    "It’s a very “bohemian” environment... I’m sure super fun for kids 13-18... I would keep an eye on younger kids as Venice doesn’t always bring the best elements to the beach... all in all, it’s a fun diverse place with people from all over the world and all different social and economic backgrounds and a great place in my opinion."
