Lido Villa and Resort Hotels
From: Lido di Venezia (Venice Lido)
ABOVE: The three-star Hotel Villa delle Palme ("Villa of the Palms") has a large fenced garden and a rooftop observation turret with sundeck.
- Also see: Hotels on the Lido's main street
If you're traveling with children or looking for a resort
experience during the summer, try staying at a villa or
resort hotel near the water or in one of the Lido's residential neighborhoods.
Many of these hotels have private gardens where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing.
In the listings below, we've focused mostly on hotels that are within walking distance of the Lido S.M.E. waterbus station.
(Other villa and resort hotels on the Lido may be too far from the center to be convenient unless you have a car.)
-
Note: Some of these hotels aren't open during the winter months. If you're visiting the Lido out of season, see our listings of hotels on the Lido's main street.
