Vacation in Italy,Venice and Lido di Jesolo

July 07, 2009 By: kiram Category: Guides, Recreation and sport, Show, Theaters, Travel tips, hotels

One of the best resorts in Italy is Lido di Jesolo, located on the Venetian Riviera. It is only 40 km away from Venice, but it allows you to experience the best of the Veneto Region in Italy: Venice, the beach, shopping, partying, etc. A 15 km long promenade of bars, restaurants, shops and of course, the beach, is everything one needs for a perfect vacation in Italy. From Lido di Jesolo there is a boat that takes you directly to St. Mark’s Square in Venice in about 30 minutes. It is one of the most beautiful views of the city and definitely a pleasant trip.

Hotel Excelsior in Lido di Jesolo (near Venice) is a perfect place to spend your vacation in Italy. It contains everything one needs to enjoy: private beach, pool, bar, restaurant as well as friendly staff and great service. Make sure you eat at the hotel also. Although there is a stereotype of hotel food being not so great, this is definitely an exception. The new chef, Francesco, who prior to coming to the Excelsior worked at the Nobu restaurant in London , is bound to make you fall in love with the cuisine. Besides traditional Italian food, there is always fresh grill, amazing salad bar and much much more.
