Hotels Near Darsena DI Sottomarina in Chioggia

Il proprietario Alessandro gentilissimo e accogliente, la stanza bella, grande e perfettamente PuLITA. Abbiamo dormito in quella chiamata ”industriale”, con arredamento a tema, curato e originale. Ho sbirciato nella camera di fianco, ”romantica”, altrettanto bella. Bagno molto comodo. caffè e frutta a disposizione in camera, Colazione dolce e salata molto buona. Annessa al residence anche una pizzeria molto carina, che non abbiamo provato (solo perché avevamo voglia di pesce), e che proveremo la prossima volta. Rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo. Torneremo.

The location is splendid and Chioggia is a beautiful little town, with a real life ( go to visit the fish market ). There is few places for the cars just in front for Check-in and check-out but the public parking is quite far . And often very crowded . Going to Venice is not very easy unless you have a car . The ferry + bus ride takes 90 minutes and there are few slots late in the night. Very good service and very nice personnel at the reception. Breakfast could be better. The ham and cheese quality was average. I know San Daniele ham and real pecorino and parmigiano can be expensive but the hotel rate is not cheap either. Juices are industrial . No freshly squeezed. Not a very good choice of fruits. We had a nice and clean room under the roof and the morning view was beautiful.

Stayed at this hotel for two nights, the first night was in the middle of the night, the bed was very warm, the room and bathroom space were OK. The hotel is about 600 meters away from the pier, more than 1000 meters from the beach, the pier and the beach are on both sides of Lido Island, Lido Island is long and narrow, about 1500 meters from the side of the island to the other side . The front door of the hotel is a step, the luggage needs to be lifted up, and the hotel elevator is a space for one person and one baggage. The Venice sea bus is a one-day ticket, a 2-day ticket or a 3-day ticket. If you go directly to the train station or airport, you don't need to buy that kind of day ticket, but you can buy a one-way ticket. There is a Chinese restaurant about 500 meters away from the hotel. The owner is Wenzhou. The people are very friendly and welcoming. It is impossible for foreign Chinese food to taste the taste of the family, so you can't expect too much. There is a small supermarket near the hotel with fruits and vegetables and others, and I really want to eat vegetable salad. There are a lot of food on both sides of the street, and the price is not very expensive.

The hotel is really quirky with an artistic tiled and colourful exterior and a movie theme (linked to the Venice film festival which is held on the Lido nearby). The staff are really friendly and authentic but not super efficient. We actually find this relaxing, part of the charm preferring this over highly attentive staff. There are two restaurants. The rooftop restaurant has great views of Piazza San Marco just a few miles in the distance. We didn’t eat there preferring the more traditional Italian food in the ground floor restaurant which was very good. The local wine recommendation was also very good. Breakfast was served in a light, airy and colourful breakfast room. I particularly appreciated the freshly squeezed orange juice which for some unfathomable reason is not offered in some more expensive hotels! For me this is a sign of quality. A fantastic selection of fresh fruits and pastries were provided, as well as cooked items - I had the scrambled eggs and bacon (more like pancetta). We really enjoyed the breakfast options but there’s no full English options if that’s your thing. We booked a Spa package which was excellent value. The therapists were very friendly and professional. The 100 minute massage was a highlight for me. My wife very much enjoyed the facial, particularly that the therapist didn’t just disappear when the mask was applied but continued to massage the body. My wife is not a stranger to regular facial and noted that the products were high quality but that there was just as much attention to massaging the whole body rather than just facial massage. Just a point of difference to be aware of if you’re used to more traditional facials. I considered when booking that a 2 hour slot for the Spa facilities may be restrictive but unlike some spas which have outside views this spa was in the basement, very nice, but 2 hours was sufficient. The Spa itself has steam rooms, saunas, a relax room and showers. The Spa is better than many hotel spas I have been in and probably the best iI have experienced in this price range. Highlights for me was the large Jacuzzi which was more like a hydrotherapy massage pool, and a good size sauna with a three stage cold mist shower. Very welcome after the sauna. The Lido itself is quite laid back with amazing beaches. When we visit Venice again we may well stay on the Lido and purchase a weekly ACTV water bus pass. What we now realise is that this would be a great way to see and visit the whole of Venice. In summary, at the price point, the Spa package and hotel exceeded expectations. We’d definitely go back.

The hotel is perfectly placed if you want the beach as it is opposite a fabulous public/free beach but with the option to purchase umbrellas, food, drinks etc if you want. You have a view of the beach/sea at breakfast. Also the roof terrace has sea views one way and sunset views the other which is fab! Claudio who serves at the roof terrace is an absolute joy. Reception is 24hours and staff were friendly and helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to the waterbus stop which takes you to Venice, Murano etc but the walk to the stop is alongside the sea or the Venice lagoon so is pretty special. We bought a weekly ticket for the waterbus to Venice etc at 65€ each which we thought worked out to be good value. There is a fabulous pool area nearby and 'pay for' beach which is pricey but we thought pretty good value at 12€ each for a sunbed without an umbrella at the pool or 48€ for two with padded sunbed, umbrella and table. There's a nice snack bar so you can stay all day. If you want the 'best of both worlds' Lido is ideal. We loved the calm after a busy morning exploring and sightseeing and an afternoon on the beach or by the pool was perfect for us. At first I was disappointed there were shutters at the windows and no view but it got very hot so I was glad of the air con and shutters on returning from sightseeing. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. If you want sea views pay the extra. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with lots of choice. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Tips: sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Venice/Venice lagoon. Visit Claudio on the roof terrace and enjoy a drink (and snacks) with a view.

This hotel is quite unusual architecture, we loved all the different spaces. When you go into the reception area, look up beautiful Murano glass circles light up the area. Just a short walk from the vaporetto stop. The rooms are very nicely decorated, the beds are super comfortable. Very quiet. There’s a cool bar/ terrace overlooking the Laguna -we enjoyed cocktails there a couple of evenings. The drinks are pricey though. Would highly recommend staying on murano for a few nights, go visit in Burano and other islands nearby, what a magical treat. We had stayed on Venice island for a few days, so it was nice to get away from the crowds. The hotel arranged a wooden boat water taxi to the airport, which was the highlight of my fabulous stay in Venice.

Very neat and friendly environment. Amazing staff ready for guest's enquiries. My earlier perception of how the hostel would look completely vanished. Very comfortable beds. Good discipline among the guests. However, renting Towels at €5 seemed ridiculous to me. And also, Duvet covers should be provided instead of the additional bed sheet given. Nevertheless, I enjoyed staying and hope to return when visiting Italy again.
