The Hotel Villa Delle Palm occupies a converted home on a quiet residential street on the Lido. From St. Marks Square, it is a 30 minute ferry ride to the Lido, and another 10 minute walk to the Hotel. There are 12 rooms, with a bathroom on each floor except the top. There are no rooms with privite baths. Our room was comfortably furnished with two twin beds, a desk and armoire and we had a window overloking their lovely garden. The mattresses were soft (finally!) but not lumpy or sagging, and the room was clean and bright. Breakfast was served downstairs on a room filled with bentwood chairs and tables. The meal was basic (only a hard roll with butter and coffee) but the room was pleasant. The bathrooms are very large, both with baths and showers, but I had a difficult time getting hot water. Most of my showers were tepid at best.
We were visiting in the off season, so the rates were extremely reasonable. I loved the residential feel of the Lido, and enjoyed having a hotel away from the husle of the city. I have since noticed that the rates here have increased dramatically. At the time of our stay, this was a 2 star hotel, which has since been upgraded to a three star. If the increase in service correlates, this would be a very good hotel for the expense.
