The location of the lagoon to the front, cleanliness and majority of staff were lovely. The rooms were really spacious and cleaned daily

Didn’t like that booking .com advertised the hotel with private beach and at the time of booking had pictures up portraying a beach to the front of the hotel with sun loungers. The beach was about a mile away and it wasn’t private to the hotel. The hotel purchase so many sun-loungers for customers to purchase at a fee higher than what the beach charge. Wouldn’t have booked if known that the beach wasn’t next to the hotel Also area on the way to the beach is a bit derelict with lots of empty run down buildings. Also we were in the annexe of the hotel and whilst rooms were clean and spacious it was a little dated

Fantastic location and a real bonus to have private pontoon for water taxi. Beautiful view of Venice from across the water. Room was very spacious with plenty of storage. Breakfast had a great selection of cold buffet style choices. Outdoor seating in the front garden was lovely and we especially liked the outdoor bar which had a great selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Free use of bikes was appreciated and we enjoyed being able to cycle round the island. Having access to beach parasols and complimentary beach towels was also very helpful. The free water taxi to Murano and glass factory tour is a Must Do for everyone. Staff were helpful, knowledgable and always available. This was our second stay and we'd have no hesitation in recommending this hotel or staying again in future. It offers amazing value for money.

A little disappointing to be on the top floor with only sky lights and therefore no window view but we spent very little time in the room anyway. We did only ever have 2 bath towels and we were 3 guests. We did ask for an extra towel but this never happened. The breakfast room was very busy at certain times, especially when tour groups were together, and we didn't like that they had tables reserved for them.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Villa Mabapa in Lido, Venice, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff was incredibly hospitable and went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. A special mention to the manager, Michael, who truly made our trip special. He took care of everything we needed with a warm and welcoming attitude. The hotel itself is charming, offering a perfect blend of classic Venetian style and modern comfort. The beach was just a short walk away, and it was absolutely amazing—clean, serene, and perfect for relaxation. Overall, Hotel Villa Mabapa exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious stay in Lido, Venice. We can’t wait to return!

The villa has fantastic period furniture, design, decor and atmosphere. Like stepping back into early 20th century glamour. A beautiful library for guests to borrow books, a calm courtyard with views of the lagoon. Good sized air conditioned room and friendly staff. Free bikes to use were brilliant way to get around the island. Great location near beaches and boat stops.

The breakfast was nice but coffee from a machine was a bit weak. The bed was 2 single beds connected so means someone falls in the gap! But these are tiny details. It was a beautiful stay, I would highly recommend and would come again.

That the manager asked us if it was our first time in Venice. We said yes, actually in Italy and he offered us a free penthouse suite upgrade. Fresh fruits at breakfast. Clean room. The manager offered us a free trip to Murano island and a visit to the Murano factory.

There was no parking at the time. The breakfast was full with sugar and unhelalty food that was actually very bad. Pay attention: The front manager offered us with compliments an extra price for a ride with gondola in Venice. Our luck was that we asked in Venice the prices and we discovered that the manager tried to get 30 euro profit on us. Another tip: some of the prices of the jewelry that you can find in the shops from Murano island were less then in the factory shop from Murano.

We arrived cold and soaked from the 10 minute walk in the rain from the boat dock several hours (0830) before check-in at 2pm, hoping to simply leave our luggage while we waited for our room. The front desk clerk greeted us warmly, took our bags to a storage closet, pointed out the toilet to freshen up, informed us of a free taxi boat to Murano for a complimentary glass blowing demonstration at 0945 and invited us to have breakfast Within 10 minutes of arriving, he informed us that our room would be ready in 20 minutes. Our room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. When we checked out the next morning, my husband suggested we might return for our 10th anniversary. He'll get no objection from me!

Beautiful hotel in a nice location. Beach is close and the rooms were good. Peaceful area with a few shops close. Venice is a 10min walk and a 25min boat ride away so its easy to go there

Beds were hard and the shower was really bad as the water was either really cold or really warm.

The property it’s self is stunning we had the pleasure of staying in the biggest room which had its own balcony, the hotel vibe is relaxing and romantic. You get plenty of perks with your hotel stay too including free bike rentals and you can even get your laundry washed for a small charge! The staff are super friendly and attentive. Great selection at breakfast and the cleaners are very efficient. Absolutely loved our stay 10/10 would book again if we ever return to Venice

Can not fault this hotel or staff

Very clean, friendly and great location.

On the first day, the receptionist had told us we were going to get an upgrade to Junior Suite and on arrival to the Suite it was a standard room which was not what we paid for. I went back to reception and requested the room we paid for. We went back and forth and they finally took us to our room. I believe they wanted to give our original room to someone who was attending a wedding that night and thats why we was demoted to a standard room originally. I am glad I fought for the room I paid for. Once we was moved to the room we paid for the staff apologised and we had a brilliant stay from then on.

Elegant Villa with a beautiful terrace full of flowers and view towards the Laguna. Just In front of you is a promenade along the island. Hotel's personnel - a gentleman at reception, was very kind and welcoming, we got early check in and it was so sweet and comfortable. All reception personnel was very friendly and helpful during our stay. We got water taxi to airport very fast in the morning without booking it in advance, a boat arrived just infront of the hotel In 10 minutes. Breakfast and dinner In the garden where romantic and tasty compairing to many restaurants we tried In Venice before. It was a great pleasure to listen live piano music in the hotel salon full of beautiful art pieces and Laguna's sunset shades from the windows. Lido is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay In Venice and get to Biennale. We enjoyed everything!
