First let me introduce you our lodging for a night in Venice. We stayed at Foresteria Valdese, a guest house of the Waldensian and Methodist church in Italy. We were so excited coming to this place as we have booked a room with canal view. It’s the most expensive lodging in our European trip and we were looking forward to it but once we reached the guest house, all hopes dwindle down the drain.

You see, the customer service is really bad. The person who served us show us a peculiar face all the time but when she speaks to others (Eurasians) she smile like a sunflower. Then she gave us a room in the 3rd floor (top most) with very narrow stairs to our room. How on earth does she expect us ladies to carry our luggage up there? Lastly, the canal view promised is just bull$shit. We had to elongate our neck+body far out of the window just to see the canal. #*$(&@ PI$$ED!!!! We asked to change our room but she said all fully booked. Ohh we cursed so much that day man! Feel cheated especially for the namely so called canal view room.

Anyway here’s a look at our lodging in Foresteria Valdese.


Foresteria Valdese @ Venice, Italy. Our room is on the top-most floor facing to the right. It’s a very old building and the architecture inside the building is really nice.
