A location designed
to surprise and inspire
This coastal stretch of Venice has been a place of refuge and inspiration for many famous people from both the old and the new continent such as Goethe, Byron, George Sand and De Musset. Lido has been represented over the years in posters and banners as a beach resort, enjoying clear waters and golden sands, all just a short distance from Venice – historic and chaotic in equal measure. It is upon these unique characteristics that this sandy strip of land has based its fortune. The transformation of Lido began at the end of the 1800’s and It quickly grew into one of Europe’s leading seaside resorts, when it became evident that Lido was favoured by those looking for a relaxing holiday in a unique destination. Despite its proximity to Venice, Lido has succeeded in maintaining its own identity and is still today perceived as a enchanting and exclusive island.
