Venice Airport HotelsPage 4
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 locationsZattere. Airport boats (Alilaguna's Linea Blu) 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 also has five mini-flats and studios in its apartment annex, La Calcina Suites (3 stars). 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 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's Linea Blu 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, 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 our Murano Travel Guide for advice on reasonably-priced lodgings. Lido. Venice's beach resort is also a residential suburb. It occupies a narrow strip of land that separates the Adriatic Sea from the Venetian Lagoon. Alilaguna boats stop here; see our Lido Hotels page to select hotels near the boat station at the foot of Gran Viale S.M. Elisabetta. Murano. The glassmaking island of Murano (see our article) has a nine-room hotel, the Al Soffiador (2 stars), 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 our Mestre Hotels page for listings of hotels in Mestre, on the Venetian mainland, a location that's convenient if you're on a tight budget or have a rental car that you plan to drop off at the airport on your day of departure. (Our article lists several hotels directly across from the Mestre Railroad Station, where you can catch the ATVO "Fly Bus" to Venice's Marco Polo airport.) Tessera. The Titian Inn Hotel & Residence 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 in the countryside near the airport. It's only a 5-minute drive from the terminals, and there's no charge for parking. Treviso. Ryanair, Transavia, Germanwings, Wizzair, and Air Arabia use Canova 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 Treviso airport buses from the Piazzale Roma. However, if you'd like to stay in Treviso, you'll find several hotels listed on our Treviso Hotels page.
