Hotel Villa Stella
In the calm beauty of Lido di Venezia nestles Hotel Villa Stella, a symbol of a noble welcome and timelessness. This elegant villa was constructed in the 1940s, and the hotel is still run by one family, who lovingly cared for it generation after generation, thus retaining the air of authenticity reflective of the real Venetian life.
This charming hotel is one of the favorites on the island, with a relaxed atmosphere, distinctive rooms, and a lush garden. Well-placed near Adriatic beaches and vaporetto stops, Hotel Villa Stella offers the perfect mix of leisure, elegance, and access to the historic heart of Venice.
Location: Serenity by the Sea
Hotel Villa Stella is located at Via Sandro Gallo, 111, 30126 Lido VE, nestled in the quiet residential area within Lido di Venezia. This island district provides a refreshing contrast to the bustling main city-a place where sandy beaches meet historic villas shaded by pines and olive trees.
From the Hotel Imperial, one can reach:
It only takes a few minutes of walking to Lido Beach.
The Vaporetto Pier, which provides easy transportation to St. Mark's Square in approximately 10 minutes.
The setting of the Venice Film Festival is within a short walk along Lido's leafy boulevards.
It takes advantage of the setting, offering a guest the best of both worlds: the art and history of Venice during the day and the quiet rhythm of the seaside at night. Local cafes, small boutiques, and bicycle-friendly streets give this neighborhood an even more local flair.
Heritage and Ambience
Hotel Villa Stella is a former private residence that still retains much of its early 20th-century elegance. Classic Venetian villa style marks the building architecture, with walls in terracotta, arched windows, and intricate wrought-iron balconies.
Inside, décor harmoniously merges old-world charm and modern comfort. Antique furniture, shining wooden floors, and soft pastel hues make one feel well at ease. Rambling corners in this hotel are at once intimate and refined, speaking to decades of gentle care at the hands of owners.
The garden courtyard is a treasure: an oasis of peace and quiet where guests can enjoy breakfast, read a book, or sip an evening drink under the shade of lemon trees. The sweet scent of flowers and the sound of faraway church bells complete the idyllic setting.
