The location is superb, the Lido is a wonderful base for your Venice exploration and very pleasant resort itself. The room is the basement but it is very clean, well-equipped and the private bathroom is much better than many hotel bathrooms I have encountered in Italy. Paolo provided us with some useful tips for Venice and the Lido and the places we visited on his recommendation were all worth it. The only downside was the wi-fi which was basically non-existent the room and when we booked the room it said it had wi-fi. However I see that this is now fixed and future guests won't have this issue. Overall, excellent stay and strong recommendation.
