The hotel is very old and the entire hotel smells very badly. There are no elevators so you have to climb multiple stairs to get to your room. The restaurant tables are very old and dirty. The breakfast was not very good, the scrambled eggs and fruits were obviously leftovers from the day before. You have to order coffee or tea every time and the servers will say things in Italian which didn't seem very nice. Some might like the atmosphere, but I wouldn't recommend it.

This property is in a very quiet location on Lido Beach, far away from the craziness of Venice and its tourists. The property location is very convenient, close to the beach, bus stop and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good, however, they should keep all food items stocked until the closing time of 10 AM and not have them run empty before that. The room was nice, cute and clean, and it was a very comfortable stay for us. Will definitely recommend this!

This should be your choice when going to Venice. Yes, it’s on the Lido, but this is what makes it the perfect choice. Easy water bus back and forth and this property is a gem. If you value beauty,( the gardens are spectacular), hospitality, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Lorenza for her recommendations on dinners. Bountiful breakfast buffet, and outdoor spaces for a relaxing glass of wine or cocktail. If we are fortunate enough to visit Venice again we will surely stay here. The woman who owns the property is also the mentor of the beautiful surroundings and decor.

The Quattro Fontane is simply the best hotel in the Lido. We keep coming back to it each year. It's a charming hotel, all the rooms are unique and beautiful. Wonderful staff, they can help book a beach hut, the ferry to Venice. Breakfast is very nice, especially nice breakfast area outside under the large trees. Highly recommended. Best value on the island. Free parking on site.

A nice quiet place to stay in Venice
The hotel is in an interesting centuries-old complex of buildings with old-fashioned decorations in the local style, but also adorned with interesting contemporary art. (Our room had a Murano glass chandelier.) It's a short walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to the ferry to Venice. They have bikes to rent for 5 euros a day---a bit much to ask for bikes they've put zero effort into maintaining. Why not just make them free? With a bike, you can nicely explore the rest of Lido. The beds were comfortable, but nothing special. The room was clean. Breakfast was nice and could be had in a green courtyard. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Bathroom was tiny. Shower cubicle was so small that when I moved the shower controls caught my body. Super hot, ice cold or no water shower resulted. I’m not a big person either. Air con could do with a boost. Barring these minor points, the hotel had a lovely character and the staff were very good.

Unique hotel
This is a boutique hotel and is something that you will remember. A 20 minute transfer from the train station but the water taxi ride is an experience in itself. A 10 minute ride to the main island for 7.50 is a local delight. The hotel itself you have to see for yourself and it will not disappoint. Good selection for breakfast and complimentary transfer to Murano. A step back in time!!

Real close to the beach. Walking distance snack. As for the property itself, my wife and I enjoyed the quality of mattress, the sheets, lack of noise, the bathtub, the spacious room. The staff was eager to help and engaging. I didn’t like that there was no elevator (but that’s because I have a condition). The lack of elevator was mentioned on Expedia though.

Great location for Lido, easy access back to the S.M.E Vaporetto stop by bus or 10/15 mins walk. Breakfast is lovely, lots of choice for all tastes and the staff serving are welcoming and happy to help. Our triple room was perfectly adequate but due to the unique nature of the room’s architecture it was hard to stand up straight due to the sloped roof and the shower (over bath) was positioned under a slope making it impossible to stand straight when showering. Also no curtain for shower so it created a v soggy bathroom! The cleaning staff visited daily to replace towels, bath mat and bed linen so wasn’t an issue for long! ... All that said, the reception, serving team and house keeping staff were all lovely...

Really charming and interesting hotel - former casino on the lido. Room a decent size, bathroom basic but fine. Location really grew on me - there is something very relaxing about the lido (out of season, at least). Decent restaurants nearby and bike hire was a great option.

We love Lido
Lovely old building in Lido, the artefacts in the historic building are wonderful and nicely presented. Very friendly staff and nice breakfast buffet in the mornings. For fit people it is ok to be on the fourth floor. Should someone have problems to climb 4 flights, make sure you book a room on first floor; it was a bit tough for my 80-year old mother. Next time we go to Venice we will stay in this hotel again, if possible. It is pleasant to be in Lido instead in the midst of crowded Venice. This was the first time for us in Lido, we loved it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was not a Superior Double as booked. In fact it was two single beds pushed together and did not live up to the 4* ratings I was expecting. Breakfast on the 2nd morning was cold which included the fried food and scrambled eggs. The room windows did not fully close which meant the room was open to the elements and led to me being bitten numerous times by insects that made it into the room from nearby planting. The staff also insisted I had something from the mini bar and insinuated i wasn't being honest as I left and refused to pay the 10 euro fee. The hotel is in need of modernisation across the board, the TV's were not wall mounted, light switches were positioned awkwardly, shower curtains did not function, towels were rough, no iron was available after 5pm, no body wash provided (only soap) so there was much that needs to be addressed to bring the hotel to what I would consider a 4* establishment.

Just what we were looking for, an amazing relaxing vacation in a quiet villa 1 block away from the beach in a park like setting. Breakfast was superb. Hotel helped us with arranging the transportation from and to the airport. Had a dinner one night downstairs and it was the best thin crust pizza in Venice (and we ate a lot of pizza and are from New York). The downsides were somewhat weak AC and no gym, but they made up for it with a clay tennis court.

Pleasant stay
A hotel with a nice and friendly atmosphere (garden and lobby), rooms maybe a bit below expectations but it was clean and no major issues. Very close to the beach but it seems that the beach is "private" unless you rent a small wooden house for 100 euros/day (crazy idea), therefore you might want to walk 10 minutes to reach public part of the beach. Breakfast was good and again in very pleasant atmosphere.

Probably the most charming old style hotel in the Lido of Venice. Close to Casino (so have access to boat-taxi if needed), they have own beach cabanas that you can rent from them. The air conditioner worked great, as well as internet. Very nice personnel and breakfast. We go every year and always stay at the Quattro Fontane.

Venice area away from crowds.
We loved the location. It was away from the bustle of old Venice in a comfortable, safe bike friendly area. Bikes were available to borrow from the hotel, and the main drag was a short 8 minute ride away. We even rode the bikes at night. The hotel itself was beautifully furnished with antiques and artwork for great ambiance. The water bus station provided travel to all areas.
