Hotel Villa Casanova, Venice Lido

Situated in a quiet residential area of the Venice Lido, this incredibly welcoming hotel offers environmentally friendly accommodation in a beautiful location. The Lido beach, with its manicured sand and brightly coloured beach huts, provokes a vivid and lasting image which is further evoked by the magnificent Art Deco villas - a reminder of the Lido's 'golden age' as Europe's leading seaside resort at the turn of the 20th century.

Hotel Villa Casanova, presumably named after Venice's promiscuous son, has the facade of a typical 1930s villa: however its internal refurbishment has encompassed modern principles of bio-architecture and engineering to create an elegant, comfortable and environmentally friendly living space. The double and triple rooms have all been decorated with an adherence to Feng-Shui principles and come equipped with air conditioning, shower room, telephone and TV. All the accommodation is bright and peaceful, with many rooms overlooking the beautiful gardens.

In accordance with the ethos of the hotel, the banquet-style buffet breakfast has a choice of organic products and is served in the summer months in the garden of the villa. All the sights of Venice are just 12 minutes away by boat, which can take you direct to St Mark's Square. Just 200 metres from the ferry stop, this hotel is ideally placed for explorations of not only Venice but also the southern stretches of the Lido and its surrounding islands. With a front desk offering help with restaurant recommendations, ferry timetables, luggage storage and much, much more, this small and considerate hotel is a real find.
