Good hotel and service expected of 4* hotel. On Lido (beach resort). Not on beach side but only 1km away. Lagoon view. Only 5 minute bus trip (every 20 mins) from waterbus terminal with boats every 10 mins to Centre. A great way to travel to Centre. High season prices are high but great off-season rates. Search for them !

Having read several rather poor reviews ofthis hotel I wondered if there were 2 Villa Mapabas on the Lido-the one I stayed in was really lovely-a delightful restaurant serving superb food,lovely gardens,excellent breakfast,kind and helpful staff.The rooms are typically old style italian,but lovely comfy beds and although the bathrooms are small they are well equipped and well kept.The walk to the ferry stop was no more that a brisk 10mins and to the beach 5 mins and regular buses.
The hotel does a brisk trade in weddings and parties so sometimes one cannot use the outdoor restaurant but no drop in food standards even when very busy.I highly reccomend this hotel to anyone who wants the peace and quiet of the Lido as opposed to the hustle and bustle of Venice
