Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The 1930s Villa Mabapa faces the Venetian lagoon on the Lido, a slender island 10 minutes from St. Mark’s Square by boat. A shaded courtyard leads from the tranquil waterfront to three linked villas. Public spaces are appointed with Oriental rugs and antiques. In summer, European families come here for the beach and culture. Spring and autumn draw an international clientele.
Amenity highlights: The Villa Mabapa makes optimal use of its scenic waterfront location. The lagoon-side patio offers alfresco dining in summer. Guests have complimentary use of the hotel’s bicycles, and can take a cruise on the hotel’s private motorboat (surcharge). Complimentary boat excursions are also available to Murano Island, where guests can watch glass-blowing demonstrations.
Insider tip: Guests can stock up on goodies at the delicatessen on Lido’s main street, opposite the pier, for a picnic in the hotel’s back garden.
