Great location, quiet area, superb host and a very nice villa with lots of feeling coming from old Murano chandeliers, great use of stone, real wood and carpets - not forgetting the uplifting paintings and graphics. Even though privacy in B&B is not exactly the same as in your own hotel suite, I definitely recommend to spend at least part of your Venice visit in this B&B. Lido is a great area with a decent beach, and getting to San Marco is just a matter of a few minutes really. Don't spoil your Venice visit staying too short time there, at least 3 - 4 nights is required at minimum. We were at Venice 8th time around, and had visited Lido, this Italian "secret" already some 27 years ago for the first time. Still it has its charm and relaxed feeling which you cannot find from over crowded tourist resorts. That's a reason to go back again one day!
