Venice

Venice is a beautiful and unique city. Visitors of the city can spend hours walking its “calle” and “campi” (alleys and squares) while admiring its breathtaking works of art among travelers from around the world.

The relaxing green embrace of Lido di Venezia, the thin island that extends between the open sea and the Venice lagoon will offer the perfect setting to restore the mind and the body. Lido is located within a 10-minute boat ride from Piazza San Marco and is well connected by private and public transportation.

The 12km island has sandy beaches that occupy most of its coasts. Thanks to the length of its beaches, Lido is one of the least crowded beaches of the high Adriatic and the same time is both relaxing and elegant. Departing from Lido there are daily boat tours organized by different providers to visit the other charming islands of the Venetian lagoon.

A well maintained golf course on the island can provide additional entertainment. Staying at Lido will allow visitors to appreciate the magic atmosphere of Venice while enjoying a very special setting; the island represents the ideal location for those anxious to combine a cultural vacation with a romantic and relaxing experience.
