This property although very grand and lovely in the common areas, our room was extremely dated. The carpets were covered in stains, bathroom tiles were cracked, plaster work in bathrooms looked very old. Some of the PowerPoints didn’t work.
There were minimal power points making it hard to charge multiple devices.
Room was large. Buffet breakfast had great options. Staff were friendly.
However food, drinks and services offered by the hotel such as laundry and transfers were extremely expensive.
It was nice to be staying on a quieter island as opposed to the main island of Venice, as it was extremely crowded and would have been horrible to wheel a suitcase through.
The free boat taking you to the main island of Venice and back was lovely and so convenient.
I would not say the stay was worth the average $700 AUD per night we paid. However the cheaper options in Venice also looked extremely dated and cramped so probably wouldn’t have been any better.
A note that Taxi’s on the island would only take cash which was quite frustrating as I was forced to walk to a bank to get cash out which charged €4 just to get cash out. Also the taxi driver did not mention this until after we arrived at our destination.
We found a few nice meal options within a 20 minute walk of the hotel which was a better option than the very expensive hotel options.
Also, a quick note that we ended up using the Aliguana Ferry to get from the airport to Lido and then a taxi from the port to the hotel.
