This is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting Venice. Lido is lovely and only about 10 minutes by water bus from St Mark's square, although the apartment is about 15 minutes bus journey from the Lido water bus station. But it means that as well as visiting Venice itself, you can have a beach holiday as well - there is a reasonable beach about 5 minutes walk from the apartment.

The apartment is comfortable and very well equipped with things like towels, a washing machine, laundry dryer, coffee machine, CD player etc. The shower is good and the whole place was very clean. We especially liked the shutters which when closed make the apartment wonderfully dark and quiet and when combined with the comfortable bed meant that we slept really well - much better I suspect than we would have in the middle of Venice.

Elisa and Stefano are really nice and great at communication. They gave us good directions to find the apartment and met us there (having just made sure it was ready for us). They even provided us with a bottle of bubbly to kick off our 10 year anniversary celebration.

I would happily recommend this apartment for anyone wanting a quiet place away from the centre of Venice or for someone wanting another dimension to a City Break. We would certainly stay there again.
