We have just come back from a 4 night stay at Radiana's apartment on Lido. We were very glad to have made the decision to stay on the more peaceful island of Lido (10/15 min boat ride away from Venice).
Apartment is well located, next to a beach and about a 20 min walk back to ferry port (buses available if you wanted). Lido itself has a Main Street with lots of decent restaurants on it.
Radiana and Mike are great hosts, they offered to pick us up from the ferry port even though we didn't arrive until after midnight. We even got a lift back on our last day! Very nice touch providing some breakfast essentials so we had something to eat on our first morning.
Would highly recommend anyone looking to visit Venice, but wanting to escape to slightly calmer surroundings after a day of exploring!
Thanks again Radiana & Mike!
