Enrico greeted us personally after a long journey. He gave a warm welcome and tour of the spacious apartment. There were lovely Easter treats on the table for us and the kids, and some basic food items in the refrigerator to get us started. The apartment is well furnished and comfortable. The commute from the apartment to Venice is a mere 30-40 minutes, easy with the bus and ferry. We left our car in Punta Sabbioni (5 Euro/day), and spend the week without a vehicle. The bus line in Lido is easy, frequent, modern and right around the corner.
We loved retreating to the quiet island of Lido after a long day in the city. The bikes he left for us allowed our family to venture into our neighborhood and find playgrounds and the beach. The apartment allowed for a perfect balance between Venice Madness and the quiet, local community of Lido. We highly recommend this apartment to families who want to experience Venice for full days and have a peaceful, quiet balance. You won't be disappointed!
