Fantastic host..Good english. He picked us up at the water taxi and drove us to his home. He was so kind to leave my husband a bottle of Champagne for his birthday. It was delightful. Host left us fruit, milk, water, juice,eggs, cookies, pasta, bread, coffee, tea and spreads. His home is amazing. Loved the bedroom and comfortable bed. Kitchen is big and great for cooking in. He let us use 2 bicycles. We had so much fun riding all over the island and visiting the beach. We ended up spending more time on Lido than in Venice. The water taxi ride from train station on Venice to Lido was easy. Host had extra time on weekend and offered us a boat ride to other islands. We paid him $100.00 euro. He printed us information about each of the areas and spent about 6 hours taking us around. He made us feel like family. He took us with the bikes on his boat to another locatation for lunch, which was fresh fish. A local only place which was a wonderful experience. We took ferry back with bikes and were able to ride back. What a highlight this was on our honeymoon. If we ever travel back to Venice area or anywhere in Italy, this is where we are coming. We can not say enough good about the entire stay at Lido. Perfect. We loved the host and everything about Lido. The people, the food, the island, the beach.
