Villa Albertina Hotel

On Venice’s Lido — a family-friendly hotel a short vaporetto hop (about 20 minutes) from St. Mark’s Square. Steps from Lido Beach, the Congress Palace, Palazzo del Cinema (Film Festival area) and the casino, with a sandy stretch and sun loungers just a couple minutes’ walk away.

Housed in a restored 19th-century Venetian villa and run by a local family, the property has a flowered garden, a breakfast terrace and a kids’ playground. Rooms feel cozy and classic, with private bathrooms, satellite TV, heating and internet access. Bikes and room service are available for easy island-style exploring.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll to the sandy beach with parasols and loungers. Relax on the terrace or in the garden, rent bicycles to cruise the island, and unwind at the on-site bar/lounge. Free self-parking and 24-hour reception add practical ease to the seaside vibe.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Front-desk services include luggage storage and a safe deposit box, plus tour and ticket assistance.

Buffet breakfast is served daily on the garden terrace (hours typically 8:00–10:00, for a fee). Finish the day with a drink at the bar/lounge after exploring Venice and the Lido.
