PRESENTATION AND LOCATION

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.
