and we would highly recommend this unit if you are staying in the Venice area.

Just winding up a one-month stay at Villa Aqua-Outstanding!!! From the comfortable Villa equipped better than any rental I have ever been in, to the beautiful sunsets over the lake, and the resort style rec center and pool. Close to great beaches and dining from chain restraints to upper class 4-star presentations.... We highly recommend this Villa.

Perfect spot to spend the winter! Villa looked as if it was professionally decorated with all the comforts of home. Completely stocked kitchen with all you would need along with plenty of bedding; bath towels and even provided beach towels! Extra large lanais was perfect for hosting cocktail hour and to enjoy the Venice sunsets. No problems, everything went along smoothly. I would not hesitate to rent from Marie and Bill again!

We just completed a 3 month stay at this location. The Villa is brand new and tastefully furnished with nice furniture and all of the necessary equipment for a prolonged visit. The rooms are very comfortable and the extended lanai is a definite positive. The new clubhouse has a beautiful pool and a great recreational center. It is a pleasant street and our next door neighbors were very nice (something important in a Villa). We found the location to be just right for us with easy access to the beach and to various golf courses as well as to downtown Venice and Englewood. Most of our activities (and friends) were within a 15 minute drive with places like Sarasota or Gasparilla Island just a little further. We have been renting in this area for the last 10 years, and this was one of the nicer places that we have found. We highly recommend it for facilities, comfort and location..

We enjoyed our stay at this brand new (Oct 2015) villa in Gran Paradiso. The villa has a large screened lanai and overlooks a nature area, and to the side, a lake for privacy. The Master bedroom had a slider to the lanai and a master bath with tub and shower to complement the king bed. The kitchen was well appointed and allowed us to cook many of our meals. There was an office that could double as a 3rd bedroom with its own tv that could be closed for privacy. The garage with opener and key pad locks on the doors allowed us access without keys. The villa is in a quiet area of Gran Paradiso but we walked to the recreation area where we enjoyed a sun deck, warm clover leaf pool, hot tub, billiard table, card room, tennis courts and pickelball courts. We felt welcomed by the locals wherever we went including a shopping mall just a couple of miles to the west which had multiple places to eat and shop. The owners were easy to work with by phone and email and we would recommend this villa for those wanting to be around Venice, Florida.
