In Venice VCE ‘Marco Polo’ airport follow the signs to waterbus (vaporetto). You may buy your ticket (12€ single way) either in baggage claim area or at the quay of waterbuses called ALILAGUNA. It takes 50 minutes through the Venetian lagoon to Lido Island. ALILAGUNA will drop you off at Lido pier, just few steps away (just across the street)... more

My fiancee and I stayed at the Hotel Panorama - and it was brilliant! It was a very special day for us as I 'popped the question' on the way from the airport to the Hotel. The hotel manager Sabrina was amazingly helpful to organize EVERYTHING - from the private watertaxi, to the flowers and the prosecco. Sabrina and her... more

Stayed in this lovely hotel for 2 days. Situated on the island of Lido, fantastic views of San Marco Piazza and the lagoon. To get here the easiest way is too take the number 62 Vaporatto and not the 51. 51 takes about 50 minutes where as the 62 takes about 30 minutes. You can buy a 24 hours pass... more

Unfortunately we never stayed at this hotel but we have to give them credit of how helpful they were when we missed our water bus to the airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was my first trip to Venice and I decided to stay on the Lido; mainly because it is slightly cheaper than staying in central Venice and because it has a beach, which I... more

What a way to end our 3-week vacation in Italy. The Panorama Hotel is a little gem located on Lido Island where the tourist crowds are thin and food is wonderful. We arrived in Venice by train to an exciting storm of rain, lightening, and thunder. It was such a wonderful experience stepping out of the train station into what... more

I went there with my wife after being disapointed from our 1 night stay in one of the Venice's guest houses. We decided to go to Lido and Panorama was the first place we went to look for a room. We were absolutely happy we went there - the room was very comfortable and clean, the staff - very kind... more

If you are going to Venice, stay on the Lido. It takes you away from the fabulous chaos of Venice and offers a relaxing retreat. It is wonderful to come back accross the lagoon and see the lights twinkling on the water in the evening. You are in the lobby of the hotel after 1 minute of getting off the... more
