ABOVE: In summer, many Europeans stay on the Lido, Venice's island resort, which separates the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.

Hotels in other locations

Zattere. Boats of Alilaguna's Red Line stop at Zattere, on the Giudecca Canal side of Dorsoduro, which is about 10 minutes beyond San Marco Vallaresso. Hotels nearby include:

Hotel La Calcina (3 stars), formerly the Pensione de Calcina, occupies the building where John Ruskin stayed in 1876. It's directly on the Zattere, overlooking the Giudecca Canal and the ships that pass by. The hotel management also has mini-flats and studios at the Apartment La Calcina Suites (4 stars) nearby.

Pensione Seguso (2 stars) is also on the Zattere, where it offers traditionally-furnished single and double rooms (most with bathrooms in the hall).

Ca' San Trovaso (2 stars) is slightly inland from the Zattere. One- to three-person rooms are available, breakfast is brought to your room, and rates are quite reasonable for Venice.

The Zattere is also a convenient Alilaguna stop for guests of the Venice Hostel, which is just across the canal by vaporetto on the island of Giudecca.

Arsenale. Alilaguna Red Line boats also stop at Arsenale, in the Castello quarter, on their way to and from the airport. Hotels in this area include:

Palazzo San Giorgio degli Schiavoni (3 stars), on the Campo Arsenale not far from the water.

Ca' Formenta (3 stars) on the Via Garibaldi, a major pedestrian street that angles inland from the waterfront.

Murano. The glassmaking island of Murano is between the Lido and Marco Polo Airport on several Alilaguna airport boat routes. Travel time to the airport is only 30 minutes (allow an extra 10 minutes for the walk from the boat pier to the terminal.) See the Murano hotels page in my Murano Travel Guide for advice on reasonably-priced lodgings.

Lido. Venice's beach resort is also a suburb; it occupies a narrow strip of land that separates the Adriatic Sea from the Venetian Lagoon. Alilaguna boats stop here; see my Lido Hotels page or use Venere's Lido Nord map to select hotels near the boat station at the foot of Gran Viale S.M. Elisabetta.

Murano. The glassmaking island of Murano (see my article) has a nine-room hotel, the Locanda Al Soffiador (1 star), on the Viale Bressagio near the vaporetto stop at Faro, which is about a 10-minute walk from the Alilaguna boat stops at Colonna (Blue Line) and Museo (Red Line).

Mestre/Marghera. See my Mainland Hotels page for listings of hotels in these industrial suburbs of Venice, which are convenient mainly if you're traveling with a car that you plan to drop off at the airport on your day of departure.

Tessera. The Hotel Titian Inn is close to the airport and offers shuttle service. If you're driving a rental car, consider the Verde Venezia, a B&B in a converted farmhouse. It's only a 5-minute drive from the terminals.

Treviso. Ryanair and Transavia (formerly Basiq-Air) flights use the San Giuseppe Airport in Treviso, an historic city of canals that lies 30 km or 19 miles from Venice. You can easily reach the airport with special ATVO buses that connect to Ryanair flights and Transavia/Basiq-Air flights from the Piazzale Roma. However, if you'd like to stay in Treviso, you'll find several hotels listed on my Treviso Hotels page.
