We had a wonderful stay at Bruna’s Lido apartment. Bruna’s daughter Simonetta gave me excellent instructions for getting from the airport to Lido, met me at the boat and helped me get to the apartment including pushing my son in his pushchair - so helpful as my three year old son and I arrived before my husband and travelling with luggage and a toddler is no easy feat. The apartment has a small lift which was a godsend for getting the luggage to the flat. The kitchen was well stocked with treats - Prosecco, juice, breakfast cereal, biscuits and a full fruit bowl. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped to cook your own meals - there are of course plenty of cafes and restaurants on the Main Street, a stone’s throw away, if cooking is not your thing. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony overlooking the canal and enjoying a glass of wine as the sun set. Very relaxing!
The beds were comfy and the apartment was very clean. We could hear a bit of sound from the neighbour’s television but it wasn’t a problem. Presumably they could hear the sounds of our noisy toddler as well.... the apartment is decorated in a typical Venetian style complete with fantastic external shutters which make a long lie in the morning very easy! And the neighbourhood is peaceful too.
I was attending a conference at Venice convention centre which was a pleasant 15 minute walk away. It’s only 2 minutes to the vaporetto. And ten minutes to the beach. A very convenient location.
We were delighted with our stay in this lovely apartment and highly recommend it to others visiting Lido. Thank you Simonetta and Bruna for your warm hospitality, and Simonetta for helping me get to the vaporetto with my son and luggage again by myself. You are so kind!
Grazie!
