Hotel Villa Parco

Not Impressed

Best feature is that it is a short walk to beach. Our air-conditioner did not work and it was very hot, they couldn’t place us anywhere else. Breakfast was rationed out some days where they only allowed a very small portion but we were all charged daily; There was no posting that breakfast cost anything,however, we are probably spoiled and used to complimentary breakfast. Honestly it was probably cheaper than finding breakfast somewhere else. It was an okay stay, like I said close to beach but also a long walk to downtown, wouldn’t stay there again.

Big mistake

Only had 2 nights in Venice, which we booked in this hotel. We did not stay the 2nd night. It was worth it to lose the money on the 2nd night to stay somewhere else. It is not conveniently located to anything. It is very small. We booked a triple room for 2 adults and 2 children. A Triple Room consisted of a double bed and a cot, with barely any room to walk around them. They renamed a double room, a triple room because they added a cot??? AC was poor, it was hotter in the room than it was outside, in JULY! No elevator, when you went to the front desk, there usually wasn’t anyone there. The bathroom was the smallest I’ve ever seen in my life, you have to turn sideways to get into the shower. If you stay on the island of Lido, choose one of the hotels closest to the waterbus stop. We were not the only ones disappointed with our room, there were others in the lobby voicing their thoughts.

Good Overall

It is an small, nice, and well located hotel in Lido. Customer service was good, and overall the hotel fit my needs. I travel with my son to Venice, and enjoy the quiteness of this hotel. It is conveniently located near the beach 2-3 blocks. The only thing is that the bathroom needs some updates and "deep" cleaning. If you go there, after taking the Vaporetto (boat/bus) to Lido from Venice, make sure to catch the bus, if don’t want to walk a bit (15 minutes) to the hotel.

Just OK

Although the hotel was (barely) adequate with a bed and bathroom, the staff wasn’t very helpful with questions and there isn’t an elevator so carrying bags to the 3rd floor may not be too much fun.

Traveller's tip

The best hazelnut gelatto (called nocciola) for one euro on the main street in town is well worth it!!!!!!

NOT ON VINCE

The hotel is on the island of Lido, NOT VENICE...and you have to pay 13 euro each way per person to get to venice....

pretty average

Easy to get to from the Lido ferry stop, a 15 minute walk along the main road. Nice location and 5 mins from a beach. Staff very helpful (though very limited english) and we had no problems booking in at 2am in the morning. However, room very very small, with huge damp patches, paint peeling off. Windows didnt close, air conditioning had a life of its own and we couldnt turn it off (so it was freezing) and very old decor in the room.

Nice Location when you have a car

We chose this hotel because it had free parking included. The location on the Lido (island about 10 minutes by Valparetti to St. Marks) was convienient. We paid about 25 Euro each way on the car ferry to get the car to Lido. It was worth the expense for the piece of mind that the car was safe while we were in Venice.
