Albergo Quattro Fontane Hotel Venice [edit info]
Via Quattro Fontane 16
Venice, Italy
Description:The delightful Albergo Quattro Fontane Hotel, less like a hotel and more like a large countryhouse immersed in parkland, lies just minutes from the beach and from the ferry embankment in Venice Lido, providing an ideal destination for those seeking a relaxing Venice holiday. The hotel lies only 10 km from the Venice airport and boasts frequent connections to St.Mark's Square by boat; departures every 5 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes at night. The aristocrat Daniele Pisani created between 1573 and 1575 the first ridotto or casino located on the Lido and built by the Venetian aristocracy to enjoy country air and conversation. The property became a tavern (frequented by English poet Robert Browning) during the 19th century and was later transformed into a hotel between 1905 and 1926. These days it has been embellished with a fascinating and rich collection of antique furniture and art objects by its current owners, and offers an atmosphere of sophisticated grace and charm. On-site amenities include a bar and restaurant, high-speed Internet access, meeting/banquet space, secretarial services, a tennis court, bicycle hire and an immense floral courtyard.

Although the single room was small, it was clean and well appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly. Water taxis and the beach were within easy walking range. Breakfasts and dinners in the garden were a real treat, although service was a bit slow. Enjoy!

The hotel was in a good location close to the beach and in a quiet area of the Lido, unfortunately the majority of the staff were not forthcoming with information and a little surly. As we were in the main part of the hotel which is quite old the windows were too and made quite a noise when they shook as cars etc drove past. Would better suit someone who likes quaint, quirky hotels and can sleep through the window noise.

I found the staff to be most helpful and accomodating without being intrusive The surrounding area was also spectacular I will stay here again if and when I come back

rooms in the old section are a bit tired. The new section rooms are very nice. Common areas are excellent. Breakfast in the garden was of excellent quality and the surroundings were very pleasant. Night staff fumbled a little but the reservations manager who staffs the desk in the morning stood out for his professionalism, friendly advice and helpfulness. The Lido is a beautiful location but it is a 75 Euro cab ride from the centre of Venice. The hotel offers a nice tour by water taxi to the centre via Murano --where one can take in glass making -- for a very small price. The tour is worth taking but expect a presistent sales pitch after the short glass making demonstration.

Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour à l'auberge : quattro fontane.l'endroit est ravissant.Peut-être un peu excentré de la station du vaporetto, mais c'est l'occasion de découvrir l'île du lido qui est très belle.(2 stations de bus pour les gens pressés.)15m pour aller à St Marc la ballade en vaporetto est toujours plaisante.après une bonne journée à venise,c'est un havre de paix et de fraîcheur.

The hotel was beautiful. Room service excellent and the restuarant food was very enjoyable. The only problem was the double bed made from two single beds/mattresses.

This was my second stay at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and the rooms were immaculate. I stayedin both the main hotel and the annexe. I would recommend this hotel with no reservations about it at all.

It was a pleasant hotel and we enjoyed our stay very much. The quality of the food at dinner was variable but overall we were made to feel welcome and did not feel the price was too high, given that we were in Venice.

Having stayed in this hotel 25 years previously, we found the standard was still very high. Restful ambiance, good breakfasts and lovely gardens. A long walk from the ferry terminal but bus runs close by. Very near beach.

I stayed with my mother four days in this lovely peacefull placeat the Lido, which is a blessing when you return from Venice. The service and atmosphere were excellent. The room was very nice and comfortable, with lovely furniture and airco. The restaurant( we ate outside) was good. Especially the atmosphere and the service. De food was of a rather good quality but the dishes were not so special. Far from haute cuisine but the prices were compared to other places (where the food was more delicate), rather high though. That was the only 'dissonant' here. Overall a recommendable albergo where we certainly would like to go back to.
