The apartment location was excellent for both the Lido beach and for visits to Venice itself. When the children got fed up of walking around the city we simply changed in the apartment and walked the 200 m to the private beach (flat-white/yellow sand) and swam, ate ice cream, drank whatever and had a good time. There are huts to rent (shade) and sail boats to hire. Loads of families doing exactly the same. Very low pressure place with restaurants, shops and ice-cream bars in number. The apartment is nicely furnished in some style with some antiques and a few oil paintings (not modern style). Kitchen very well equipped. Essentially we crossed on the ferry with our car and parked in front of the house with no bother at all. Isabella and her husband made sure we had a good time. And we did! I suspect we will be back....
